Victory Martial Arts Opens in Walla Walla
By the little dojo | May 8, 2008
I have after 15 years of teaching in Walla Walla culminating with over 3 years at Walla Walla’s Premier Martial Arts decided to close. Premier Martial Arts Walla Walla closed its doors May 1st and Victory Martial Arts Opened. Victory Martial Arts is the newest member of the International Fook Yueng Chuan Association. Teaching at Victory Martial Arts will be Instructors Scott Barnett, Joshua Conely, Stacy Conely and other members of the Victory Martial Arts Leadership Team. Victory Martial Arts has become licenced as an International Fook Yueng Chuan Association School and will continue to Certify Students in that organization.
Victory Martial Arts will also be offering: Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Aikijutsu, Fook Yueng Chuan, Preying Mantis Kung Fu, I Chuan, Hsing I, Mixed Martial Arts, Personal Security Training, After School and Summer Camp progams and more. I am pleased to see the movement, it is an improvement.
I will be working full time in the International Fook Yueng Chuan Association, helping member schools with Curriculum Development, Instructor Training, and Seminars around the world. It is time that people see the power simplicity and grace of Fook Yueng Chuan.

Pierre,
Thank You! I am looking forward to seeing you and your students too.
Thank you for your Friendship and support over the last 10+ years.
For people who do not know Pierre yet: Pierre has been teaching Non Classical Gung Fu in Switzerland for many years and has been inviting Jesse Glover to Geneve for over 11 years along with Sonny Umpad. Pierre for years has come to the United States to train with Sonny Umpad, Jesse Glover, Ed Hart and others. It has been great to have Pierre a part of the International Fook Yueng Chuan Association for over 10 years, teaching and being the first person to bring Fook Yueng Chuan to Europe. Pierre is a very gifted fighter, and an excellent instructor which is proved out by watching his students work out.
