My name is Mergan.
I joined Kung Fu in August 2006, a year after I came to Canada. I went to School at Delta high school in Hamilton.
I lost someone close to me in 2004. I was not in a good place when I came to Canada and made a lot of mistakes. I was an angry kid. A friend from school started to teach me Kung Fu. Sadly, he moved to Hawaii in June 2006 and it’s the last time I saw him. Before he left, he told me about Neworld Martial Arts and told me to try Wing Chun.
When I started Wing Chun, I mostly kept to myself and train as hard as I could. As time went by, I made very good friends with the other Wing Chun students. Then I met someone there and after couple of years of dating, we had a beautiful child together. Unfortunately, the relationship went south and there was turbulence in my life again. I stopped training; this made things worse. Fortunately, after a year or so, I came to realize that there will always be some turbulence in the journey that is life and that training in Wing Chun Kung Fu keeps me focus and grounded.
I have earned my black sash in 2011.
