2009 INVITED STARS

Mr. Gurjot K. Singh, M Ed., MSIR is a retired US Army Ranger, Drill Instructor and S.E.R.E. (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape) Instructor who completed his Post-Graduate work in Instructional Design for the US Army Civil Service Corps. He is published in professional and academic journals produced by the US Army (2000) and Yale University (1999). He has studied various disciplines in the martial arts since 1971. Most of his martial arts skill development in Grappling, Tai Chi, Boxing and Kickboxing were acquired during his 20 (+) years of government service. Mr. Singh received his status as a Martial Arts instructor from the World Martial Arts College in 2006. He re-opened Angel’s Gym in 2006, a facility that has a 25-year history of training amateur and professional fighters. At this institution, Mr. Singh fused the 13 movement principles of Tai Chi Chuan with Western Boxing and Kickboxing. In 2007, after a year of work, the gym produced several amateur boxing champions. In 2008, there are 3 promising amateur Kickboxing competitors who will see an opportunity to compete for a championship title.
The book, The Illusive Pugilist, was born out of the need to reinforce the merging philosophies of eastern and western boxing. The illusive movement qualities of the Supreme Ultimate paired with the pugilistic characteristics of the Sweet Science are the catalysts motivating the effort to entertain such a merger. It is a book that applies ancient texts of martial study to the modern warrior’s quest for excellence. Additionally, it is a guide to warriors wishing to be proficient artists in the way of becoming a nigh immovable object in defense and a relentlessly irresistible force in offense. To this author, “… the mind is the greatest weapon and the heart the greatest shield”. This statement is the credo of students who train at Angel’s Gym.
