He was inspired to train by heroes on the big screen such as Bruce Lee and the talented cast members of the Shaw Bros. Company. He began training locally in the Art of Tae Kwon Do, which he is a 5th Degree Rank. He later trained in Chinese Gung Fu, Wing Chun and Western Boxing as influenced by Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.

In the world of Mixed Martial Arts, he is a COACH Level 3 of Champions and World Reknown Trainer Erik Paulson in his Combat Submission Wrestling system.

"Master Ace" began his training with Muay Thai after he gained much traditional arts training. His first formal training began with Kru Vut Kamnark who introduced him to Kru Ponsan Ekyothin. After establishing himself as a solid trainer and coach, he began working with Fairtex Muay Thai in San Francisco, CA under the late Muay Thai Champion Alex (F-14) Gong.
