On this episode of The Mind Sensei Podcast, host Peter Tas sits down with Mr. Michael Matsuda, the 6th Generation Grandmaster of Tai Shing Pek Kwar (Monkey Kung Fu) and the founder & president of the Martial Arts History Museum.
With over 45 years of experience in martial arts, Mr. Matsuda is recognized worldwide as the leading authority on Monkey Kung Fu. He is the only living successor of this rare art, having personally trained under Master Paulie Zink, and is one of the few non-Chinese martial artists to master all five monkey forms.
In Part 1, Michael shares his early beginnings in martial arts – from Judo in 1968, to Hung Gar under Sifu Lyle Fujioka and Buck Sam Kong, and eventually to Monkey Kung Fu, where he dedicated decades of his life to preserving and teaching the art.
