About the Author

Paul Knight is a published author (Miambiance, 2002, and BodyBasic, 2005) educator, and Martial Artist who has over 30 years of experience in developing and supervising programs of Martial Arts instruction for various groups as well as for individuals. Now based in South Florida, Paul began his Martial Arts training in Hung Gar Kung Fu in New York City under Shih Fu Andre Springer. In 1980, Paul began studying Huan Shou Jia kung fu under Shih Jiao George Crayton Jr., and remains one of Grandmaster Crayton’s top students. In 1994 Paul suffered a motorcycle accident in which his left foot was almost completely severed above the ankle. Paul underwent a remarkable recovery, going on to win his first world championship four years after the accident. Paul has not only been a World Champion Martial Artist (1998 NASKA World Champion), but has been inducted into the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame as well as the United International Kung Fu Federation Hall of Fame as the Competitor of the Year for 1992. He has won the Grand Championship in Forms or Fighting at the Battle of the Arts a record 14 times and is a former member of National Team Pepsi. He has contributed to the field of education in the areas of Mathematics, Science, English and the Martial Arts and takes great pride in the work he has done with young people. Master Knight’s latest challenge has been the creation of a program of Martial Arts and Meditation, called “MarMed”, which combines Martial Arts with Meditation and has been shown to be very effective in Addressing impulse control. In writing “POINT”, Master Knight hopes to open a door to a unique and practical interpretation of some of the beautiful Kata and Kung Fu forms that are enjoyed by legions of Martial Artists. Together with Shifu Colleen Diemer, Master Knight has produced a Martial Arts DVD for children entitled “Kidz ‘r Kickin”. This DVD is aimed at introducing young people worldwide to the key role played by Martial Arts, exercise, and Meditation in overcoming adversity and achieving excellence.
