Sifu Bob Rosen

Wah Lum Kung Fu of the U.S.A was started by Grandmaster
Chan Pui in Boston over 33 years ago. He was one of the first Chinese
martial artists to place a great importance on diversity and to start
a school open to all who would work hard to master the art.

Sifu Bob Rosen has been instructing in the Martial Arts since 1972 and is
the Chief Instructor of the Wah Lum Kung Fu Athletic Association, established
in 1984. He is the first non-Asian instructor to operate a school in
Boston's Chinatown, and he has been a 7 generation student of
Grandmaster Chan since 1976.

Sifu Rosen was certified to teach the Wah Lum Northern Praying
Mantis System in 1979 and has helped propagate the style in conjunction
with Grandmaster Chan for many years. He traveled to China between
1986 and 2001 to demonstrate, compete and to research other martial arts.
In 1989 he was a member of the first non-Asian group to study Kung Fu
in the Shaolin Temple. In 1994 he won a Gold Medal in the Open Weapons
division at the Beijing International Tournament in China.
In 2001 he was the senior coach for the Wah Lum team at the Shaolin Wushu
competition in Zhenghou, China, which won numerous awards. He has coached
many students who have been successful in fighting, forms, and weapons
at local, national and international events.

In addition to establishing himself as a traditional instructor of the Wah
Lum System, Sifu Rosen has studied Tai Chi Chuan, Iron Palm (breaking),
and Lion Dance from Grandmaster Chan and other U.S. and China
based Masters. He has been invited to participate as a judge and to
demonstrate at various Martial Arts events around the country.

Sifu Rosen continues the proud tradition of developing first rate martial artists
through the rigorous physical training balanced by a philosophy that stresses
self control, respect for others, fellowship and hard work.
