Si-Hing Zachary Kell is the head instructor at Empire City Self Defense and an avid student of Latosa Escrima. He opened his school in 2009 after intensive training under Si-fu Edgar Rotger and Si-jai Xuan Mai since January of 2007. He hopes to better his understanding of Wing Tzun through the instruction of his students and continued practice at the Park Slope school. Wing Tzun is his first and primary system of martial arts and he has made it a way of life in combination with his career as a chef. His goal is to expand his school and introduce others to the benefits of studying martial arts while promoting the EBMAS and Latosa Escrima systems.
