    About Greg H.

    47 years of experience. The lineage of my instruction goes back hundreds of years, to the burning of Shaolin Temple, through the late Grandmaster Wong Jack Man. Master Hayes studied side 1971: Qigong, Tai Chi, Chi Sao and Shaolin Buddhist meditation a Northern Shaolin based style, from Grandmaster Joseph Greenstein, called the Wide Circle of Kung Fu.  Grandmaster Joseph Greenstein was also known as the Mighty Atom, and had many strength records documented in Ripley's Believe it or Not five times and  in the 1976 Guinness Book of World Records. Sifu Greg Hayes trained under Grandmaster Wong Jack Man of San Francisco Jing Mo; studying Tai Chi, Shaolin, Xingyi and other Internal Martial Arts. The recent film Birth of a Dragon, is about Grandmaster Wong Jack Man beating Bruce Lee in a match. I have written a book on the subject: Axe Hand; Hsing-i and Internal Energy Workout.
