The August edition of Blitz martial arts magazine features a great writeup about Master James.

The article, by Chelsea Attard, covers Master James' background, his training under Grandmaster Chee Kim Thong, and some of the more recent success stories from the 2010 China trip.

There are some great photos in the article, and senior instructor, Michael "Muscles" Fong, is also pictured demonstrating the strength of his stance (on one leg!) against a taekwondo beefcake.

Everybody's favourite dentist and Friday night kung fu instructor, Michael Fong has been featured in the Hills Shire Times. Hills Shire Times' reporter, Brian Karlovsky, interviewed Michael following his recent return from the International Shaolin Wuzuquan Federation competition in Quanzhou, China.
