Death Of Ahna Capri

Walt Missingham has advised of the sad news of the death of actress Ahna Capri, co star of the Bruce Lee epic 'Enter the Dragon'.

Ahna was killed in a car accident on the 19th of August in Los Angeles.

Walt commented: "I have known Ahna for almost twenty years and we become quite good friends, I am saddened by her passing she was a wonderful person with a successful and long career ...I will miss her."

Capri was born Anna Marie Nanasi in Budapest, Hungary, but moved to the United States at a young age. By age 11, she was scoring roles on hit TV programs like 'The Danny Thomas Show' and 'Father Knows Best.'

The buxom actress continued to work steadily in TV and film throughout the 1960s on shows such as 'The Mod Squad,' 'I Spy, 'Ironside' and, later, 'Kojak.'

By the 1970s, she had changed her name to Ahna and starred as a wildlife photographer in 'Piranha' and a country singer in 'Payday.' In 1972, she landed the role of Tania, the secretary of Han, in Bruce Lee's smash hit 'Enter the Dragon.'

She last worked in Hollywood in 1979 on an episode of 'Mrs. Columbo.'

Taolu and Sanda Courses confirmed for October

As most will be aware the 2010 Australasian Kung Fu Wushu Championships will occur on Sunday the 24th of October at the State Sports Centre Homebush (Entry and event details can be obtained from our website). We are extremely fortunate to have two of the most senior judges/trainers from IWUF who will be in attendance at the event as the chief judges in Taolu and Sanda.

We will be taking advantage of this opportunity by conducting a one-day accreditation course in Sanda and Taolu. Mr. Yang Yufeng (Sanda coach) and Mr. Lin Jianhua (Taolu coach) will be conducting these courses.

The courses will be conducted as official NOAS accreditation courses and so will enable persons attending to be government accredited as either Taolu or Sanda judges. Points to note:
  1. All attendees will be provided with attendance certificates signed by the presenters
  2. You can attend either the Taolu or the Sanda course you can't do both
  3. Judges already accredited under the NOAS accreditation scheme are required to attend a minimum number of event/training hours in order to update. This course will count as event/training hours for that purpose
  4. The courses will run from 9am 4pm at venues within the State Sports Centre Homebush on Saturday 23rd October
  5. To attend you must return the attached entry form
The courses will be invaluable to both judges and competitors alike as our two presenters bring experience and knowledge in these subjects that is drawn from the highest levels of international competition.

Entry Form is available here
