Instructor/Sifu Jean

Sifu Jean West began her study in the martial arts in 1957 when her parents, who were in the Air Force, relocated to Japan for six years. During that time she was enrolled in Judoclasses by her mother and achieved the rank of Brown Belt.

King's T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Sifu Jean

In the early 1970's she began studying Southern Sil Lum 5 Animal 5 Family Kung-Fu at Bates Kung-Fu Studio in Southern California instructed by Professor & Mrs. Bates.

Professor Gilbert Bates was a student of Ark Yuey Wong as well as Dr. Fenia Woo and Mai Lu Chiang. During this time, Jean West participated in numerous demonstrations and exhibitions that were held at the Bates Studios, throughout Southern California.

In the early 1980's Jean West continued her study of 5 Animal 5 Family Style with Sifu Richard Mieir-King of King's Inner Path Kung Fu in Lakewood, CA (www.KingsKungFu.com). (also a student of Professor Gilbert Bates) and has continued her studies with Sifu Mieir-King to this present date, achieving her Black Sash in 1987.

Jean West also received a certificate of recognition from the NABBHOF as acknowledgement of her being an Instructor/Sifu on October 2001.

Sifu Jean West not only participates in classes taught by Sifu Richard Mieir-King, but also serves as an instructor. She also participates in demonstrations and seminars held by Sifu Mieir-King's Kung Fu School and assists in arranging and organizing demonstrations and events in Southern California. She also helps in teaching extension classes in Catalina and elsewhere.

Sifu West feels that Kung-Fu means hard work and so hard work is what you must put into it. If you only give 10 percent, then that is all you can expect back. If you want more from it, you must give more to it. It's all up to you.

According to Sifu Mieir-King, "Sifu Jean is an excellent assistant and when I leave the class to her I know that the class and students are in good hands and that they will receive a top notch workout and class!"
