Click to Enlarge

The Luohan Wushu Kungfu Thanksgiving Celebration is scheduled for Saturday, November 14th, 2015, 2:30-4:30 PM. It will be located at the old jewerly store in the Fontana Shopping Center (see map at right).

Students and demonstrators should arrive at 2:00 PM, parents and friends by 2:30 PM.

This event is a potluck, so bring your favorite covered dish. Also, seating limited, so please bring chairs if you have them.

This is a time for our Wushu family to enjoy each other’s company and be thankful for another great year. We will have demonstrations from many students showcasing several various styles of martial arts learned at the school. We’d also like to ask that all parents and friends who are not demonstrating remain in the audience until the demonstration is complete, as it will be very crowded and we need to keep the demonstration organized.

Remember to cheer our students as they show their skills and amazing progress from the past year! Their demonstration will be all the stronger for shouts of encouragement and “Jiayou!” from their friends and family!

There will be a table where you may drop off your covered dish. We hope that everyone enjoys this time to visit, eat, and grow closer with each other in our Wushu family.

RIP, Master Yu Chenghui

Master Yu Chenghui

Famous Wushu player and Chinese film actor Yu Chenghui passed away today . Such a great loss to the martial arts community. His contributions to Wushu will forever be remembered.

Yu Chenghui was born in shandong province in 1939. He was best known for his work in reviving shuang shuo jian (2 handed straight sword) and well known Tanglang Quan (mantis fist) player. He was a member of the Shandong professional Wushu team and won many national and international awards, particularly in jianshu and zuijian shu.

He was an actor in many Wushu and wuxia films, including “shaolin temple”, with Jet Li, as well as many others, being actor and action coreographer and director in many famous films.

Master Yu was a great inspiration to our sifu, Luo Minghan, and longtime friend of our sigung. His loss to the martial arts community is profound, but his inspiration and legacy will live on.

RIP Yu Chenghui, aged 76.
