Sifu Thomas Hulama

Wing Chun Instructor

Sifu Thomas Hulama is an assistant professor of the Hawaii Wing Chun Association system — a methodology rooted in the Ip Man lineage and co-founded by Robert Yeung that prioritizes sensitivity over brute force. His training spans two traditional weapon systems, the six-and-a-half-point pole and the double butterfly swords, alongside the 108 movements of the wooden-man set. As a Wing Chun affiliate of Iron Kingz, he brings this knowledge into mixed martial arts, Ready Labs, Krav Maga, and executive-protection training — reflecting Iron Kingz’s commitment to excellence. He also owns My Massage 808 LLC.
