Master Squatrito began his martial arts journey in Oakland, NJ where growing up he learned traditional karate and rose to the black belt level.  In the 1980's he relocated to Richmond, Virginia to attend medical school.  While in Richmond he began teaching karate and soon one of his students told him about a local martial artist, Moy Tung, who taught a kung fu style called Ving Tsun.  Master Squatrito decided to meet this Ving Tsun instructor and had the opportunity to "touch hands" with Moy Tung.  Master Squatrito immediately felt the effectiveness of Ving Tsun and began training it that day.  He suggested his other karate students follow him to Ving Tsun.  As a sign of his devotion the art, he burned his old black belt and became a member of Moy Tung's MY3 association of students dedicated to the art and education of Ving Tsun.

Master Squatrito trained hard while in Richmond and became one of Moy Tung's top students.  His sifu introduced him to Grandmaster Moy Yat, and Master Squatrito became a member of Moy Yat's GSS Grand Special Student association. Under the guidance of his sifu, Master Squatrito spent time training and living the kung fu life with Grandmaster Moy Yat.  Eventually, Master Squatrito was given the Chinese name Moy Yat Tung.

Master Squatrito's medical career took him to the Univeristy of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, Iowa to pursue a fellowship in oncology in 1992.  While in Iowa, he began teaching the Moy Yat system of Ving Tsun and quickly established a dedicated group of students. Soon thereafter, he founded the Moy Yat Kung Fu Academy of Iowa City on South Dubuque Street, in June of 1993.

In 1995, Master Squatrito moved to Burlington, Vermont where he trained a small group of students and continued to oversee training in Iowa City.  Shortly thereafter, Squatrito settled in Virginia Beach, VA where he is a partner at Virginia Oncology Associates.  In 2001 he opened Virginia Beach Kung Fu and continues to instruct there along with his wife, Sifu Jennifer Squatrito. Master Squatrito's dedication to the art of Moy Yat Ving Tsun kung fu can be seen in the students he trains.  His students oversee Ving Tsun schools around the country and continue to study the finer details of Ving Tsun under their highly respected Sifu, Moy Yat Tung.
