"My first recollection of Grandmaster James Shyun and Eight Step Preying Mantis is from a kung fu magazine article in 1985. It was not until some time later that I actually met Grandmaster Shyun in San Francisco, California. There was something genuine and authentic about him."
Soon afterwards, Sifu Nakamoto's journey into the world of Eight Step Preying Mantis Kung Fu and Shyun Style Tai Chi began. In 1999, he achieved a significant milestone when he became certified and recognized by the American Chinese Martial Arts Federation as a Sifu of the Eight Step Preying Mantis system.
Born in Guadalajara Mexico, Eduardo grew up in San Francisco's Mission District where he continues to live and teach Kung Fu. He first started training in Eight Step Praying Mantis in 1999 and began his study under Grandmaster Shyun Kwong Long in 2000. "Kung Fu really changed my outlook on life. I'm more concerned with quality of life now, putting a bigger emphasis on achieving health, peace of mind and spirituality."
