THE SIFU: Kung Fu Redemption

OVERVIEW
THE SIFU is an action reality show about redemption and transformation through the way of Kung Fu – including not only the martial arts, but also the world of esoteric and powerful Taoist secrets, and Chinese healing. With life’s challenges – loss, addiction, lack of confidence, health concerns – sometimes a massive intervention is needed to help create chang

e. THE SIFU takes viewers on a journey toward self-improvement as students from all walks of life go through the challenging, transformational journey from unbalanced to centered and from wimp to warrior. DETAILS
THE SIFU revolves around Sifu Richard Baron, who started his journey in martial arts 30 years ago and has been a powerful force in his many student’s lives for positive change. Over the years, he has watched the transcendent changes that Kung Fu has made in his own life. Once he started teaching others Kung Fu, he witnessed firsthand the ways that hard work and training have transformed the lives of his students. They have become more self-confident, physically fit and self-disciplined with increased focus and inner peace. His students include professional soldiers, elite martial artists, former gang members, CEOs, rock stars, and elite professionals. He also works with the weakest amongst us, such as the overweight, unemployed, homeless, victims of violence, bullied, and the lost. They seek out the journey into Kung Fu to transform themselves. Each student who has come through our doors has their own story; including why they’ve sought out the Sifu and how they’ve embraced the martial arts to help center their lives. THE SIFU is based at the Kung Fu Power Little Nine Heaven Temple of Kung Fu and Tai Chi located outside of Chicago in Highland Park, Illinois. The students on the show live and train at the Kung Fu Power School as full time Kung Fu Monks. At the school, under the watchful eye of the Sifu and his team of instructors, they are gradually transformed into living, breathing weapons, with the ability to make a positive change in this world. They are put through a program of training that helps them develop unique, problem-solving skills, deal with violence and conflict, and find inner peace. The lessons learned during their training not only assist them with their immediate challenges, but they also give them a blueprint to build a more balanced life. ABOUT SIFU RICHARD BARON
