I urge anyone who lives in or around the Lakeland area to pay a visit to his studios at 116 E. Pine Street in the downtown Lakeland area.

Sifu Brumfield

Tampa Martial Arts and Self-Defense, Sifu Garret BrumfieldI am the 1st Black Sash Sifu under Sifu Och. I have been under his instruction for over 13 years and continue to train under him on a weekly basis. I can honestly say that I am learning new ways of self-defense and martial arts and am looking forward to sharing these techniques to those who are willing to be under my tutelage.

Outside of underground boxing, I’ve had no previous martial art experience. My biggest issue was being able to stand toe-to-toe with fighters bigger than myself. With the knowledge that I’ve gained under Sifu Och, I am very confident in my ability to react and defend myself or others when the need arises.

Black Sash Test 2021

 

On March 27th, I tested and achieved the rank of Sifu. The test lasted 4 hours and was tiring but in the end, I became Sifu Och’s first Black sash.

I began this journey 13 years ago and just wanted to learn how to defend myself better. In May 2008, I made the slightly difficult decision to start my training under Sifu Och. At that time I was living in Wesley Chapel and making that trip to Lakeland, at least 4 times a week was rough. But 13 years later, that sacrifice has, and is still paying off.
