Check schedual for available training times!!

zkell99 — Thu, 10/08/2009 - 23:53

Hello all,

 

Thank you for bearing with me through my turbulent times.  Currently the monday and tuesday classes at three kings are back in regular rotation.  you can find me there from noon - 1:30pm on mondays and tuesdays.  I am also posting a schedual of available time slots for "private" or "simi-private" sessions.  The cost of these sessions will be on a sliding scale and i'm more than willing to travel if it's convinenet and also have space at my home in parkslope on the F or G trains.  the additional time slots can be reserved via email or phone.  Hope all is well.  My thoughts are with matt currently as he is battleing liver failure currently.  We hope to see him in class again soon.  Congratulations to Jorge on passing his 4th and 5th student level tests.  There promises to be much chi-sau in our future classes!!!!

Upcoming Demonstration at McCarren Park!!

zkell99 — Sun, 07/26/2009 - 18:22

Hello every one,

 

So the next two weeks will be big ones as me and Si-Hing Brandon Bonner will be giving a Wing Tzun demonstration in McCarren Park!

If any students of the EBMAS would like to perform or help out in any way please email me and let me know!

 

Here are the details for the event we will be performing at:

 

Live music for silent Kung Fu Film event
"Red Heroine" with score by Devil Music Ensemble

Sunday August 9th 8:30pm tix: 9$
Outdoors at Automotive High School
50 Bedford Ave. Brooklyn NY


presented by Rooftop Films

www.rooftopfilms.com

The Devil Music Ensemble (www.devilmusic.org) is performing
an original score to Red Heroine (Shanghai 1929), the only
remaining feature length Chinese martial arts film from the silent
era that still exists in its entirety! The score created by the DME
is the only modern score to be written specifically for this film!
The DME is three multi-instrumental musicians from Boston that
have been making their name with live original score performances
to classic silent film. Over 7 U.S. and 2 European tours, the DME
have established themselves as one of the primary American
groups in this field and are capable of tightly synced genre
bending hypnotic musical performances that can make an
audience forget that there is a live band directing the mood,
emotion, and pace of the visual imagery they are immersed in.

The Film:
Episode six of RED HEROINE (a.k.a. RED KNIGHT-ERRANT), the only
surviving episode of the 13-part serial, is also one of the few complete and
earliest extant silent martial arts films. Made at the height of the martial arts
craze in 1920s Shanghai, this lively tale about the rise of a woman warrior
features the genre’s then-characteristic blend of pulp and mystical derring-do. A rampaging army raids a village and kidnaps a maiden, causing the death of the young woman’s grandmother. At the general’s
lair, the captive maiden faces imminent rape, but is lo and behold
rescued by the mysterious Daoist hermit, White Monkey. Three years
later, Yun Mei (“Yun Ko” in the English intertitles) reemerges as a
full-fledged warrior, ready to deploy the magic powers learnt from
White Monkey to avenge her grandmother’s death.
-Cheng-Sim Lim of the UCLA film and television archive.

In the event of rain, the program will be moved inside
the auditorium of Automotive High School
