"If you do for something consistently for 28 years you are going to make some interesting distinctions."
Korbett Miller has been an enthusiastic student of the martial arts since he was twelve years old. A Black Sash since 1986, in 1993 he was awarded the title Sibok in the art of Wing Chun Do Gung Fu, an early version of Jeet Kune Do (Bruce Lee's Fighting Style). Korbett literally lived in the back of James DeMile's school for three years and traveled domestically and abroad, teaching martial arts. Check out this link about Korbett in the Kirkland Reporter.
