Michael Fitzgerald
Inst. Michael joined Penrith branch in 2001 after practising Karate for a number of years. He became a Level 1 Instructor in 2004 and received his Blue Uniform in 2006. He graded to Level 2 in 2007.
A physicist by profession, Inst. Michael finds the simplicity and efficiency of Wing Chun particularly appealing. He says Sifu Jim Fung’s keen interest in the science of Wing Chun encouraged Instructors to believe there was always something more to discover within the art.
Inst. Michael is assisted in running Penrith branch by Level 1 Instructor Patrick Thomas.
