Sifu Kevin O’Melia
Sifu Kevin has been training Wing Chun for the last 10 years with the Colorado School of Wing Chun. Although he had an interest in martial arts while growing up, he didn’t start his training until he found the right school. The Colorado School of Wing Chun proved to be the home he was looking for. Kevin has embraced the path of Wing Chun and wishes to pass down all he has learned to future generations. He loves the inter-sectional nature of Wing Chun’s internal and external elements. The challenge has helped transform him into who he is now. He has also recently started training Chen style Tai Chi and seeks to gain a deeper understanding of the internal arts. Kevin became Sifu Ron’s disciple in 2017, and was made Sifu in 2019.

Sifu Jerry Culbreath
Jerry started practicing martial arts in 2011 when he joined the Colorado School of Wing Chun. He found training and applying the schools philosophies greatly enriched all aspects of his life. He is now living in Ohio with his family, working on Motorcycles, and training Wing Chun Kung Fu in his free time. Jerry became Sifu Ron’s disciple in 2017, and was made Sifu in 2019.
