“My name is James W. DeMile and I created the gung fu style known as Wing Chun Do. I had the privilege of being one of Bruce Lee’s first students and have taught his method of street fighting for over 45 years. During this time I have trained and developed a number of instructors in my art. As in any profession, a few individuals will always stand out from the rest, regarding applied skills and/or teaching ability. One of these unique instructors is Chris Blanke. His applied skills have allowed him to be recognized as a world class tournament fighter, both in Wing Chun Do and Sports Jujitsu. His many Gold Medals and First place finishes have set records which will be hard to duplicate. Above that, he is a superb teacher. His dedication and focus to make each student the best they can be is a reflection of his desire to be the best in every thing he does. I am honored to have him as a student, a fellow teacher, but most of all as a friend.”
