In 2006, I was fortunate enough to become the CEO of the Masters Hall of Fame and along with a great staff, expanded the focus and operations to include the recognition of exceptional Martial Arts Leaders and Legends through Induction into the Masters Hall of Fame. Our last three events have sold out. This signifies the level of exceptional martial artists and community leaders that we seek to serve and honor. As CEO, I am always looking for a way to expand our services to the martial arts community. Two years ago, the Masters Hall of Fame partnered with Disney and held our banquets in conjunction with the Disneyland Martial Arts Festival. Now comes a new foray to help us serve you…The Masters Hall Of Fame Martial Arts Magazine! Now you can keep us abreast of what is going on in your community. You don’t have to be a martial arts celebrity to have your article published or even appear on the cover. This magazine is all about you, the Masters Hall of Fame Alumni and the Martial Arts community! If you have any ideas or suggestions to make our magazine better, I’d love to hear from you! Please send drop me an email and let me know how we are doing. Enjoy our premiere issue and I hope to see you at the Masters Hall of Fame 2011 to celebrate our twelfth anniversary!

    December 2010 – Volume 2, Issue 12 THE DRAGON’S LAIR NEWSLETTER OF THE IRON DRAGON KUNG FU AND KICKBOXING CLUB 91 STATION STREET, UNIT 8, AJAX, ONTARIO L1S 3H2 “IRON SPIRIT, IRON WILLPOWER, IRON BODY ” December 2010 VOLUME 2, ISSUE 12 (905) 427-7370 / [email protected] / www.iron-dragon.ca COMMENTARY I can’t believe 2 years have gone by since I started writing this monthly newsletter. This is the last issue of Volume #2!! Two years of newsletters and I still find it relatively easy to come up with story ideas. Such is the scope of our amazing martial art – HUNG GAR KUNG FU AND KICKBOXING! Just when I think I’ve covered everything…along comes something else! All this really comes as no surprise considering that Kung Fu has been practiced since 527 AD! Just think about that for a moment. How many other sports or recreational pursuits have been practiced and continually refined for a period of over 1,500 years? I’m thrilled to be able to introduce a whole new generation of Kung Fu students to the storied legends, histories and traditions of our ancient art through the publication of this newsletter! It is my hope that you will continue to enjoy reading “The Dragon’s Lair” as much as I enjoy preparing it for you every month! See you next year for volume #3! Enjoy! Karl, Sifu December 2010, Volume 2, Issue 12 2 Legendary Kickboxing Fights Benny Urquidez vs. Narong Noi Up until the early 1970’s, North American martial artists had little competitive outlets besides the traditional non-contact, point style Karate and Taekwondo tournaments.
