Temple Kung Fu Master Robert Jones Promoted to 6th Degree Black Belt
Master Robert Jones has been promoted to 6th Degree Black Belt by Grand Master Simon on July 28th, 2004 at the Spokane Temple Kung Fu location.
(PRWEB) August 11, 2004 -- Grand Master Simon founded Temple Kung Fu studios
over forty years ago and has rarely promoted anyone beyond the Master Level. He
came to North America from Germany in the early 1960s and made a name for
himself in Martial Arts by demonstrating the art of Kung-Fu in the U.S. and in
Canada. Grand Master Simon was the first in Canada to promote a woman to the
level of Black Belt. He opened the first Temple Kung Fu Studio in Calgary, and
it is still open today.
Master Robert Jones, a long time student of Grand
Master Simon was promoted to 6th degree Black Belt on July 28th at a ceremony in
the Spokane location of Temple Kung Fu. Temple Kung Fu has relocated from
Seattle to Toronto.
There have only been a handful of people promoted to
the Master Level at Temple Kung Fu in the forty years it has existed. Being
promoted to this level is considered a great honor and Master Robert Jones has
also been inducted into the U.S. Martial Arts Hall of Fame this year. He moved
to the Seattle area to attend the University of Washington but decided to pursue
a career in the Martial Arts instead. He began training at Temple Kung Fu
studios over 15 years ago. Having studied Japanese styles previously he was
amazed at the Chinese temple kung-fu style. Impressed with the soft and the hard
combination - he soon was a follower, seeing the benefits he received from
training the art of Temple Kung Fu, he decided that he needed to share it and so
he became an instructor and has since dedicated his life to teaching the art of
Grand Master Simon.
