Aidan Lee Wins Grand Prize from Open House!

Congratulations Aidan Lee, for winning the Grand Prize at our Open House last month! Jun Chong Martial Arts held their first Open House event that invited all new friends and family to try free martial arts classes and stay for the festivities afterward. This included a bounce house for the kids, free sno-cones and fresh popcorn, and free massages offered by City Sports Health Center in Los Angeles. The KogiBBQ truck, famous for their kimchi tacos and other Asian-Latino fusion delicacies, came over for the lunch hour.

The Grand Prize of choice was awarded to a student who brought the most friends to Open House, and as the winner, Aidan chose the Mongoose Kapow 16" Boys Bicycle! He was very excited to receive his prize and couldn't stop smiling!

Jun Chong Martial Arts is everywhere!!! Master Luis Ucelo (seated in center) trained in Los Angeles with Master Chong before heading back to Guatemala, where he began his own school under the Jun Chong system. His school has grown exponentially and now he and his son Luis own additional schools in Arizona.

Fun Foto of the Week!

Here is a classic picture of Master Chong with Sensei Suzuki, circa 1979. While Master Chong was making a movie in Kyoto, Japan, he trained at this dojo for about 2 months. Master Chong remembers being very impressed by Sensei Suzuki's school, it was the largest he'd ever seen. It was 3 stories high: the first floor taught Judo, the 2nd floor was for Aikido, and the top floor was for Karate and Kendo.
Sensei was also a very good Karaoke singer.
