@ y-y-a.co.uk

20/02/07 - Look out for our two new sister sites being launched in March 2007! The first is for The Yum Yeurng Academy, our Coaching arm of the business, and the second is for our collaboration with Otto Madarasz, ‘Martial Heritage’, which will document that one day in history last year when twelve of the best Martial Artists’ in the Country taught together, in one place and for one time only...

05/05/06 - The day before SENi06 is known to all exhibitors as the ‘build day’. We were some of the unlucky ones traveling to Birmingham from London, and the traffic was bad. After arriving quite late in the day we were puzzled by a change in venue again, as everything was crammed into one space. A pretty big space in comparison to last year though, so it all wasn’t too bad! Seminar rooms, Workshop spaces, Stages, Cages, Rings and Matts! Everything and everyone is to be catered for this weekend. London needs and event like this, and the office awaits our return.

04/04/06 - Having now wound down from the dramatic week, things are slowly returning to normal at the office. With our sights now set firmly on Seni 06, it is all about to get a little bit more exciting. With our ever growing list of supporters, we can start a new financial year with a good heart. It’s not easy to make money through Martial Arts, and some would say it’s not right at all! What we ask our clients is this, where do you want to be next year? Seriously, if you’re serious about your Martial Art then call us or email today to see if we can help you with your own promotions and marketing. Maybe a Showreel is what you need? Or a Seminar? Whatever it is, look out for our upcoming online Portfolio to see how we’ve helped others like you...

07/03/06 - The time is near. The Tickets are FREE! The Event is set to re-light the interest in Chinese Martial Art, especially concerning the Wing Chun style! Marking the 50th Anniversary of this unique art arriving in the UK, our upcoming presentation at the British Museum hopes to unite practitioners in London for a historic information exchange. Grandmaster Lee Shing was a formidable artist and his students have been teaching in one way or another since his release of the first published works on the 108 Wooden Dummy Techniques, by student Joseph Cheng. It is a common fact that Wing Chun has continued to grow in Europe with promotions being led by Grandmaster Ip Man and his sons, Ip Chun and Ip Ching. However, the Wing Chun developments in London have been closely linked to the Lee Shing family, as it was this Grandmaster who introduced Ip Chun to England and influenced the art at the time. You are invited to attend and enjoy a casual evening in one of Londons most distinguished attractions, so please contact us to reserve your FREE tickets as places are limited.

18/02/06 - We must apologize first for a printing error in the China in London Guide supplement where it mentions our event at the British Museum is to be held on March 1st. This information is incorrect, and we are still in negotiations with The Museum, so please return to this site for updates. The editors did, however, like The Yum Yeurng Academy promotion and selected us as the ‘Workshop Choice’ for our Wing Chun Workshops at Barnet Burnt Oak Leisure Centre. After experiencing what we can only call a ‘restricted’ New Years Celebration, we are now in full swing of the year of the dog. A good time for Tigers and Rabbits we believe, so things should be cool for a few. On a more serious note, we have noticed that there has been a small Chinatown documentary on BBC2 lately, and eyes are now on the development of local facilities for Arts and Culture. Let us hope that this trend continues with the build up to Beijing 2008, and good luck to all our friends who are constantly preserving and we can’t wait to share more historic times in the near future... Look out for some unique events!

06/01/06 - During 2005, Barry & Spencer took YYA to a new level. It had always been difficult to decide exactly what services the company could offer, and who we were targeting. The answer to this is simple, innovative Consultancy and Digital Media services for everybody interested in working with us! In just one year we have helped to present 2 Seminars, produce challenging DVD documentaries, promote Martial Arts demonstrations and preserve our own way of teaching within The Academy. Obviously we do still enjoy gathering to train and learn, but what is our latest business venture? What is ‘Martial Heritage?’

“We describe ‘Martial Heritage’ to our clients as ‘Promoting The Martial Way’, by which we mean assisting you to promote your way of training and teaching through various means, such as Mobile Phone Technology or DVD Showreels. Once you join the Heritage, we embark on your promotions in the most professional manner. You will be invited to attend and demonstrate your martial art skills at Seminars and Events, and a special photo-shoot will be arranged to help with your marketing. Interviews are also recorded and we are always keen to present your thoughts online as an mp3 so you can spread the word internationally. All these little projects will be planned throughout a one year period, so not only do you get instant exposure, you are guaranteed a full years service! We will be pleased to work with any Martial Artist, from any background and we will also be continuing our relationships with kung fu family and practitioners who we have come to know. We thank all of you for your growing support and look forward to the springtime of 2006.”

The Year of The Rooster

12/12/05 - As the year draws to its close, Barry & Spencer wish you a very special Christmas and Prosperous New Year! Thank-you to everyone who has helped make 2005 a great year for Martial Arts and we look forward with anticipation for another storming year ahead. Many things happened in November, so check out The Academy for the latest BCCMA Competition report and please return to our Platinum Service as we have updated this section to include our latest partnership venture with Martial Promotions, now entitled ‘Martial Heritage’. The Launch Party was a huge success, with unique DVD presentations of the growing A-List of Martial Artists using Otto’s superb Mobile Phone Content services and all of these house-hold names roaming the distinctive ‘Budoir’ Bar in London. What a place to network! Talking of which, ‘Cage Rage 14’ was witnessed by us thanks to some VIP Tickets supplied by Otto. Yet again, the hospitality at Wembley Conference Centre on Saturday 3rd December was out of this World and the fights seen were awesome.

13/11/05 - A month of discussions and meetings has passed and we’re now looking forwards to the New Year, during which our concentration will be more towards the Chinese Martial Arts, and especially our own lineage. In March 2006 we will be hosting a presentation in conjunction with the Greater London Authority’s ‘China in London’ season which started with the opening of the ‘Three Emperors Exhibition’ at the National Gallery this week. The season in expected to run from January to April next year, and ‘The Yum Yeurng Academy’ will also be operating special ‘Workshops’ in Kung Fu for the duration. If you’re interested in ‘China in London’ we recommend a visit to the GLA website for more info...

18/10/2005 - Over a week late, but hello again to our regulars and welcome to our news update! If you’re a new user, please take the time to email us with your thoughts on our site and become an online member. October has already started well, with ‘The Academy’ returning to training and our Directors meeting with their teacher for the first time in a while to discuss some projects for the New Year. With events on the horizon and some truly excellent promotional opportunities in the pipeline you are sure to hear the thunders of change. Most people are aware of our History, and it is becoming ever-more important for us to complete our own personal journey within the Martial Arts. With the Company in more demand during the Chinese New Year season, we will all soon have to take a holiday! Where else for us to wander, but China itself! Yes, it’s true, next year is the time for travel and we will be working closely with our Links to offer great discounts on group holidays for anyone who is willing to put up with us for two weeks! Seriously though, would you like to ‘Journey To The East’ with us? Keep returning for the latest developments...

25/09/2005 - A fantastic time was had by all the students of ‘The Yum Yeurng Academy’ at the BCCMA National Championships today! The day started well with a Dragon Dance performed by students of Nam Yang Pugilistic Association, and continued into the late evening with a packed schedule including Traditional Chinese Martial Arts, Wushu and competitive Sanshou fighting. Barry was a judge in the first Traditional competition and styles seen included Eagle Claw, Iron Ox Praying Mantis, Wing Chun, Tiger & Crane, Northern Shaolin and Chinese Kuoshu. The Yum Yeurng Academy’s own Robert Tomlinson won Silver in the Southern Hand Form category with a steady display of Wing Chun’s First Form and Nam Yang snatched the Gold medal with seamless power in this excellent beginners section! Saam Wan Wing Chun was seen for the first time, also demonstrating the famous ‘Siu Lim Tao’, well done Vas! All thanks must go to Iain Armstrong and Robert Simpson for their dedication and management throughout the day as we all proved that now may be the time for the long awaited reunion of old masters, coaches and students who have been continually active in the UK Martial Arts arena for generations. If you are interested in future events like this we strongly recommend that you contact and support the BCCMA via The Links or come along to an Academy training session and enrol on a ‘Wing Chun Induction Course’.

09/09/2005 - Braulio Estima was joined by Roger Gracie on Sunday 2nd to teach and share knowledge of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with our astounded participants! Roger Gracie has recently appeared on the cover of Martial Arts Illustrated and his presence was welcomed by everyone, including Braulio who demonstrated everything on this formidable exponent. The pair moved with excellence and even had the time to share some techniques for us to publish online. Look out for Braulios profile and keep an eye on this unique character as we’re sure he will be around for some time to come. This month Barry and Spencer would like to invite any Traditional Chinese Martial Artist to attend or compete in the upcoming BCCMA National Championships in Milton Keynes on Sunday 25th. For the first time competitions will be held in ‘Traditional Form’, with categories for Northern, Southern and Internal disciplines. Fore more info check out The Academy News

26/08/05 - Only a week to go before Braulio presents his 4 hour BJJ Seminar at London’s Central YMCA! As we finalize all the arrangements, we would like to extend our thanks to the team at ‘Martial Arts Illustrated’ magazine for helping with our advertising. If you’re a reader, bring an August or September edition on the day for a £5 discount, or you can pre-book 2 for £60 before Friday 2nd. Finally, if your a film enthusiast, this has also been a good month so far with the release of Jet Li’s ‘Unleashed’. Why is it that Martial Arts is so common these days? If it isn’t a movie, it’s a new episode of the Power Rangers! Isn’t it about time a UK Production was made to profile the vast diversity of styles which have flourished here for an eternity... there’s and idea!

08/08/05 - A New Day, and a new section is now available online! Our Profiles area presents the people involved with YYA throughout the year. To benefit from this service, check out our Silver Consultancy package, as this months online profile is on Sifu Anton Thomas, dedicated Wing Chun practitioner and friend of the family. Another local Wing Chun Sifu, Mark Phillips, has also started teaching a famous musician and celebrity at his North London branch which is fantastic news for the style! With excellent films like ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ in the Cinemas, maybe now is the time for Martial Artists to stand together for the right reasons, and be sure that we continue with our studies in peace and with love to our diversity of students who continue to unite and train together no matter what distractions arrive from the outside world. Have a good month and remember to book your place at our ‘Braulio Estima Seminar’!

07/07/05 - A month of pure indulgence and Martial Arts! The Seminar with Neil Adams was a treasure for the participants, and a big thanks to the Demo Teams of Anton Thomas and Tony Marsh for two distinctive Wing Chun showcases. All eyes are now on Braulio Estima as we will be promoting our upcoming Seminar with this brilliant Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) exponent, and Gold Service User, online and in the media. Congratulations must also go out to the London Olympic Bid team, we welcome the 2012 Games to the capital! On a similar note, Barry And Spencer were recently invited to a gathering of Martial Arts talent to discuss the finer points of Traditional Chinese Martial Arts and its rightful place in Competition. With The Olympics in Beijing and Wushu playing a still undecided role, we a have to ask if there is a place for Traditional styles within modern Wushu, and if there is who is to judge the competitors and how do we train a judge? See how we certify students at The Yum Yeurng Academy...

06/06/05 - How time flies when you’re having fun! Only a month has passed since SENI05 and we are now well into our new promotions for the Summer. This month we are working with Otto Madarasz to bring you a cutting-edge Seminar presented by 2 times Olympic Silver Medalist, Neil Adams! If you would like a great day out in London, be sure to visit the Central YMCA on Sunday 26th and train with this amazing Martial Artist and philosopher...

11/05/05 - How could we not mention yet another Martial Arts inspired movie which is due for Worldwide release today! ‘Star Wars Episode 3’ will undoubtedly dominate the Cinemas for the next few months as we finally learn what sends Anakin to the Darkside and see Master Yoda in action once again! If you want to feel the force, and you live in the North London area, start a 4 week Induction Course in Kung Fu with The Yum Yeurng Academy...

09/05/05 - This month brings many changes for the website, so be sure to have a look at the new Seni05 Showreel and if you’re like us and love the movies, all eyes are on “Ong Bak”, the film being hailed as the ‘Enter The Dragon for a New Generation’.

27/04/05 - What a weekend! If you were one on the lucky hundreds who saw our presentation on the Lei Tai this year, or one of the many who we talked to over the two days, then we thank-you for your support at SENI05! The response from the shows organizers, Paul Alderson and Andrew Sheehan have been great, commenting that this was the best attended Senshow thus far! We believe that Seni will continue to grow, and we hope to continue to appear at the Birmingham NEC for as long as they will have us! Now if you want to get involved with our upcoming Demonstrations and Seminars, check out what’s on offer from the new YYA Ltd Martial Promotions Partnership...

20/04/05 - With only three days to go, all that’s left to say is “get to SENI05, and enjoy the show!”

04/04/05 - The time has come for the build-up to a fantastic event. Over the weekend of 23/24 April SENI’05 returns to the Birmingham NEC! If you are planning a visit this year be sure to come and see us at Stand 728, right next to the Lei Tai stage! Among our special guests demonstrating ‘live’ at Seni 05 are Pendekar Steve Benitez (Pencak Silat) Braulio Estima (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), Master Anton Van Thomas (Wing Chun) and the return of Sifu Tony Marsh & Sifu Tony Simon (SWWC)!!!

It hasn’t been an easy year for us, as trying to establish a business within the Martial Arts Industry has proved to be quite a challenge. It was our good friend Otto Madarasz who helped to inspire this project. Martial Promotions is a forum for traditional and progressive Martial Artists’ from around the World, and our common belief is that traditional practice is the cornerstone of the ‘Martial Way’, the primary source for history and information, and where the modern cross-art practitioner finds specialized study and training. Together, we offer our combined expertise to you over this amazing two-day exhibition by means of live demonstrations, cutting-edge seminars, specialist services and digital presentations.

03/03/05 - We were out and about in February, thanks to the lovely ladies at Revolver Communications! They approached us earlier in the month to see if we could find a Martial Artist to perform in Soho Square during the ‘Sharwoods’ Wok The City UK Tour! The day was a great opportunity to promote a Martial Artist, but it proved very difficult to find the right person. Our dreams were answered with the help of our friend Iain Armstrong, an admired Martial Artist who has always delivered the goods during the Chinese New Year celebrations in London. This year Nam Yang were on stage, live in front of many who gathered in Trafalgar Square during the day. Our thanks must go to the star of our own celebrations, James Cheung, who performed a series of empty-hand routines followed by a ‘Dai Dao’ Form. Commonly referred to as ‘The Big Knife’, it takes special training to wield one of these... Don’t try this in the kitchen!

02/02/05 - As you’re probably aware, Wednesday 9th February is Chinese New Years Day, so we at YYA wish you a Great Year of The Rooster! We are refining our Services to include exclusive ‘Gold’, ‘Silver’ & ‘Bronze’ packages, but if you want to go that extra mile to promote your activities, look out for our upcoming ‘Platinum’ service! For as little as £75 per year, you can now enjoy the benefits of our management expertise with up to 30% discounts, online membership, profiles, advertising and invitations to ‘Super Seminars’ presented by ‘Martial Promotions’. The Wing Chun & Kali Seminar presented by Sifu Tony Marsh and Antonio Faedda was an excellent experience for the few students who could attend. From training in ‘Sticky Hands’ to ‘Dagger Hands’, this unification was welcome and inspirational. We will be working with each other again, so look out for our new online profiles and keep returning for our monthly updates...

08/01/05 - A new year is in full flow, and we are delighted at YYA to be able to enter 2005 with great expectations. For the first time, we are promoting a Martial Arts Seminar in London, presented by our ‘Kung Fu Brother’ Sifu Tony Marsh and Antonio Faedda. Blending unique Wing Chun skills with Kali, these awesome practitioners have a studious history in Martial Arts. Anybody is welcome on the 29th January as the Seminar is set to include Knife Defence, Wooden Dummy Drilling and much more over the four hour session!

On another note, we will be attending Seni 05 in April and are looking for interested groups or individuals who would like to promote their Martial Arts on our stand. With more space (14sqm!) and a change in design, see if we can help you with our new Consultancy Packages...

We believe that the Martial Artists’ throughout the UK will now benefit tremendously by working with each other as good sportsmen and women by supporting London 2012. As a sport the Martial Arts enters the competitive arena, and the exposure from such a spectacular event as The Olympic Games will shine a light on us all for years to come...

We did it! London 2012 is real.... British Council for Chinese Martial Arts
The Yum Yeurng Academy NEW Course

24/12/04 - Having been researching the internet since our online launch back in May 2003, we have been astounded by the sheer volume of information about the Martial Arts available to the Web Community. What is more interesting though, is the strength of Cultural Education in Martial Arts. Surely, we have been missing the point if all we want to do is learn a little self defence! The Chinese Martial Artists’ in the UK have a great passion for their arts, and they hold on to their history through stories and folklore that have inspired a generation of Martial Arts Movies and shaped the modern interpretation of a culture long lost in the Far East. It is the UK, we believe, which has a very unique part to play in the future of Chinese Martial Arts, so enjoy the festive season and get ready for a great 2005...

27/11/04 - Many people remember the day of July 20th 1972, as this was when a famous actor and devoted Martial Artist departed from our world. But who remembers November 27th 1940? Yes, it’s true, Bruce Lee would be only 64 today! It seems that even after all this time, some of us are still searching. As time for practice is consumed with every day activities, such as work, many if us fail to realize our own potential. What Bruce Lee done for Martial Arts as a whole can never be repeated, but the mindset and favour towards experimentation and development will be with us all forevermore...

20/11/04 - It’s the Children in Need weekend and we openly encourage all Martial Artists’ to get involved with good causes such as this. Although we have rarely seen events for Martial Arts raising large sums of money for Charity, they do happen all over the Country and we would like to hear from people who have participated in Pudseys 25th Birthday, or have any plans for a future fundraiser. With the World as it is, maybe all we need do is sit together and work for a better tomorrow, where peace reigns and people from all walks of life meet and train together for the good of Martial Arts. And if you like the Wing Chun style, be sure to support our upcoming DVD release...

03/11/04 - With October in the past, we are now preparing for the New Year! Spencer and Robert were two of the lucky few to see ‘House of Flying Daggers’ at the London Film Festival last week. Keep tuned for a write up on this movie, as it didn’t pull out all the stops as we anticipated, but it was a good artistic movie with plenty for the eyes and ears! We would also like to say a big thank you to our Teacher and Kung Fu Family for inviting us to the Mythical Splash Awards. The night was a great success and Jun Mo gained some excellent exposure on Chinese TV and in Hackney for their efforts in the community...

20/10/04 - We are developing a NEW section of this site to keep you updated on the activities at Jun Mo; our Martial Home and Kung Fu Family. It is not so uncommon for Martial Artists to be interested in Art itself, and this unique group have been promoting the Cultural Arts of China since 1992! After their success at the Carnival Splash, our ‘Kung Fu Family’ are now preparing for their ‘Mythical Splash’ Event, to be held at Oceans in Hackney on Saturday 30th October. The Halloween festivities will begin at 6pm, with a party arranged for the evening (10pm-4am). With the support of the Arts Council of England and Hackney Council, this is set to be the first event of many to come. For more information have a look at the Jun Mo Site by going to the Links page

07/10/04 - October is set to be a busy month for The Company. If you haven’t already had your monthly fix of Martial Arts Magazines, be sure to pick up a copy of ‘Combat’, as there is a feature on Paul Burkinshaw, Chief Instructor of Sil Lum Kune in Bedworth, UK. It is refreshing to see such a positive promotion of Chinese Martial Art in the media, as Paul has received 2 “Combat Hall of Fame Awards” for his achievements in Martial Arts and he speaks from the heart. The interview reveals how his unique training helped him to overcome paralysis after an accident four years ago and how he has continued to teach and guide his students to great heights in competition, in forms as well as fighting. We first met Paul at Seni 04, as he was looking after the BCCMA stand right next door to us! Did you know that we helped produce a Promotional VCD for Sil Lum Kune and the Shaolin Fist Chinese Boxing Association? To see how, click here...

20/09/04 - It’s finally on it’s way. After so much time waiting, ‘Hero’ is here on Friday! We don’t want to over exaggerate or anything, but if you have seen this movie then we think you know what we mean when we say “If you haven’t seen this movie, and have no interest in the Martial Arts, then go see it!!!” This is the sort of Film that many of us hardcore Chinese Martial Art fanatics wish we were involved with, as it contains a message that we could all learn from. To study any art-form, especially from China, you must consider the culture of it’s founding people and appreciate the rich History and knowledge, born out of Art and War, which has encompassed the globe. If this Film doesn’t stir your interest in Chinese Martial Art, then you may as well stay in the office...

19/08/04 - Our Teacher and Kung Fu Family attended the Carnival Splash held at Alexandra Palace over the weekend. The Jun Mo Generations are growing from strength to strength, and their website is now online. If you’re interested in the Chinese Cultural Arts then check it out!

03/08/04 - July was a busy month for The Company. Not so much time was spent relaxing, as we were out promoting Chinese Martial Art in a School, a Youth Centre and a Leisure Centre! Working with Scemes Shop, we presented a Chinese Martial Art Workshop to the youths of Brays Grove School on Wednesday 14th July. The presentation was received well, and the Teachers were very supportive over the hectic few hours. Alongside this special ‘Mystery Prize’, we have been giving regular workshops at The Peel Centre in Kings Cross, as well as locally for the Oasis Youth organization. As we continue to reach the youngsters of London and pass on our experiences and expertise, many opportunities have arisen and as we enter into the summer months, we can only wait for the right chance, the right project, which will help us develop as a company. The response by local youth workers, teachers and authorities have been exceptional.

Within The Academy, a change of Course has occurred, bringing new life to the weekly training as they enter the hall of Long & Short Fist for the first time. We have also had a good response from our first mail-out since Seni 04, and we thank everybody who has contacted us for their support! We are in the final stages of one of our Digital Media projects for ‘Sil Lum Kune’, a well established Martial Arts group based in Warwickshire and run by Sifu Paul Burkinshaw.

Finally, we are pleased to have linked to the London 2012 website, so if you want to show your support for the bid, go to the Links page and let them know who sent you! As a Company we feel that the Olympics would not only bring great training facilities for the athletes during the games, but these facilities can be shared with the general sporting population. As Martial Artists, we must see the relationship between sport, art and combat, and the World may soon recognize us for being athletes in our our right. Good Luck to the Teams in Athens!

01/07/04 - We finally done it! The Saam Wan Wing Chun Showreel is now available on our Downloads page! It took longer than expected to make this piece available, as our lives are always changing and our activities are growing. Apart from working on our Digital Media Services, we have also just completed our ‘Interaction’ Course at The Yum Yeurng Academy hall in Burnt Oak Leisure Centre. Our training continues to be simple, yet quite demanding on the members. Only small in size, the group of four is looking forward to the ‘Long & Short Fist’ Course starting later this month. At the same time, we will be at Brays Grove School fulfilling the sponsored prize we gave away at the Scemes Shop stand during The Education Show in April. An opportunity to talk to the youngsters about Chinese Martial Art in workshops delivered during the schools ‘Art Week’ of activities.

01/06/04 - June is here, and the spring blossoms are falling. We will be updating this site on a regular monthly basis, so keep tuning in and watch out for the Directors Reports, which will be an interesting read on the struggles and accomplishments of our developing business. If you ever wanted to try this at home... be prepared for some good old hard work, or what we Martial Artists’ know as extreme ‘Kung Fu’!.

24/05/04 - We are currently offering a FREE GIFT when you become an Online Member. Check out the latest rare Bruce Lee Videos for purchase by mail-order in our Film & Video section, and keep tuning in to our site as we will be presenting the new ‘Saam Wan Wing Chun’ Showreel online in June, filmed LIVE! at Seni 04...

18/05/04 - The new BCCMA Wu Shu Showreel is now available as a download! This was a sponsored project by The Company and is an excellent example of the Showreel services we can offer. The BCCMA GB Wu Shu Squad took to the Lei Tai stage at Seni 04 on Sunday 25th April. Edited to an original soundtrack, the showreel is intended to preserve this unique display and pay tribute to the participants hard work! Check out our new Links for further information on the Wu Shu teams involved...

10/05/04 - The Wing Chun School, Saam Wan Wing Chun and The Yum Yeurng Academy joined together for the first time at Seni 04 to promote the Chinese Martial Art of Wing Chun. This unique family style is said to originate from a female martial artist of the same name and is possibly the most comprehensive and popular Martial Art to come out of China. You can find out more information about The Yum Yeurng Academy within this site, or see our Gallery with Chambers of photos and artwork.

28/04/04 - The Seni 04 Show is over, and what an experience it was! We were both exhausted yet tireless by the end of a superb three days away from London. The exhibition once again proved to be very popular, and we owe a great deal of thanks to the organizers Paul Alderson and Andrew Sheehan, and to our close friends Neera, Zana, John, Robert, Tony M, Tony S, Toby, Garry and Jack for their continual support. It was an honour to be able to present our company for the first time to the public with you all, and we look forward to another year of growth and learning as Martial Artists.

05/04/04 - Well, it’s now less than three weeks away to the Seni04 Show! If you’re attending this event, be sure to come and see us at Stand 688! As time has moved on, this website has chopped and changed a little, but we feel that it is now settling into how we want to be seen. The Company Logo itself has had a refurbish, along with the way the site is organized, so after Seni04 and by the time we enter into the big world of ‘search-engines’ and further online promotions, we will be ready for an international audience.

01/04/04 - We are developing our monthly E-News Update, which can be sent directly to your email, so drop us a line if you’re interested, or if you would like to become an exclusive Online Member, Click Here to find out more...

19/03/04 - In partnership with Scemes Shop, YYA Limited are delighted to be able to sponsor the Yum Yeurng Academy’s Chinese Martial Art Youth Workshop to two lucky schools in the UK who won this Mystery Prize at The Education Show at the Birmingham NEC! So well done to the prize draw winners Brays Grove School in Essex, and Woodfield Primary School in Chester...

13/03/04 - As Seni04 draws closer, YYA Limited has been approached by ‘Scemes Shop’, a directory service for over 12,500 Schools. A pair of Chinese Martial Art Workshops were raffled off as a Mystery Prize to two lucky Schools in the UK at The Education Show today!
