Sifu Gullette has learned from some of the world's best, including GrandmasterGrandmaster Chen Xiaoxing practices with Sifu Ken Gullette Chen Xiaowang, Grandmaster Chen Xiaoxing (photo at right shows Sifu Gullette practicing with Chen Xiaoxing when the grandmaster visited Sifu Gullette's home in the U.S. for one week), Master Ren Guangyi, Master Chen Bing, and their disciples and students. He has held rank with Grandmaster Sin The (Shaolin), Master Phillip Starr (founder of Yiliquan), and Master Randy Chambliss (Taekwondo). Sifu Gullette won more medals at the 1990 AAU National Kung-Fu Championships than any other competitor, including the Gold medal in advanced men's Tai Chi forms and weapons forms, plus medals in Hsing-I and Bagua. He has tested himself in the fire of competition, winning dozens of first-place trophies in forms, weapons, and sparring.

One of the most striking things he has learned over the years is this "secret" of the internal arts: Too many teachers focus their students on "cultivating chi" and the metaphysical. As a result, their students don't learn the physical skills they need to do proper internal kung-fu.

Members of this site are amazed when they see the physical skills clearly demonstrated -- skills their teachers haven't taught them. There are some teachers out there who teach the proper skills, but they are few and far between. Most teachers, particularly tai chi instructors (unless they are Chen instructors) just aren't teaching the body mechanics required for good internal kung-fu. They tell their students that they know what they're doing. Some of them even call themselves "master." But their students end up spending a lot of money and time practicing bad kung-fu.

Even though his background speaks for itself, nothing is better than what Sifu Gullette's students think about him:

Testimonial from Rich Coulter, Black Sash

"I had a brown belt in TKD when I met Sifu Gullette in 1997. I began studying with him and learned more about martial arts in 2 months than I had learned in the previous two years studying TKD.

In the years since, I earned my black sash and my life has changed. I wouldn't take $100,000 for my martial arts knowledge, experience, and my relationship with Sifu Gullette.

The quality of his instruction became obvious as I won almost every tournament competition I entered. I was in high school when I began studying, and in a short time my mother ran out of storage space for my tropies! One day, we walked into a huge tournament, and another competitor in my division was overheard saying, 'Rich is here. The best I can hope for now is second place.'

Beyond that, Sifu Gullette really cares for his students and becomes a mentor. He has made a big difference in my life. And to see him continue to study and learn, and then pass along what he learns to his students -- that's very rare in a teacher. He doesn't hold anything back. 

I hope you'll join the site. I'm a member and look forward to talking with you in the teleconferences and discussion board. Maybe we'll meet at a workshop."
