Golden Harmony Kung Fu, Virginia
Blog #1 - Sifu Gordon Wicks
The open road, the sun rising behind us, stretched south west before us.
Brian Montgomery (5
th year student) and I drove towards what would be an exceptional weekend of martial arts unity, history and training.
The International Association of Independent Karate Schools of America held their
16th Annual Training Seminar in Franklin, Tennessee. With
Honoured Guest Teacher Grand Master Rob Moses as the center focus of the event,
Golden Harmony was proud to be representing Kung Fu and our family.
The drive journey brought us through the southern Virginia, right into the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, Knoxville, the home of the Volunteers, and around Nashville, the music capital of the South. Franklin, Tennessee is a warm, small town outside of Nashville that has been ranked the #1 small town in America to live, three times in the last ten years! With perfect blue skies and a warm breeze, we were warmly greeted by
Master Fritz (United Martial Arts), our host,
Master Chapman,
Sensei Burk (Traditional American Karate and founder of IKSA) and our own
Grand Master Rob Moses (founder of Tai Shan Tong Long).
