Call me this, call me that, just don’t call me late for lunch! 😂
叫我这个，叫我那个，只要别叫我午饭迟到就行！
(Except during Ramadan, during which time I can wait till sunset.)
（除了斋月期间，那段时间我可以等到日落。）
Welcome to the Silk Road Kung Fu Friendship Tour Internet Site!

What’s new? 有什么新鲜事？
Great news! Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine is back online and better than ever except there is a paywall for older articles. That’s OK because Editor Gene Ching has to make some money. 😃 Give him a break! Anyways, the new articles are free like always and the first of a series of articles I wrote from Anyang City, the Yinxu archeological site of Shang Dynasty civilization is on the front page. There are six articles in this series covering everything from the origin of Chinese writing and the world’s first great warrior/queen/high priestess Lady Fu Zi, to the origin of Kung Fu!
好消息！《功夫太极杂志》重新上线了，比以往更好，只是旧文章有收费墙。这没关系，因为编辑Gene Ching也需要赚钱。😃 给他一点宽容吧！无论如何，新文章仍然是免费的，我在安阳撰写的一系列文章中的第一篇——关于商朝文明的殷墟考古遗址——现在在首页。这一系列共有六篇文章，涵盖从中国文字的起源、世界上第一位伟大的战士/女王/大祭司傅子女士，到功夫的起源等内容！
The AMAZING 10th World Kung Fu Championships held October 14 – 20 in beautiful Emei Mountain (Emeishan in Chinese), in Sichuan province.
令人惊叹的第十届世界功夫锦标赛于10月14日至20日在美丽的峨眉山（中文名：峨眉山），四川省举行。
I was honored to be asked to assist in doing the English language voiceover for this history making event. Some 5,092 athletes from 54 countries and regions participated. Hosted by the International Wushu Federation (IWUF) and Chinese Wushu Association (CWA) it was four non-stop days of live action covering three floors with 10 competition areas on each floor! This biannual international sporting event was established in 2004 and is always a truly HUGE event.
我很荣幸被邀请为这一历史性事件的英语配音提供帮助。共有来自54个国家和地区的5,092名运动员参加。由国际武术联合会（IWUF）和中国武术协会（CWA）主办，这次活动连续四天不停的精彩赛事在三层楼上进行，每层楼设有10个比赛区域！这一每两年举办一次的国际体育赛事始于2004年，总是一个真正盛大的活动。
At the opening ceremony, Chinese actor Wu Jing was appointed as the new wushu image ambassador for the IWUF and the Chinese Wushu Association, succeeding kung fu actor Jet Li, known as Yi Lianjie in China.
在开幕式上，中国演员吴京被任命为国际武联和中国武术协会的新武术形象大使，接替了在中国被称为李连杰的功夫演员。
Wu Jin was very famous mainly in China until 2017 when his Wolf Warrior 2 movie hit the silver screens worldwide and he became a true international celebrity actor, martial artist and director. In his most recent movie, “The Meg 2: The Trench” he co-stars alongside box office mega-star Jason Statham. Some of his other greatest movies are listed here: https://collider.com/wu-jing-best-movies-ranked.
吴京在中国一直非常有名，直到2017年他的电影《战狼2》登陆全球银幕，他才成为真正的国际影星、武术家和导演。在他最近的电影《巨齿鲨2：深渊》中，他与票房巨星杰森·斯坦森合作主演。他的一些其他经典电影可以在这里查看：https://collider.com/wu-jing-best-movies-ranked。
Wrapping it up this competition was beautifully organized, in an awesome location, with spectacular action and came off without a hitch making it all appear easy, which I’m very sure it wasn’t for the athletes, organizers and officials all of whom deserve an enduring round of applause for their roles in making this a truly splendid celebration of China’s martial arts by people of all ages from all around the world.
总结来说，这次比赛组织得非常出色，地点极佳，比赛精彩纷呈，整个过程顺利无阻，让一切看起来轻而易举，我很确定对于运动员、组织者和裁判来说并非如此，他们都值得我们长久的掌声，感谢他们为这场真正辉煌的庆祝活动——由来自世界各地不同年龄的人们共同参与的中国武术盛会——所做的贡献。
Where to find the Silk Road Kung Fu Friendship Tour online?
在哪里可以在线找到丝绸之路功夫友谊之旅？
My humble multi-media efforts focus more on information content than visual effects, probably because I’m not trained in video production. Nevertheless, I hope people enjoy and learn something from those efforts.
我谦虚的多媒体创作更注重信息内容而非视觉效果，这可能是因为我没有接受过视频制作的专业训练。尽管如此，我仍希望人们能从这些创作中获得乐趣并学到一些东西。

And, I’ve been running, swimming, biking and practicing martial arts with ever greater enthusiasm. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER stop training! A way can be found if one searches for it.

17个丝绸之路国家，无数公里的陆路旅行，至今已有12000年的历史。
17 Silk Road countries, uncountable kilometers of land travel and 12 thousand years of history so far.
Silk Road traveler, writer, martial artist and founder of the Silk Road Martial Art Friendship Tour Gregory Brundage, better known as Abdul Rashid, 石龙 Shi (meaning “stone”and pronounced “Sure”) Long (meaning dragon), started learning Judo and Taekwondo in 1969, Karate in 1971, and Kung Fu in 1972. He first moved to southeast Asia in 1992, and started the Silk Road Kung Fu Friendship Tour and Silk Road Taekwondo Quest in 2015 while living in Beijing. First, his articles are published in Kung Fu Magazine (California) and then he collects those articles and publishes them in books. A similar arrangement was made with Taekwondo Times magazine also published in the US and a book emerged as well.
丝绸之路旅行家、作家、武术家和丝绸之路武术友谊之旅的创始人格雷戈里·布伦戴奇，更广为人知的名字是阿卜杜勒·拉希德，石龙于 1969 年开始学习柔道和跆拳道，1971 年开始学习空手道，1972 年开始学习功夫。他于1992年首次移居东南亚，并于2015年在北京居住期间开始了丝绸之路功夫友谊之旅和丝绸之路跆拳道探索。首先，他的文章发表在《功夫杂志》（加利福尼亚州）上，然后他收集这些文章并将它们出版在书中。美国出版的《跆拳道时代》杂志也做出了类似的安排，并出版了一本书。
“Kung Fu” refers to a transcendent level of skill development.
它是关于建设，而不是破坏。
It is about building, never destroying.
Land travel, training with and interviewing the Kung Masters along humanities most ancient pathways of civilization and trade: Around China, Kabul, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, to Istanbul, Turkey, the western terminal of the land Silk Roads.
The journey continues through: Pakistan – Gansu China – Qatar – Addis Ababa, Tigray Ethiopia – Vietnam – Japan – Indonesia – Shanghai, Ningbo, Yuyao China – Thailand and Hong Kong
Vol. 3 Starts in Thailand and then returns to the ancient roads in China. On this continent wherever one goes, traveling in Time and Space will reveal remarkable places and events. Though I’ve been to South Korea, Kyrgyzstan (again), and Vietnam (again) recently.
超越矩阵!
Transcend the Matrix!
The Silk Roads are the real thing – the heart of the world and always have been.
丝绸之路是真正的东西——世界的心脏，而且一直如此。
Ah! There’s my lovely camels!
A place is just a place; it’s friends that make it special.
Rainbow of Silk Road Friendship Tours
A Call for Adventurers!
It is my hope to embolden others to embark upon a journey as I did decades ago to explore your own hobbies and/or professions along the Silk Roads, and share what you learn in the international media, via magazines, journals or videos. That sharing can be any art or science, sport, hobby or other interest area that can contribute to a healthier future for humankind as a whole…
一个地方就是一个地方；是朋友让它变得特别。
