Social proof: testimonials

“If you are interested in Shuai Jiao, short of moving to Beijing and joining a club there, this is the best training you can get. Sonny is a detailed and talented teacher and practitioner. ”

Ty F.

“The Guang Wu Shuai Jiao Fundamentals course allowed me to not only increase my strength and flexibility while grappling but also to get an introduction to throws and takedowns that I could integrate into my daily BJJ practice. Sonny's lessons and teachings are clear, concise, and detailed. Whenever I found something wasn't working, I would go back, rewatch the videos, and discover the detail I was missing, he had already covered. The lessons are structured in such a way that they build you from the ground up, even if you've never grappled before. I highly recommend anyone that wants to get started with Shuai Jiao take this course.”
