The Golden Diet
There’s so much mixed advice regarding diets,what you should and shouldn’t eat, recommended daily allowance yarda yarda. The truth is… there’s no “Golden Diet” that suits everyone perfectly… however there’s some good advice and there’s some bad advice …. unfortunately quite a lot of the general advice is pretty poor. You may experience it yourself… you eat more or less what has been suggested but don’t see or feel the results… This Friday at the Kung Fu Schools HQ in Crawley, I have a Dr from China who will be explaining ancient Chinese methods and ideas for healthy living, in
SAS Secret
The SAS are renowned throughout the world as probably the most elite soldiers in the world (being from the UK of course I’d say they are the best).

Kung Fu training at 10,000 Buddha Monastery in Hong Kong
One of the most memorable of my training sessions during the last trip to Hong Kong was when GM Sergio Iadarola took Sifu Alan & myself to the 10,000 Buddha Monastery at Sha Tin. It’s a breathtaking Monastery which is only minutes from the hotel that I usually stay at – The Royal Park Hotel.. One of the gems of Hong Kong is the incredible diversity… literally minutes off the very busy streets are treasures just waiting to be explored and appreciated.
