Golden Harmony Kung Fu has been an integral aspect of my entire adult life. I met Sifu Harvey on the beach of Lake Ontario, when I was just eighteen years old. Seeing the man move with such grace and yet with so much power, along with his group of young and enthusiastic students, I had to find out more about what they were doing. We actually sat for over an hour on a park bench just talking about life, the Art, philosophy, all kinds of things. Yet, our conversation seemed to weave all those things with a common thread; that the development of self was imperative for the survival and prosperity of life.

I met Sifu Rupert Harvey while competing at a Kung-Fu tournament in 2000.  At that time I had already trained for 5 years and was a senior student in the style of Wing Chun.  After talking to Sifu Harvey for only an hour, I was astounded by his depth of knowledge and his incredible execution of techniques.  His skill in the style of praying mantis was clearly far superior to anything and everything that I learned up to that point.  The next week I completely quit my old style and decided to follow him in hopes of attaining the skills I saw and felt that day.
