5TH DEGREE BLACK BELT

Mr. Shervin Ilbeig’s history in martial arts and fitness started when he was around 3 years old. Young Mr. Shervin would imitate Bruce Lee’s martial art fitness moves and sounds. When he was 14 years old his older brother Joubin took him to a Kung Fu studio in Santa Monica off the 405 freeway. Mr. Shervin felt right at home! He studied the basics of Kung Fu for a year and he was forced to stop going because of the move his family had to make to the San Fernando Valley. In 1991 Mr. Shervin was then introduced to the art of Hapkido at Team Karate Centers. Mr. Fariborz Azhakh was one of Mr. Shervin’s first instructors and taught Mr. Shervin a lot about life!
