Sijo John Beall, head and founder of the Tsun Jo Wing Chun system, holds a book signing party, 7 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 16, at the Kung Fu Club of Fall City-Issaquah, 32841 SE 47th Pl., Fall City.

Beall has been a friend and teacher of Fall City club instructor Johann Sasynuik for decades. This is the first book by Beall, who is semi-retired from teaching.

Tsun Jo Wing Chun is a practical self-defense system based on applied physics and functionality. The original Wing Chun was a woman who lived around 350 years ago in China. Beall learned kung fu from two of Bruce Lee’s original students in Seattle.
