Born in Germany in 1965, Talib was first introduced to the martial arts at the tender age of 6, when his father tried to channel his lively boy and proceeded to enrol him at a local Judo club. This was the beginning of a lasting love affair with the fighting arts that has endured until today. Over the years Sifu Talib has managed to accumulate a vast array of experience and belts in many different martial arts styles, ranging from Judo to Karate, Jiu Jitsu (traditional as well as Brazilian), Kick Boxing, Aikido, Western Boxing, Tai Chi (Chen Style), Chi Gung, Escrima and Escrima Concepts and Wing Tsun Kung Fu.

Sifu Talib was a student of Sifu Nick Smart for 9 years, who in turn was a direct student of GM Leung Ting.

He has been teaching martial arts and self defence skills since 1993. In a life time effort to keep his teaching practical and relevant he has devised his own method he calls "Dynamic Wing Tsun Kung Fu". As the name suggests it is broadly based on Wing Tsun, but incorporates and integrates his vast experience as well as ideas of other fighting disciplines, especially when it comes to WT weapons.

Sifu Talib has been training three to four times a month with EC instructors for three years to train in Escrima Concepts and now holds regular classes and EC seminars in Norwich.
