Retirement
Seet Chor Thong
The time has come to move on to other things. Yes, I am retiring at the end of September 2024. After a short vacation, I will be dedicating my time to my family. After 50 enjoyable years of serving the Martial Arts scene, it is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement from active training. Although I will not be accepting new task any longer, I will still be helping out at our Club. It is with some regret, yet anticipation, that I announce my retirement, effective October 31st. I will miss the warm associations I have made here in Siegerland, but I look forward to helping my son, Dennis in his role as Chief Instructor at Nia Kwang Ying Yong Tang.
Dennis has been involved in Martial Arts since young. He studies Zhou Jia Quan with me since he was 9 years old. The greatest impression for Dennis was when Grandmaster Zhou Jinbo from Jiujiang, China presented his jade dragon pendant to him during his stay in Siegen in year 2000. Dennis has been building up his own martial network in Asia, America and Northern Africa since 2011 and has been invited to several overseas events. He was and is involved in numerous martial arts lessons, exchanges and activities over the past several years and is looking forward to further deepen his knowledge in traditional Kung Fu and to promoting Nia Kwang’s legacy. Besides Chinese Boxing, Dennis also leads the Lion Dance Troupe.
I put great faith in Dennis leadership and thank all friends and supporters to further support us in our endeavour to contribute our service to the community.
