SiGung (Instructor) Steven G. Jungmann has loved martial arts since a young boy...especially kung fu. He began studying Pai Lum Kung Fu in the mid 1980’s and has trained ever since. He and his school had the distinction of being the first outside school adopted by Grandmaster Glenn C. Wilson into his Gong Yuen Chuan Fa Family (‘Family of the Hard and Soft Fist’) in 1994. He was honored by Grandmaster in 2000 by being elevated to the distinguished title of Dragon Warrior and received the permanent symbol of the Family Shield emblazoned on his arm as well as his Chinese name, Sheng, or "Rising." In 2002 SiGung Jungmann defeated opponents from around the world to take the Super Heavy Weight Full Contact Lei Tai champion title. SiGung Jungmann continues to train under his teacher, Grandmaster Glenn Wilson, and travels with him around the nation to serve the Gong Yuen Chuan Fa family and spread the Pai Lum Tao.
