About Me
- Phillip Starr
- Liuzhou, Guangxi Province, China
- I began training in the martial arts in 1956. My primary art is Yiliquan kung-fu, which I developed after training with my teacher, Master W.C. Chen (a student of the legendary Zhang Zhaodong). I am also a yudansha of Kyokushin karate, and a certified instructor of the Pekiti-Tersia arnis system. I was the first kung-fu stylist to become a U.S. National Champion under the auspices of the USKA (United States Karate Assn) in 1976. In 1992 I came out of retirement to become U.S. National Champion once again. From 1991-95 I was the National Chairman for the AAU Chinese Martial Arts Division, which became the largest kung-fu organization in the nation. I have authored five books to date; The Making Of A Butterfly, Martial Mechanics, Martial Maneuvers, Hidden Hands, and Developing Jin. I lived in China for 3 yrs.,in the bowels of the dragon...Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province, China. and have now returned to Omaha, NE. where I continue to write and teach traditional Chinese martial arts.
