James Lew started his training while in Junior High. He began with Korean Karate, but soon moved to Kung Fu. His styles were 'White Lotus', '5 Animals' and 'Chow Lay Fut'. He gained his black belt in 1972, and now has over 25 years of experience. He learned many other styles incorporated for his movie work. He's also known for being a nationally ranked Forms Champion.
He performed katas as a student to promote his dojo. Slowly, having his own styles, he became known, and entered Hollywood. He became a popular 'bad-guy', and is now a famous stuntman and choreographer. He also produces movies.
