Master Bruce Harvey becomes a master in IAIDO and Kendo

After several months of intense training with Grand Master Agrella he's now ranked in both IAIDO and Kendo. Grand Master Agrella carries a true passion for the japanese styles such as IAIDO and Kendo. As a result of that passion, it's very difficult to rank in both those disciplines much less becoming a master. He drives four hours every week to attend and teach these specialized classes. He's now on a short list of Tong Leong practioners who have succesfully earned a rank in all the disciplines.

Master Bruce Harvey achieves highest rank in Tong Leong system.

Master Bruce Harvey has finished testing for the highest rank possible in the Tong Leong Tzee Wai Kuen system under the watchful tutelage of Grand Master Agrella. Master Bruce Harvey’s journey in the martial arts began at age 5, and since then has earned a rank in every discipline within the Tong Leong disciplines. He’s well known for being a traditional, disciplined, and highly professional martial artist among his peers and students who has produced countless champions on a global scale. His loyalty and long standing dedication has earned him the impressive rank of (JYOU/HUCKDIE) 9th Dan in Tong Leong Karate, and (JYOU/HUCKDIE) 9th Dan Tzee Wai Kuen. The testing process consisted of executing and teaching all the tong leong techniques, katas, and stances to the highest level of perfection only equal to Grand Master Agrella himself.

With these newly earned ranks, Master Bruce Harvey is official Head of the Tong Leong System directly alongside Grand Master Agrella. This is truly an honor for Master Bruce Harvey because no one in the Tong Leong System has ever achieved such ranks. Master Bruce trains his students in all five tong leong disciplines at the Gaithersburg location, but exclusively at Madison Virginia located at PO Box 854, Madison, VA 22727.
