Personal Background:
Joining the Goju-ryu Karate-do Kenpo Seibukan Association at the start of high school, Garry developed a huge interest in martial arts in spite of having joined the club due to a requirement of the school for every student to participate in at least 1 extra-curriculur activity. He obtained his 3rd Dan in Goju-ryu Karate-do in 2007, and has actively instructed since 2003 till 2007. He has gained some slight exposure to wushu and taekwondo, mostly through crash courses and discussions with friends who practise the disciplines. Garry continuously trains in Karate, using it as his fundamental discipline, to further progress in action performance. He now focuses in developing his style towards speed and intensity.

Aspirations:
Garry wishes to entertain family and friends by making quality action sequences. He has gotten slight exposure in the movie making and stunt industry. Ultimately, it is expanding his network and making friends that matters most to him.

Note: Self praise is no praise. Thank you Garry for not praising yourself while writing his own profile, haha!
