Brodey Shand

Brodey Shand Team PKF Peninsula Kung Fu

Brodey has attained the complete knowledge of the Wing Chun system, earning his Black sash in 2016. He also has extensive fitness levels and is a Blue Belt In Brazillian Ju Jitsu.

Brodey began training when he was 5 years old. Training under Sifu Glenn, his father, always meant Brodey was working harder than any other student. And so he did, and whilst doing so he gained solid understanding of the system as well the respect of older and more widely experienced students. Alongside increased technical knowledge Brodey’s confidence and awareness grew, which continues to aid him in his career and personal endeavours.

Brodey represents all that is beneficial about training in the martial arts. He is confident in his abilities without showing off, he is respectful to all students and always has carefully considered advice for improvement, he trains with intensity throughout the levels and is highly regarded for his skills.

At Peninsula Kung Fu, Brodey is developing his teaching experience and teaches a beginner class on Thursday evenings. He is a great inspiration to our younger students and older ones alike.
