In the meantime, a new edition of his book The Tiger/Crane Form of Hung Gar Kung Fu is available in our online store!
Hector Echavarria, aka “El Justiciero,” arrived behind big, dark Hollywood shades, a black sport suit and a shirt with the blue and white colors of his native Argentina to discuss some top-secret projects with Black Belt’s top brass. Expect some fantastic announcements in the near future that could change your life! in the meantime, you can check out his Black Belt kickboxing DVDs in our online store!
Sgt. Jim Wagner came in under the radar for a cover shoot. It isn’t easy to pin down a man who instructs military special operatives and anti-terror squads around the world, but the cover of Black Belt has special magnetic powers. Watch for him on the front of the upcoming February 2008 issue. See exclusive behind-the-scenes photos here!
Gokor Chivichyan took some time off his busy teaching and travel schedule to talk about his new school in North Hollywood, California, his worldwide influence and why his son would rather be a doctor than a mixed martial artist. He’ll be teaching his sambo techniques in the upcoming February 2008 issue. Watch Gokor in action by clicking here!
Richard Ryan and Walt Lysak stopped by for a double-feature shoot. Ryan showed off a new tactical folding knife of his own design, based on the features of animal claws and talons. A limited-edition early version costs about $250, but there’s another series coming soon that should be much easier on your wallet. |
