ALAN GOLDBERG
Below find out more about the founder of the Largest Grass Roots Martial Arts Magazine "Action Martial Arts Magazine" and the founder of the largest martial arts expo in the world "The Mega Martial Arts Expo". He sits on the board of many prestigious organizations, one being the "Martial Arts History Museum" Like the U.S. Marines, Wing Chun Kung Fu Master
Alan
Goldberg, a WorldBlackBelt Founding Member, is just
looking for a few good students. So far Goldberg has only found about 50
Martial Artists who have shown him enough of the right stuff in terms of
attitude and dedication to be invited into 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. The dedication that Goldberg has instilled in his
students today is derived from his own personal devotion to his Martial
Art. At the age of 24, 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.” Goldberg can barely contain his excitement when
discussing the
upcoming Conference
& Hall of Fame Dinner. “With hardly any advertising we drew over
1,000 people to our trade show this past year,” said Goldberg. “Next
year with WorldBlackBelt we are going all out by holding the event in a
27,000 square foot convention center, offering 24 seminars and more than
100 vendor’s booths.”
