Wing Chun Kung Fu Master Alan Goldberg, is a WorldBlackBelt.com Founding Member.
So far Master Goldberg has his extraordinary dojo in the heart of Brooklyn, New York.
“I am particular with who I train because my students become part of our very close
family,” explained Goldberg. “I have had opportunities to expand, but I am really
not interested in having a large school because it loses some of the tradition.”
Included in Goldberg’s select circle of students are notable celebrities such as
actor Joe Piscopo, who co-starred with WorldBlackBelt’ First Founding Member Chuck
Norris in Sidekicks, former heavyweight fighter Dimitrius “Oaktree” Edwards, who
broke Mike Tyson’s ribs in a sparring session just prior to the former champion’s
first fight against Evander Holyfield, and Dr. Richard Pearl, who was recognized
by Newsweek Magazine as one of the top orthopedic surgeons in the United States.
Training
with Master Goldberg is not like attending your ordinary Martial Arts class. “My
students take an average of three classes per week and each class runs at least three
hours,” Goldberg explained. Despite these intensely rigorous workouts in this combat
style, Master Goldberg’s students remain loyal.
The dedication that Master Goldberg
has instilled in his students has derived from his own personal devotion to his Martial
Art. At the age of 24, Alan Goldberg was the first person to actually go and live
inside a Shaolin Wing Chun Temple. “I lived there for five years and I would have
stayed longer, but I got married and my wife didn’t think that would work too well,”
joked Goldberg. “I was inspired by David Carradine and his Kung Fu television series
show and I saw living in this Temple as my calling.” “It was quite an experience,
we would train around the clock, sometimes I would get a knock on my door at 4:00
a.m. and it was time to train.”
Outside of his school, Master Goldberg may be better
known as Martial Arts Entrepreneur, as he is the publisher of Action Martial Arts
Magazine, one of the most widely read Martial Arts magazines in the country, creator
of the very popular Action Martial Arts Trading Cards, Television and Movie Producer
and the host and promoter of Action Martial Arts Conference and Hall of Honor Awards
Dinner.
Master Alan Goldberg can barely contain his excitement when discussing the upcoming
Conference & Hall of Honor Dinner. The Event offers 24 Seminars from some of this
industries most well known artists and vendor’s booths for your enjoyment.”
