Si Jieh Evita Bodine Si Jieh Evita's interest in the Martial Arts started when she was eight years old. She trained for a year at the Siamese Shaolin school with her father. After her father passed away, her training ceased, but her interest in wushu would continue to grow with her. She resumed her training at The Shaolin Wushu Kung Fu Institute under Sifu Dale in 2001. She dedicated most of her time to training and helping with the Fitness & Tai Chi programs. She became known for her persistance and dedication to the art, especially while she continued training throughout her 38 weeks of pregnancy in the Kung Fu, T'ai Chi and Fitness programs. Considering most of her training was with Sifu Dale during her time at the Shaolin Wushu Kung Fu Institute, there was no question that she would follow him when he opened The Chinese Martial Arts Center in Middletown, DE.
