Grand Master Mehrdad Valian - He is an 9th Degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do and an 9th Degree Black Belt in Kung Fu, and has been training in the Martial Arts for 43 years, starting at the age of 6. Master Valian was driven to train when he was faced with two bullies at his school and didn't know how to defend himself. From that point forward he started to attend the Karate Classes in Tehran, Iran. Six months into his training he realized that Kung Fu To'A training fit his style better than Karate, thus thrusting him into the Kung Fu discipline. He continued to train in Kung Fu To'A until he was 14 years old and then started to participate in regional competitions in Tehran.

 

Grand Master Valian has won the fighting championships in Iran at the age of 21 for 70-75kg, then went to Malaysia for a competition and won 2nd place. At the age of 22, he went to Baku, USSR, to attend a Sanshou competition finishing in first place. In 1995 he came to the United States and started his Martial Arts career in San Antonio, Texas where he taught Kung Fu as well as competing in the Regional Championships of the State of Texas. He has won several competitions as a champion until needing to stop because of a back injury ending his competitive career.

 

Since 1995, Grand Master Valian has continued to train and learn the Martial Arts and has been granted the 8th degree black belt in 2006  by Grand Master Kung Young IL (one of the pioneers) in Tae Kwon Do. He has also earned an 8th Degree Black Belt in "New Kung Fu."
