Buddha’s Birthday celebration is the largest festival in the Buddhist Society. Buddhists from throughout Central Florida gathered at the Guang Ming Temple in Orlando for the Buddha’s birth-day on May 6, 2012. The festival started with a welcoming guest ceremony and traditional of-ferings of incense, candles, fruits and flowers by members of Buddha’s Light International Asso-ciation. With proclamations from Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs, Venerables together with

local community leaders, Sherriff Jerry Demings, Commissioner Jennifer Thompson and thou-sands Buddhists observed the bathing Buddha ceremony.

The second Sunday of May is a very special day, as there are three meaningful occasions that fall on that day: Mother’s Day, Buddha Day, and Tzu Chi Day. In 2000, the second Sunday of May was designated by Taiwan’s government as the official Buddha Day in Taiwan. In Tzu Chi, it became the official Global Tzu Chi Day following Tzu Chi’s 30th anniversary. (Tzu Chi was found-ed on March 24, 1966 on the lunar calendar.)

The Tzu Chi Foundation Miami and Or-lando Division respectively hosted their 2012 Mother’s Day, Buddha Day, and Tzu Chi Day cer-emony event for over 300 members and rela-tives on May 13th. Orlando division welcomed the guests to this special event at the Florida College of Integrative Medicine.

For Tzu Chi, this day has many meanings: (1) promoting the field of reverence (敬田); (2) pro-moting the field of gratitude (恩田); that is to be grateful to your parents and teachers and (3) pro-moting the field of compassion (悲田) and that is to give of ourselves to help others. In helping oth-ers, we might seem to be the “giver”, yet we must be grateful to those who receive our aid because others’ suffering awakens us and makes us feel that we’re very blessed. Only when people can feel they’re blessed can they truly be happy and have a blessed life. Moreover, given that there

is so much suffering in the world, we are truly fortunate to be someone who has the capacity to help. We are also fortunate because we have many people who share our ideals and unite with us to carry them out. The Buddha Day Ceremony

Transcending the divisions of religion: Dharma Master Cheng Yen says that all Tzu

Chi volunteers should be grateful to Sakyamuni Buddha, because Tzu Chi is from Buddhism and Sakyamuni Buddha was the one who founded this religion. It is Master’s hope that with the spirit of the Buddha’s teachings, we can transcend the divisions between religions, and regardless of re-ligion and race, spread the spirit of the Buddha’s love to every corner of the world and gather the power from everyone in order to best serve the community. The meaning behind the rituals in the ceremony

Although the water which we use in the cer-emony is not plenty, we need to visualize it as the water of wisdom that can purify our defilements and afflictions; we will be as Buddha, realizing the Dharmakaya, the Dharma-Body (the pure body).

Bowing and the use of scented water: In the past, the way to express one’s reverence toward

the Buddha is to prostrate oneself with one’s head at the Buddha’s feet, touching the Buddha’s feet. Today, in the ceremony, we should have that same sense of reverence as we symbolically do the same by bowing and dipping our fingers in the water (as if to touch the Buddha’s feet) and putting our palms together in reverence. The fra-grance of the water, symbolizing the redolence of the Buddha’s virtue, remains with us, just as we wish that the Buddha’s virtue may abide in our hearts. Every day is Buddha Day

To celebrate the Buddha’s Birthday we have many solemn commemorations to express our reverence toward the Buddha. However, the truest and most earnest appreciation and rever-ence for the Buddha is to consider every day as Buddha Day. We should always treat others with gratitude, respect, and love.

Celebrate Buddha Day, Mother’s Day and Tzu Chi Day

Tampa’s Asia Fest celebrates National Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

By Carol Lim

The Tampa Bay Dragon Boat Races and Asia Fest 2012 brought out huge crowds to downtown Tampa on Saturday, April 28th. The 29th annual Asia Fest was at Cotanchobee Park next to the Tampa Bay Times Forum, where the Republican National Convention will be from August 27-30th.

Since 1982, Tampa’s Asia Fest has cele-brated National Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in May. The Asian-American Coalition of

Florida plans the festival and invites VIPs from Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, Mac Dill Air Force Base and consulate generals of Asian countries. Flag holders represented the United States, Florida, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Laos, Nepal, Myanmar, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia.

Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn proclaimed April 28th as Asia Fest Day.

“To our friends, coalition partners, thank you very much for all you do for us. You have stood shoulder to shoulder with us in some very tough times and we appreciate the fact that this is a shared sacrifice and that of the young men and women in our armed forces on behalf of freedom will not be forgotten. Thank you to our coalition partners and friends,” said Mayor Buckhorn.

“This is always such a great festival in down-

town. There are thousands of people here and I couldn’t be happier. This colorful event helps promote a better understanding and appreciation of diversity. It also provides the opportunity for the entire community to come together in cele-bration,” added Mayor Buckhorn.

“It’s nice to come out to celebrate diversity within our community - 1.2 million people cov-ering 1,150 square miles. It’s when we have festivals and gatherings like this, that we’re able to promote diversity within our own culture. The Board of County Commissioners especially rec-ognizes the importance that the Asian community plays inside our county,” said Hillsborough Coun-ty Commissioner Kevin Beckner.

Admission to the dragon boat races and Asia

Fest was free to the public.

Visitors paid for food and $5-$10 for parking in lots near the Times Forum.

The festival featured cultural entertainment and hosted the 4th Annual Miss Asia Fest pag-eant. The Drum Dance by the Tampa United Ko-rean School was a hit with the crowd.

Did it meet organizers’ expectations?

“Absolutely! Our goal was to share our culture and traditions with the community and those who may have known about Asia Fest before came out and were able to experience some of those traditions. I also felt the promotion of Asia Fest this year was much more active which allowed us to reach a wider audience to attend the event,”

said Sokha Im, Asia Fest’s Executive Director.

“The attendance was the largest we’ve had and the performances were wonderful,” said Im.

“We were delighted to see such a large en-thusiastic audience. What a beautiful sight!” said Kimi Springsteen, Ph.D., Hillsborough County’s Asian American & International Liaison. Springs-teen is the founder of Asia Fest in Tampa.

With lots of sunshine and temperatures soar-ing to 90 degrees, visitors sought relief in the shade and drank lots of water to stay hydrated at this family-friendly, cash-only, no alcohol festival. Some visitors also wore colorful Asian costumes, hats and used parasols in the spirit of the occa-sion. Tampa Police at the festival reported no

heat-related incidents and no arrests during the event.

The Tampa Bay Dragon Boat races next to Asia Fest also drew many first-time visitors, in-cluding some from Miami and Puerto Rico. There were 33 races with 55 teams of American, Asian, Canadian and Pan American teams sponsored by local businesses and groups.

Tampa’s Suncoast Association of Chinese Americans won a bronze medal in the C Divi-sion Championship Final, race #29 with a time of 1:53.06.

“We still need to do a lot to improve. We want to win the gold medal in Division B next year,” said Julia Hwang, one of the founders of SACA .

The Chinese American Association of Cen-tral Florida’s dragon boat team, CHARGE, won its first medal--a silver medal in the D Division Championship Final in race #27 with a time of 2:01.30.

“We are thrilled to get our first medal. After all, it is not about the medal. It is about the friend-ship and teamwork we establish through the year. We encourage everyone to try out this team sport which originated thousands years ago in China,” said Shally Wong, the president of the Chinese American Association of Central Florida.

“We shall always cherish and celebrate to honor the motherlands we left behind us and embrace our adopted country, home of our future

generations. We are proud to call America our country because of what it stands for: Truth, Jus-tice and Liberty. We honor all of those who dedi-cated their lives to making our American Dream possible. God Bless America,” said Springsteen.

When Business and Culture Meet By Kristina Huang By Minh Insixiangmy


A small organization called TCCTF, which is known as the Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce of Tampa Bay, hosted their 8th Annual Meeting during Mother’s Day weekend. Many members and guests had the chance to access one of the most exclusive social clubs in the Tampa Bay Area. Imagine what a view from the 41st floor of the tallest building in Tampa could look like. One step inside the ballroom and you could see the Port of Tampa and have an entire overlook of Downtown Tampa.

Not to get too distracted with the jaw dropping location, we had a handful of guests appear at the meeting. Many student representatives from the University Of South Florida’s Taiwanese Student Association came out to help with the event activ-ities. Board members from the Taiwanese Cham-ber of Commerce of Greater Orlando came out to show support to our local chamber. The vice president of the Tampa Bay International Busi-ness Council, Glynis-Ross Munro, also made an appearance to help spread the message about conducting international business in the area.

Today, markets are becoming more open to foreign investments. Over a significant period we

will see many transitions occur to become a more globalized economy. One group of young profes-sionals called the Tampa Taiwan Trade helped explained to our guests about the tremendous business opportunities available in China and Taiwan. Their consulting firm offers a range of services from identifying potential suppliers and consumers to customized packaged services such as language translation. A special guest speaker, Lee-En Chung, joined us in sharing her eight secrets to a successful career. She shared an inspiring story that mentioned a major point of not being the most brilliant person in the world, but with the right positive attitude and determina-tion anyone can get as far in life as they want. Keep in mind that staying happy, building strong relationships and saying thank you to the people in your life are some secrets to her success.

With the impact of emerging young leaders and the influence of business owners, we find that the possibilities are endless. As Robert Chen finished his presidency term, TCCTF announced their new board members and president for the 2012-2013 year. We welcomed Wen Chung, Jo-anna Chang, Tina Chen, and Alvin Chang to the TCCTF board of directors. With the guidance of

the new president, Wen Chung, the upcoming year will be filled with more exciting events and opportunities.

From what I gathered, this was not just a lun-cheon filled with students, business associates, and affiliated organizations, but a group of people who came to support the same mission. Our mis-sion is to promote Taiwan’s business opportuni-ties between two countries. Actively engaging ourselves with the Taiwanese Chamber of North America and the World Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce over the past few years has allowed us to build the right connection and relation-ship between Tampa and Taiwan. Relationships between all the organizations continue to grow stronger each year as we continually work to-gether.

TCCTF will continue to build a greater pres-ence nationally and internationally. Under a new direction of elected board members and the in-fluence of a new president, anything is possible. Visit our website or facebook for current or up-coming activities!

By Ricky Ly

Vincent Kong, originally from Pembroke Pines, Florida and a graduate of the University of Florida, recently won first place for the SNBF Supernatural Bodybuilding and Fitness Competi-tion in Atlanta, Georgia. A past president of the UF Chinese American Student Association and a brother of Pi Delta Psi Fraternity, he is currently working for a business management consulting firm. Asia Trend Magazine recently spoke to Vin-cent about his inspiration and advice for those of us who want to become healthier.

His inspiration came one day when he be-came tired of working out without any clear goals and decided to change that by competing and see how far he can go with this goal.. Dedication, consistency, and self motivation with having the goal in mind is some of his advice to those who seek to improve their physical fitness.

His diet during the journey to bodybuilding was relatively clean. He cooked his own meals, mostly high in protein and high in vegetables with a lot of chicken breast, brocolli, and green beans. His work out routine included high repetitions and lots of sets as well as many compound exercises including pull ups, dumb bell bench press, squats, dumb bell overhead press, dead lifts and cardio exercise. The routine usually lasts about three to four hours a day in the gym - starting with 45 min of cardio in the morning and 2 hours weights and 45 min of low intense cardio at night after work. It helped him to weigh yourself in the morning and keep a running log to track his progress.

Asia Trend: What was your biggest challenge during your path to victory?Vincent Kong: I think the biggest challenge was just self discipline. Seeing other people go

out and eat whatever they want while you sit with your chicken breast and broccoli. It’s a huge mind game but every time I felt like I was going to slip I imagined myself on stage getting 2nd place. The worst feeling would be on stage getting that 2nd place trophy and thinking back to the time I ate that big mac or those french fries or that milkshake and knowing i didn’t give it 100%.

AT: Do you take any supplements or protein for your work outs?VK: I’ve honestly kept my supplementation pretty basic. I take creatine for recovery, whey protein for quick digesting protein, multivitamin for anything i might lack in my diet, casein protein before bed to prevent muscle catabolization, and BCAA’s during workout for energy. I’ve taken many more supplements but in my opinion they had little to no affect on me.

Ricky Ly is the food writer for the award winning food blog TastyChomps.com. His first book, The Food Lovers’ Guide to Orlando published by the Globe Pequot Press will release in November 2012.

AT: Did you have any mentors or people who helped you on your way to bodybuilding?VK: I followed a few pro bodybuilders in terms of motivation. But as far as mentors I was working with a prep coach in Atl, GA he really helped me with my nutrition and diet as well as supplemen-tation and workouts. He didn’t personally train me but he did play a huge role in my success so far.

AT: How long have you been working out? When did you start seriously in your goal for the bodybuilding competition?VK: I’ve been working out for probably 11 years now on and off. But really started taking it seri-ously in 2011 when i decided to do a competition. My coach and I started working together on my

diet and body composition May 2011, from there we just tracked my progress and decided that an April 2012 show would be my best bet. After the date was set it was really just hard work and dedi-cation from there until the show date.

AT: Did you have a daily calorie intake goal?VK: I wouldn’t say my calorie intake was as important as my macro-nutrient intake. I ended up taking in about 2600 calories a day (pre-con-test) but that could vary upon my carbohydrate intake. Some days I took more, some less. It re-ally depends on the person. There’s no cookie cutter formula.

AT: What have reactions been from friends and strangers been?

VK: Two main things was my leg development and conditioning (size and cuts) and the spray tan. #1 question asked me has been”how did you get that tan off?”

AT: You travel a lot for work, how do you keep up your diet on the road?VK: It’s all about making healthier choices. When eating out, find restaurants in the area that have healthy options. Instead of getting burger fries, get chicken salad. It all plays into being dedicat-ed. Alot of people go out and eat something crazy when they are out instead of staying account-able. Research and find a hotel with a gym before you hit the area. It’s all about staying dedicated to your goals and making those healthy choices. swole.me is a great website to make your own diet choices that track everything.

The Fujiko F. Fujio Museum (藤子・F・不二雄ミュージアム), also informally known as the Doraemon Museum, is a fanciful art museum found in the suburbs of Kawasaki. It is based on the work of Fujiko F. Fujio who is the creator of Doraemon, an influential series about a robotic cat from the 22nd century who travels back in time to befriend a group of kids. The museum requires advance reservations.

Visit the Fujiko F. Fujio museum will warm your heart and makes you smile! Doraemon fans go to this museum like having him to come life. Doraemon has been around for decades and re-mains extremely popular today. So although the museum is aimed at children, it also appeals to adults who grew up with the series. While not large, it has a pretty extensive collection of Fujiko F. Fujio’s work, including original artwork from Doraemon, 21-emon, Kaibutsukun, and several of Fujiko’s other series. An excellent English au-dio guide is included with admission and has a

lot of commentary on Fujiko’s life and the various artwork on display.

The second, more hands-on half of the mu-seum is aimed toward small children. It features a theater displaying an original short film, a man-ga reading room, and several activity and play rooms. A few life-size statues of Doraemon char-acters, that you can touch and take pictures with, are found outside around the museum grounds. There is also a cafe selling Doraemon themed dishes, and a well stocked gift shop with char-acter goods from Doraemon and Fujiko’s other series.

Don’t forget to print out the website instruc-tions in English and Japanese, that way if you need to ask for help it’s easier for the person helping you.

The Asian American Chamber of Commerce celebrated its annual Meet and Greet with gov-ernment officials with a Business After-Hours at the Orlando City Hall last May 8th. It was also a fitting time to commemorate the month of May as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

Over 200 members, VIPs and guests from various sectors of the community attended the celebration.

As in previous years, the event included ven-dor participation and table top exhibitors. This year, the food sponsors were Bento Café and Sam’s Club, who have been sponsors for the last three years. Other food sponsors were Twist Asian Fusion, Lam’s Garden and first time par-ticipants Panda Express, Carlucci’s Pizza, Aroma Indian Cuisine and Over Rice.

Also participating with table top exhibits were AACC corporate sponsors Sun Trust, Florida

Hospital, OUC and Asia Trend Magazine. Other exhibitors were Mapili CPAs, Florida Institute of Technology, Embrace Home Loans, Organo Gold, St Germaine Chiropractic, Orange County Property Appraiser’s Office, the Asian American Heritage Council, the Council of Filipino Ameri-can Organizations and the Orlando Veteran’s Administration.

The event started with networking, food sam-pling and the opportunity to meet government of-ficials. The main program began with the reading of the proclamation issued by Mayor Buddy Dyer proclaiming the month of May as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in the city of Orlando. This was read by Commissioner Patty Sheehan. It was followed by the reading of a congratulatory letter from Congressman Daniel Webster read by his representative, Cindy Brown. After the introduction of VIP’s and special guests, Kathy Llamas, AACC Immediate Past President and

Chair of the city hall event, called on the 2012 AACC Board of Directors led by 2012 President Gail Rayos, who gave a short talk that included a moment of silence in memory of the recently de-parted, Gary Sain, CEO of Visit Orlando, a long-time Jade Sponsor and supporter of the AACC.

There were raffle prizes, entertainment from saxophonist, Philip Mahoney and a Parade of NAsians featuring members and guests dressed in native Asian attire.

The annual May event at the Orlando City Hall continues to be one of the signature events of the Asian American Chamber of Commerce.

Kathy Llamas, CEO & Founder of KL Com-munications is also a REALTOR® & Director of Business Development for ConnectRealty.com and a Senior Adviser of the AACC. She can be reached at [email protected].

Members and guests of the Asian American Chamber of Commerce packed an Orlando Utili-ties Commission training center on May 22 for a Chamber installment of the 2012 series of “Lunch & Learn” workshops.

“Power Lunch – Green Business Strategies” was sponsored by the Orlando Utilities Commis-sion and organized by OUC Diversity Coordinator Dr. Bridget Lee. The interactive session ranged from a virtual tour of the first solar farm in Or-ange County to budget-saving energy solutions for businesses and residents.

“One of the most successful elements of the Asian Chamber’s 25th anniversary Global Expo in 2011 were the workshops featuring presenta-

tions on a range of topics of interest to small busi-nesses and the Asian community,” said Cham-ber president Gail Rayos. “Starting in 2012, the Chamber has added more frequent “lunch and learn” programs to meet the demand of its mem-bers for business market insights and profession-al development.”

In the coming months and through early 2013, the Chamber already is working to book new pre-sentations on topics such as doing business with Asia to small business communications solutions.

“The Power Lunch, hosted by our corporate sponsor OUC, also was an effective program for new guests to experience in a smaller format the depth of programming the Chamber provides,”

Rayos said.

The Lunch and Learn participants ranged from real estate professionals interested in homeowner programs to small business owners asking questions about incentives and even to other renewable energy source providers.

As part of its commitment to education, OUC regularly hosts informational workshops to edu-cate the general public on solar water heating and solar electric systems. Homeowners or small business owners who are interested in learning about the energy savings presented at the AACC workshop, can go to www.ouc.com/en/residen-tial/Solar/

On May 9th, University High School’s Asian Student Association was proud to present its an-nual Asian Night. This event was meant to bring the community together through diverse perfor-mances that touched base on each Asian culture. Remarkably, this night was filled with entertain-ment by local talents as well as its own members. Some of these performances included Chinese Lion dancing, Indian and Polynesian dancing. The show was also a memorable accomplish-ment due to special performances such as Phil-lip Mahoney, Disney’s Epcot Dance Team, UCF’s Filipino Student Association and Asian Student Association. Our very own members also had the opportunity to perform. This comprised of the Fili-

Asian Night 2012pino Tinikling, karate, and the traditional fashion show consisting of traditional wear from each of the Asian countries. The night of May 9th also en-tailed an appealing dinner bursting with assorted cuisines sponsored by Hawaiian Grindz, Viet Thai Café, SusHi, Pho House, and DeGuzman’s oriental market. Asian Night was a great success thanks to several teachers, students, and the strong Asian Community that Orlando holds. We all look forward to continuing this occasion and improving it all years to come.

UHS’s Asian Student Association is com-posed of 108 members including the 2011-2012 officers: President Kathleen Santiago, Vice President Andrew Uyeda, Secretary

Jaclyn Mendoza, Treasurer Andreya Rivera and Historian Christina Wong. This associa-tion has been at University High School for years and has gradually been continued by various Asian American Students. The main purpose of this group is to inform and spread the Asian culture in various enjoyable forms such as through Asian Night. This club would not have been successful if it were not for our sponsors throughout the year. The sponsor for UHS’s ASA this year is Ms. Karena Chunoo, who made this year unforgettable.

Bringing communities

together through Arts

The Mills 50 District – the business district surrounding the intersection of Mills Avenue and Colonial Drive/Route 50 – is known for its bars, clubs, local restaurants and Asian businesses. Now it can be noted as a street gallery of sorts for local, upcoming artists. Selected local artists transformed fourteen transportation utility boxes, also known as the big, ugly metal boxes seen at intersections into colorful works of art. The pur-pose of the project was to create an environment which depicts the community’s diversity, creativ-ity, commerce and neighborhoods. The ultimate goal: beautify the district.

“This project provided an opportunity for local artists to showcase their talents while bring-ing beauty and awareness to the Mills 50 district. The boxes exemplify the diversity and creativity of the district!” said Joanne Grant, Executive Director of Mills 50 Main Street.

One of the artists, Dr. Puxiao Cen from Flor-ida Heart Group accompanied by Chinese Cal-ligrapher Peter Lau completed one art box filled with Asian element. ‎”A total of 80 hours for this artwork project, from design to completion. Thank you for giving me the chance,” said Dr. Puxiao Cen.

“I knew about this art box project during phrase one back in 2011 but did not have enough time to search the Asian artists. Thank you Joanne Grant for reaching out to the Asian com-munity again and the City of Orlando for allow-ing us to be part of this meaningful project,” said Shally Wong, the President of the Chinese Amer-ican Association of Central Florida. “Everyone should agree that this project at Mills 50 district will not be completed without an Asian piece.”

The “art box” project was so popular that four-teen additional utility cabinets have been painted. The last call for artists produced 50 submissions by twenty six artists! Next time you drive by the Mills 50 area, make sure to check them out.

Chanoyu in Florida

Japanese culture has been admired in the United States since the late 1800’s and there are organizations and institutes for chanoyu (the” tea ceremony”)—that quintessentially Japanese practice—in large cosmopolitan areas likes San Francisco and New York City. But what do you do when you’re fascinated by chado (the way of tea) and living in Florida? Brewed green tea (sencha) and powdered tea leaves (matcha) have become increasingly popular since their health benefits were broadcast by medical studies and the mass communications media. So the tea itself is widely available in specialty stores and, of course, Asian

By Esther Searfoss

groceries. What I yearn for, however, is the implements and experience of a

proper tea ceremony.

Why study chanoyu? For me it’s because I love Japanese culture, because tea provides a brief respite from my busy life style, and in the hope that some of the

grace and serenity of my sensei may transfer itself eventually to me. Believe

it or not, there are several chajin or tea masters within a few hours’ drive of my home in

West Central Florida. Some are Japanese, some not, but all have studied and practiced many years. I am extremely fortunate to find quality instruction relatively convenient. Maybe there are some tea instructors living near you too. To find them, ask at tea shops, local colleges, museums, or Japanese clubs and societies in your area.

To satisfy my hunger for beautiful tea objects and to fill my need for student supplies, I turn to the Internet and, invariably, Rakuten. I have sat for hours, Japanese dictionary and online transla-tor at hand, searching for just the right summer-style chawan (tea bowl) and then deciphering correspondence from the stores. My sensei

was impressed with the bowl when I took it to class. It’s a lovely but not-tooexpensive oatmeal-colored bowl with a firefly motif. Since then, I’ve discovered the Rakuten English language inter-face. It has helped make transactions less stress-ful for those of us with only a beginner’s grasp of Japanese. I look forward to the day when the English site will make it easier to choose ship-ping methods other than EMS for my inexpensive purchases.

Why not join me in the exploration of tradi-tional Japanese culture? Let’s slow down a bit, contemplate a single flower in the tokonoma alcove, enjoy the company of like-minded friends, learn a few words of Japanese, and appreciate the beauty of Japan’s ceramic arts. Reading about the development of chanoyu introduces you to Japanese cultural history—its politics, art, philosophy and religion. You too can learn to savor the bite of matcha! To me, the taste is reminiscent of lying in a field of tall grass on a late summer afternoon. Practice chanoyu and you will loosen your knees, calm your mind, and nurture your spirit.

ClearOne Badminton Centre Orlando is the 1st purpose built badminton facility open to the public in the entire state of Florida! ClearOne of-fers court rentals, drop-in play, private lessons and group lessons for all ages and levels.

For years, the west coast has dominated bad-minton and ClearOne, which has been a pioneer

in opening badminton centres in Canada has opened its first centre of many on the eastern seaboard with the first being Orlando.

ClearOne through a careful selection process has chosen Orlando mainly due to its awareness of the sport and being an entertainment Mecca. Orlando boasting a solid base of people playing in the city and the ethnic diversity in the community that already play the sport of badminton made it an attractive location to put their 5th facility.

It is ClearOne’s goal to really showcase the sport as an active lifestyle for all ages and skill sets where everyone can learn how to play the sport from qualified international coaches. It is also a very viable social outing for families and other groups with players as young as 5 yrs -

Indonesian born American Tony Gunawan aims for the first Olympic medal in badminton for the United States

By Asia Trend

Gunawan is a former Olympic gold medalist and world champion for Indonesia, and now rep-resents the United States after the grant of U.S. Citizenship he has wanted for many years. “I’ve been looking forward to this (citizenship) for a long time,” he says, his emotions getting ahead of his English. “Very lucky me that I got this op-portunity to stay and work in the U.S. and then raise up my family here.”

Gunawan and the Vietnamese-born Howard stunned the badminton world when they nailed the United States’ first men’s doubles title at the World Championships in 2005.

Now 37, Gunawan is taking one shot at earning the United States’ first Olympic medal in badminton before going back to his badmin-ton academy in California and coaching the next generation of players to what he hopes is the

Olympic medal stand.

Tony Gunawan and Howard Bach will com-pete in men’s doubles, while Rena Wang will compete in women’s singles in the 2012 Olympic Games.

Badminton is one of the most played sports in the world which requires fast reflexes, steady concentration and extraordinary hand-eye coor-dination.
