From his childhood, Sifu Mark always wanted to start Martial Arts training. However it was only in 1991 that he decided to start training in Kung Fu. He joined Gaffiero's club as a white belt with some encouragement from a friend.
From that day, he continued training regularly progressing from one belt to another. Due to an injury, he had to quit training for some years. However upon his comeback in 1997, he immediately started training again from where he left off.
Sifu Mark attained his Black sash in December 2000 after a hard and strenous exam that
was conducted by SIfu Gaffiero.
He continued his training at the club and eventually progressed to the level of Instructor.
Nowadays, Sifu Mark is one of the youngest instructors at Gaffiero kwoon, bringing fresh ideas
to the pool of other instructors. Apart from conducting the weekly Kung fu lessons with the other instructors, Sifu Mark also organises a specialised Self Defence course aimed at Women. This is held at the club on a regular basis.
Sifu Mark is part of the club committee and acts as the club PR officer.
