Shrfu Yi Biao, (Master Three Knifed Tiger) Joey Haber: is the lead instructor at The Flying Tortoise Academy. First exposed to martial arts in 1988 he began teaching in 1999. In the years since he has taught at over a dozen sites including the world renowned Inosanto Academy in Marina Del Rey. His studies have taken him to China, Brazil, California, Japan and Hawaii. His enthusiasm for training opened the doors for both he and Fritz to gain entry to Beijing's Temple of Heaven in 2013 as well as multiple situations that good sense would dictate be avoided. Joey has focused his efforts in Beijing on Baguazhang, Taijiquan, Xingyiquan, Sanhuangpaochuiquan and Sanda. Joey maintains a close relationship with Oahu based Capoeira Mestre Kinha and holds the rank of Professor. Joey focuses his work at Flying Tortoise on maintaining an authentic Beijing curriculum that is inclusive and supportive of the studio's diverse student base.
