Sifu Mynor Diaz initiated his formal training in traditional Chinese Martial Arts in 1998 under the guidance of Master Calvin Chin. During his teenage years, he assisted teaching Kung Fu classes. In his early twenties, as part of his Martial Arts training he started learning Tai Chi. In 2012, he was bestowed the rank of Sifu by Master Chin, to preserve and promote the virtues of traditional Chinese martial arts through the Fu Hok Tai He Morn System of training.

Mynor had an opportunity to develop a Tai Chi program for the VA Boston Healthcare System and, for 3 years, taught Tai Chi and adaptive Tai Chi classes in five locations (Brockton, Causeway, Jamaica Plain, Lowell, and West Roxbury). With the pandemic, the VA chose to move its wellness offerings to a virtual platform.

Back at CCMAA, Mynor is now the primary instructor for our youngest Intro Kung Fu students. In addition, he assists with Tai Chi classes and teaches Tai Chi on site at senior centers or senior living facilities in Lincoln, Concord, Walpole and Norwood. He has also started teaching Kung Fu to youth on site at a school in Chestnut Hill.
