sun state martial arts
About our martial arts club
We are dedicated to providing a welcoming and motivating environment for martial artists of all ages and skill levels. Our focus is on traditional methods and the practical application of these methods under stress and pressure. Our training has Kung Fu and Tai Chi as foundation but also incorporates concepts and methods from other disciples such as Karate, Jiu Jitsu, and others.
As a club, we offer an experience that goes beyond the classic concept of a martial arts school. We are a community of passionate individuals who share a love for martial arts and a commitment to personal growth. Whether you are a beginner looking to embark on a new journey or an advanced practitioner seeking to refine your skills, Sun State Martial Arts could be a perfect fit for you.
While our primary focus is on Kung Fu and Tai Chi, we are constantly evolving. As we grow, we plan to expand into a larger facility and establish multiple locations throughout the state, allowing us to offer more than just Kung Fu and Tai Chi. We believe in providing career opportunities for traditional martial artists who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and expertise.

He began his martial arts journey in New Jersey at the age of four with Kenpo Karate. Following his high school graduation, he enlisted in the United States Navy (2006), where he had the opportunity to explore Wing Chun kung fu thanks to a shipmate.

It incorporated spiritual concepts such as yin yang and employed highly effective techniques like simultaneous attack and block. This exposure to Chinese kung fu gave Dayne a new perspective of martial arts. Upon returning to civilian life, Dayne continued to deepen his knowledge and skills under the guidance of various esteemed masters learning Long Ying Boxing (Southern Dragon Style), Bak Mei (White Eyebrow), Yang style Tai Chi, Southern Praying Mantis.
