Toren D. Velez
I’m a Marine Veteran, a father, a cook, a writer, performer and last but not least, a proud and passionate Martial Artist.

​

I Currently reside in Ocala, Florida. I'm a student of the 

Wing Chun Kali System, a martial art that I've been a practitioner and student of since 2012 - 13 years now, under the tutelage and teachings of Sifu Joseph Musse II.

​

To be honest, after leaving the military, I was on a mission — not just to stay sharp, but to evolve into a true combat arts instructor. I searched for the right martial art, something that matched my intensity, discipline, and mindset.

Then came Wing Chun. Introduced by a fellow Marine brother, sparked by late-night YouTube deep dives, and ignited by watching the legendary Ip Man movie — it clicked. The fire had already been there, though — from watching Bruce Lee classics with my dad to devouring every old-school Kung Fu film I could find. Wing Chun wasn’t just a choice — it was the natural next step in a journey that started long before I even realized it.

My relentless search for the art that would finally quench my thirst led me down an unexpected path — straight to my Sifu, through a YouTube video. I took a shot in the dark, fired off an email to the address listed, and that single moment changed everything. Today, I stand by his side — not just as a student, but as a disciple with a mission: to transform minds, impact lives, and unite people through the power of martial arts — one soul at a time.

​

I truly believe in and live by the motto Sifu Joseph Musse II has espoused and lives in his everyday life - "Change your mind Change your life!"
