Celebrated my birthday with Sifu Yiannos Christoforou and the Cyprus crew this year. We had a fantastic time together, training and sharing good times again. You can see all of the highlights from Cyprus here.

From there, it was off to Athens to see Sifu Panagiotis Brebos and our brothers and sisters in Greece. Despite losing my voice en route from Cyprus to Greece, I got it back in time to enjoy some good times with our Spartan mates. The Greek martial arts magazine, Mavri Zoni (Black Belt) even stopped by to interview me and did some photos for an upcoming article in their mag. When it appears, we’ll let you know. In the meantime, you can see some highlights from Greece – check them out here.

And to wrap it all up, I finished with a long overdue visit to dear friend, Sifu Mirco Zago and the gang in Venice. Although I hadn’t seen them in over two years, it didn’t take long to catch him/them up on what’s been happening and we shared some great training in the Canal City – see it here.

Thanks to all of our fantastic European brothers and sisters for their hospitality and their dedication. Train hard and keep the standard high!

Gong Xi Fa Cai – Happy Chinese New Year to all our friends and supporters worldwide!!!

Sifu Dana Wong and all at the Qian Li Dao Academy want to wish you good health and much happiness as we celebrate the Year of the Wooden Horse in the Chinese lunar calendar.

The Wooden Horse year should have high energy and productivity will be rewarded. Decisive actions will lead to victory. (So that means get into class and get training!!!) Horse years are often known for unexpected adventure, fast victories and surprising romances.  For those of you caught up in horoscopes, click here for more of what’s in store in this Year of the Horse.

All of us here at the Academy thank you again for your support in the past, and want to wish you all good health, success in your life goals, prosperity for your efforts and happiness no matter what!

Xin Nian Kuai Le – Happy New Year!!!
