2011 - A new year with new resolutions. As the Chinese New Year is upon us, we are reminded of the many blessings most of us received in the past year, in particular, good health.

I want to congratulate and thank the kung fu students who took part in November, 2010 in the charitable Tempt One Martial Arts Tournament to benefit individuals with lou gehrig's disease sponsored by East Wind Youth Foundation, L.A. Chinatown, which was a tremendous success. I urge all students to be more diligent in their pursuit to achieve the best they can be in martial arts training and in their personal lives.

We have numerous lion dance performance scheduled for the next few weeks. Please review the schedule posted to your emails and hopefully all students will be able to participate and enjoy the festive season.

As we move forward in the new year, we pray for world peace and harmony. On a personal level, I wish all of you success in all your endeavors. Much blessings to all of you in whatever you do. Most importantly, stay healthy and happy, take care of yourself and your loved ones.

It’s been quite a while since our last update on this site. Hope this note finds all of you well.

Our organization has gone through some transformation as usual, with high school students moving on to college and others moving on with their lives to new challenges and relocations. In particular, we have been blessed with having Michelle Lu (with us for 8 years) and Amy Nguyen (2 years) being an integral part of our kung fu family. They are major players in our lion dance activities.

In September, 2009, Michelle will start college in pre-pharmacy studies at Colgate University in New York while Amy will get a full scholarship ride to University of California, San Diego in a pre-med. program. We are very proud of their accomplishments.

We will be moving to a bigger new location on August 23, 2009, with 2500 square feet of floor space and 16 feet high ceiling. It will be ideal for weapons training and lion dance practices.

Until our next update, take care of yourself and your loved ones.
