With the gracious permission of my brothers Owen Schilling and Randel Davis over at The Kung Fu Conversations Podcast, here is a rebroadcast of a conversation I had with Sifu Russ Smith. Sifu Russ expressed an interest in martial arts as a young teenager, and began learning Karate basics with a family friend. It wasn't until Russ was on extended vacation in the Philippines over thirty years ago that he began his formaltraining in Japanese Goju-Ryu under Australian instructor, Sensei Iyan Mackenzie. Russ's desire to continue research on the origins and influences on Goju-Ryu has lead him to also study Fujian and Hakka arts such as Five Ancestor (Ngo Cho Kun / Wuzuquan), White Eyebrow (Pak Mei), and White Crane Boxing styles....Russ's focus is preserving, promoting, and researching the arts of Okinawa, Southern China, Malaysia, and the Philippines at his Burinkan dojo.
