Sifu Lloyd Fridenburg

Sifu Lloyd is an award winning writer with many articles published in local, national, and international media.  He has trained in the art of Shaolin Five Animal Kung Fu for nearly twenty years, currently holds a Third Degree Black Sash, and is working towards his Fourth Degree.  Sifu Lloyd is a senior instructor at the Waterloo Kung Fu Academy. 

When asked about his motivation in writing these books (A Martial Arts Primer for Parents and Middle Aged Warriors) Sifu Lloyd had this to say:

“Through observation and first hand experience I know how daunting the decision can be when someone first decides to begin training in the martial arts.  Older adults are often concerned about the physical demands and potential for injury, while parents often have little information of vlaue to refer to when seeking out a style and school for their children.  Potential students of all ages usually grab the Yellow Pages or check ads in fliers and begin calling around. 

My primary objective is to provide newcomers to the world of martial arts the information necessary to make intelligent decisions when seeking out a school and style.  I will also provide unique and valuable martial arts information for adults over 40 and show how martial ats is a realistic and safe activity for older adults.”
