IEF Martial Arts Academy is the real deal and I highly recommended it for anyone looking for a deeper understanding of the Chinese martial arts. I have been involved in the arts for many years starting studies in the late 70s and in earnest throughout the 80s in NYC and later in Asia. I can say unequivocally that Sifu Ian has a very unique grasp of martial arts with not only the physical expertise in systems as diverse as Wing Chun, Northern Praying Mantis, Taiji, Arnis / Escrima, and others, but a unique ability to explain the deeper meaning of the movements and the philosophy behind the arts that date back many centuries to the Shaolin temple. I have a better understanding of the Chinese Martial arts now since I have resumed my training under Sifu Ian then at any point in the past and I think that anyone who wants to learn either as a beginner or as a more advanced practitioner looking to get more out of their martial arts training, no matter what the style, will find a home at IEF Martial Arts Academy.

I have been training for a few years and I have to say I am in total agreement with brother LJ. Master Ian is amazing and not to mention truly a humble and unique Sifu. I would not recommend anybody else to train under than Master Ian Edmund Fusco. Kung Fu Life!

Testimonial for 2014 GM Benny Meng Seminar - White Tiger Track=
I had the privilege and honor to attend Sigung/Grandmaster Benny Meng's White Tiger Track Seminar this past May. I have attended every yearly seminar by GM Meng - this was my 4th - and I always come away having learned something new, developed a better understanding of the human body, delved into deeper Shaolin / Kung Fu / Wing Chun theories, concepts, principles, practical applications and life skills.
GM Meng not only delivered again, he outdid himself during this year's seminar with the unveiling of his 'White Tiger Track' curriculum. I personally believe what GM Meng has done with his White Tiger Track is nothing short of a masterpiece. Here's why...
As the curator of the Ving Tsun Museum, he has been granted access to a lot of 'closed-door' information and knowledge. GM Meng has dedicated years of painstaking research on finding out every aspect - mindset, concepts, principles, lineages, training, techniques, forms, applications - in order to uncover what the original Shaolin Kung Fu & Wing Chun was comprised.
Now after 20+ years of study, GM Meng had taken all this research and has been able to put back together all the pieces of the original puzzle that was Shaolin Wing Chun. And then he took it a step further by distilling it all and creating a system to fast-track development of these skills while still holding true to the original methods, calling it 'The White Tiger Track'.
While I am always impressed by GM Meng's teaching ability and wealth of knowledge, there are no words to describe how much more impressed I was with what I learned from this year's 'White Tiger Track' Seminar. It was a true honor and privlege which left me so grateful and humbled to have been a part of this.
Thank you Sigung/ GM Benny Meng for sharing your work with us.
Thank you Sifu Ian for your teaching and support.
Thank you to the IEF Kung Fu Family for allowing me to learn alongside you.
I look forward to the White Tiger Track journey.
