Francis Fong has over 35 years experience in Wing Chun and is considered
by many to be one of the finest Wing Chun instructors in the U.S.A. He

New York. Two years later he relocated to Atlanta, GA and opened the Francis

While
working on the movie "Sharky's Machine" Sifu Francis met Guro
Dan Inosanto who was also working on the movie. This led to Sifu Francis
studying Jun Fan Gung Fu/Jeet Kune Do and the Filipino martial arts. Sifu
Francis is the Georgia Representative for Guro Dan Inosanto with Full
Instructor ranking in both Filipino martial arts and Jun Fan Gung Fu (JKD
Concepts). Sifu Francis is an instructor in Muay Thai and also the Southeastern

of Master "Chai" Sirisute.
