Not All Practices Or Teachers Are The Same...

We are living in a remarkable time in history. Information has become easily accessible to billions of people worldwide. Anyone can say anything online. Unfortunately, that can make it very difficult to identify the quality of information provided. One can easily be misled into a pitfall and waste time, energy and money in the hands of a phony.

I believe it's the duty of the teacher and the right to the student to know where the knowledge is coming from. If you're looking for a tradition, the knowledge must have been transmitted in a traditional lineage from masters to students.

For generations, martial arts techniques and methods have been faithfully transmitted through the guidance of master teachers to ensure its correct preservation. The same is true of Grandma's prized cinnamon roll recipe - follow it correctly and the desired outcome is guaranteed!

My name is Master Roberto Baptista.

For over 40 years, I have been dedicated to safeguarding and expanding an unbroken legacy of Shaolin KungFu, Taichi, and Qigong that has spanned remarkably for many generations.

As a true inheritor, I am driven to preserve this ancient martial arts tradition that has been passed down to me through an authentic lineage. These customs are invaluable and have withstood the test of time, preserving part of China's beautiful and ancient culture.

But you don't need to go to China...

To ensure this ancient legacy of traditional Chinese martial arts continues, I am making all of my knowledge available to you through Kungfu Connection online and our supporting community.

"He Is The Real McCoy"

 

But I am certainly not the only one. There are several high qualified teachers still teaching around the world, and I am one amongst others teaching online. I say this humbly to protect you and to share the truth of my accomplishments. If you are looking for a qualified world level teacher, look no further. There is a reason that the United States recognized me as an "alien with extraordinary ability" and eventually granted me permanent resident status.

Beware of fakes...

 Be careful when someone claims to be the only inheritor of a large tradition or makes special or amazing claims of some esoteric knowledge. Also, a flashy display of a particular technique or demonstration does not guarantee the same outcome for all. Now, I will not doubt there are people who can achieve amazing feats.

The question is... can it be reproduced by anyone following a particular method or is it just the fruit of a natural gift that has been used to mislead people?

Real teachers who have been active for decades will be recognized by their peers as an authentic lineage holder, not merely by a flashy performance.

My Journey

In my journey so far, I have had to deal with the challenge of inward bowed legs during my youth in Brazil, which required me to wear braces to correct my posture. Despite being a happy kid, participating in sports with my friends became difficult after the braces were removed. At the age of eight, I made the decision to switch to practicing Judo, which I continued for eight years.

Later, I was introduced to Shaolin Kung Fu by a kind neighbor, and it soon became an important part of my life. The teachers I met through this authentic lineage not only helped me develop physical strength and the ability to defend myself, which was necessary given the reality of street violence where I grew up, but also instilled profound martial ethics in me. These values included respect for tradition, loyalty to others, honesty with oneself and others, compassion towards those in need, and adherence to the laws of heaven and man. These teachings have been integral to shaping my life and continue to provide me with a strong foundation.

I like training at Kung Fu Connection, it's great to have a real master teaching traditional Shaolin Kung Fu.

He is knowledgeable and nice and I am learning so much at the martial art school.

I like the traditional Chinese weapons they teach here.

Training sometimes is difficult... But it's also so rewarding!

So much to learn here, it has already improved my life in more ways that I can think!

Dian Farrington

My husband has Parkinson's disease and I searched for the number one exercise that would slow the process down. I found that Tai Chi is on the top of the list.

In Coral Springs, we were very lucky to find Sifu Roberto at Kung Fu Connection. He has been extremely patient with my husband (and I). We've seen great improvement in his balance, walking and centering.

Sifu Roberto not only worked with my husband, but also with me, so that during the week we could work on his problem areas at home.

But let me tell you, improvement will not happen by weekly visits alone. You must do the homework that Sifu Roberto prescribes! Do that, though, and you can expect results.

I would strongly recommend Sifu Roberto at Kung Fu Connection to any Parkinson person to help stabilize their disease.

It is with great pleasure  that I provide this testimonial regarding Sifu Roberto Baptista of the Kung Fu Connection.

 After taking a few falls my doctor recommended that I begin Tai  Chi. I was hesitant to start because I didn't see the connection between this martial art and my balance. I am  happy to say that since I have been practicing his program I have not fallen a single time.

Roberto is extremely knowledgeable and capable of understanding my needs and explains the connection and support behind it. His  motivation is contagious and I am so lucky to have found such an expert to teach me.  He is very special and makes the world a better place by sharing his passion, knowledge, and expertise.

Sifu Roberto is the REAL MCCOY! I met him in 2017 at my former KungFu school. As someone who values real tradition and deep knowledge and application, I knew right away that Sifu Beto was the teacher I was looking for. 

When I left town he offered to teach me remotely. I was concerned I wouldn't be able to learn as efficiently, however, he made it really simple and broke everything down so I could learn like I was going to his physical school in Coral Springs. 

Not only has he been pivotal in my learning, he has been a deep source of inspiration and encouragement with his wisdom and vitality, embracing his purpose to pass on the teachings from our long line of successors. Highly recommend! 

Eddie Sama

I have trained in a few different martial art styles on and off over the years and have always gravitated towards Kung fu.

Kung fu, in my opinion, is the most complete martial art system I have found over the years.

I cannot put into words how grateful I am to have found Sifu Roberto Baptista at Kung Fu Connection. In these days it is very difficult to find an authentic Traditional Kung fu School. However, with Sifu Roberto at Kung Fu Connection, you get a real traditional school with a Sifu that is a master at his art and is fully capable of easily transferring his 40 plus years of Kung Fu training to his students.

If you are in search of a real martial arts school with a family-centered environment where you can participate in rigorous training without feeling overwhelmed, intimidated, or stressed out, then Kung Fu Connection is for you!

Shawn Ben-Amran

I have been training traditional Kung Fu for several years with several very good teachers.

However I decided to give a try at the Kung Fu Connection with Sifu Roberto Baptista.

After I trained with him for awhile, I noticed, with great surprise, it had already changed my life in many ways.

And I also realized that it had changed my outlook on life...

I must say that I have developed more in a few months here at this Kung Fu school, than I have at other places in several years.

Please give it a try. The learning experience is truly priceless!

A Final Note...

I am determined to use the remainder of my life to create enough successors who will continue to uphold these traditions for many future generations. With our current technology, this is entirely possible! Unfortunately, countless customs have regrettably been forgotten due to a lack of heirs; however, I can guarantee that such an ending will not befall ours.
