Shifu Byron Spivey

Shifu Byron Denard Spivey began his training at age six in 1994 under Fundi Yusef at the Dennis Brown Shaolin Wushu Academy in Mitchellville, Maryland.

He quickly distinguished himself at a young age as a very talented and dedicated student.

He followed Fundi Yusef to Full Circle Martial Arts where he received his Black Belt in 1997.

Shifu Denard as he is commonly called, became the poster boy for martial arts excellence. His technique and performances are legendary in tournament circles. During the mid 90's he acquired too numerous trophies and championships to name here.

The early 2000's saw him continue his tournament reign taking numerous gold and silver medals in fighting and weapons. His accomplishments include victories at the U.S. Capitol Classics, Martial Art Olympics, International Wu-shu Games, and the International Martial Arts Championship. He won two silver medals at the 13th Annual UC Berkely Chinese Martial Arts Tournament.

He currently works in three different capacities as he continues his training. He is Counselor for our After School Program. He is Assistant Instructor for our evening Shaolin Kung-fu program. He is also a Regional Coach for the AAU Chinese Martial Arts program.

Shifu Denard also initiated the School of Martial Science & Fitness Entrepreneurial Education Program where he excels as the next young leader destined to expand the organization's business success.
