Ken's TV Debut - 'Last Man Standing' Chinese Style!
TRIQUEST'S own purple belt BJJ coach and Muay Thai instructor was chosen to participate in a television pilot based on the concept of martial artists traveling to learn and try other indigenous martial arts. The first stop was Mongolia, the motherland of Mongolian Wrestling. While the TV show has't been released yet, you can get an idea of what's going on from Ken's photo album here.
KYLIN BJJ Seminars in China
During 2011, TRIQUEST has been actively growing the sport of BJJ in mainland China. Hean Instructor Thomas Fan, and Coaches Andy Chan and Victor Chow have been regularly traveling to cities in Guangdong and teaching seminars. They have been to Shenzhen, Jiangmen and Gongmoon. Participation is getting stronger as we reach out to share this great sport with more Chinese!
The China Union of BJJ articale about the latest seminar can be read in Chinese here.

Newest TRIQUEST Member: Brandon Fan!
On November 25th, Charlotte and Thomas Fan had their traditional 100-day baby party for their son, Brandon Jun Jie Fan. That's right, BJJ Fan. It was a great turn out for all of Thomas' students and friends. We look forward to the day when Isabella and Brandon can finally get on the mats with us! Best of luck for health and happiness to the new big Fan family!

Firearms Training Offered!
TRIQUEST resident Krav Maga Instructor Big Joe regularly leads trips to the Clarke AFB in Manila to engage in tactical firearms training. Whether or not you expect to ever need a firearm, the training is exciting!
Says Big Joe:
"You've trained in empty hand systems and are fairly decent, you train in your striking game...You roll and grapple in BJJ and mix it all up in MMA.....You train in weapons such as knives/sticks and learn how to utilise these tools effectively....Last but not least... How is your Firearms Training? Ever consider the thought where you might come across a situation where you may need to deploy and use a firearm?"

TRIQUEST in the News: Muay Thai
Ming's column is back in the Metro HK, this time with an article about Muay Thai boxing. With Ivan's assistance, Ken goes through the techniques he teaches in class.
Ken（右面白衣者）與Ivan正在站立纏鬥（Clinch）中。
Ken突將左手穿入Ivan內門，奪取了更有利的發力位置，並攀住對方頸項。這種爭奪技巧在現代MMA稱為「Pummeling」，此詞來自摔跤。
Ken將Ivan扭向一側，破壞其平衡，也解除了Ivan的抱纏。
Ken配合扭摔向對方頭部施以膝撞。Ivan正在失卻平衡中，無從防禦。

TRIQUEST in the News: BJJ
Ming has done another ban-up column, this time on BJJ. With the assistance of Andy and Ken demonstrating technique, you can read the original article here.
Ken（右面白袍者）與Andy正在站立纏鬥中。
Ken突然起跳，雙腳箝制Andy腰身，將他拉下地面。此動作稱為「Pull Guard」。別看Ken好像被人壓着，巴柔好手身在下位，一樣可怕。
Ken將左腳踩在Andy的胯部。不要小看這微小的動作，細節往往就是能否成功發力和控制敵人的關鍵。
Ken利用那踩踏突然轉向，雙腿變成控制Andy的側面。
留意Ken同時擒住Andy的褲子，令Andy無法修正身體方向脫離Ken的控制。
Ken輕易用腰腿之力將Andy翻轉，變成從上壓制的優勢。
Ken順勢使出「腕十字固」（Armbar），用全身之力扭折Andy的手臂關節，Andy如不投降就會受到嚴重傷害。
