Master George Bierman has been globe hopping once again!

In his own words:

Thought it was time that I bring you up to date on a few things. After we came back from Russia I went to London for a Hall of fame dinner. On June 3rd I was inducted into my 9th Hall of fame and was also presented an honorary 8th Dan in Ty-GA Karate from Grandmaster Gary Wasniewski.

On October 21st I was at another HOF dinner in Valencia, Spain. I taught several classes and did some demos. I received a police badge and Id card from The International Confederation of Police and Security Experts as a police instructor and police security expert from the President Grandmaster Santiago Sanchis.

I have achieved enough credit hours from instruction internationally etc and was awarded a certificate from the International Martial Arts College in St. Petersburg, Russia and was awarded the title of a Professor in Martial Arts.

Great job George!

Keep us posted about China!
