Sifu Rick Cropper is the finest kind of martial arts teacher you can have. I too am a Sifu, and even though I teach a different art than Sifu Rick Cropper I have learned many important skills from him. He is kind, energetic and always taking the higher road. His martial arts knowledge and skill is so vast and so impressive his resume would intimidate most. But the truth is nobody is intimidated by Sifu Rick because of his class and his character. Sifu Rick Cropper is who I want to more like as a martial artist and a person. He is a invaluable asset to the martial arts community. We in The Pacific Northwest are lucky to have him.

Hey Sifu Cropper,
I'm loving that form your teaching me! Thanks for the great instruction, your attention to detail in forms is amazing. I've been wanting to learn more soft style forms for a long time, so thank you for this opportunity, I couldn't ask for a better teacher!

Hey, this is one of Rick Cropper's students in his children's class. Rick (Sifu is what we call him) is a wonderful teacher and person.
If you want to learn a great martial art, join this class. You learn great fighting styles, great people, and you gain respect and knowledge. Where do you go wrong with that? Drop by, and you'll learn what Kajukenbo is all about.

We greatly appreciate the opportunity we were given to attend your demonstration of Kung Fu last Saturday evening. Your art is very beautiful to see, as well as impressive in strength and agility.
Your students and other guests were very courteous to us. This courtesy- to one another, as well as to guests - is a wonderfull thing to see. It is one of the reasons we are so pleased that our grandsons, Christopher and Jason McAnally, receive instruction from you.
We are proud of our daughter, Mary's accomplishment. We know the study of this discipline and the fellowship within the group has enriched her personal life and the life of her family.
Thanks you for sharing with us the fruits of you Kung Fu.
Sincerely,
Lawrence O & Beth Johnson
