12.18.07 | "JFH" Martial Arts Creative Team member Max Chen makes the US Olympic Team for the new mixed martial arts trial sport, San Shou! Congratulations to him and the entire Chen Family! After months of grueling training and a week full of competitive fighting versus the worlds top fighters in the sport of San Shou, Max Chen left the Beijing World Championships with a ticket back in 2008 as part of the trial sport event for San Shou on the new US Olypic San Shou Team.
Max Chen, a member of the "JFH" Martial Arts Creative Team, is one of two choreographers for the "JFH: Justice-For-Hire" comic book, and can also be seen portaying the character Sudden K.O. in the pages of the "JFH" comic. He will reprise the role in the upcoming "JFH" feature film.
10.26.07 | “Justice-For-Hire’s Fight Night at Von Dutch LA” Recap: A Groundbreaking Evening of Fighting, Comics, and the Arts. 2007 marks the official launch year of three new Creative Impulse Entertainment (CIE) companies-- three divisions to develop and produce intellectual property in film, comic books, music, and videogames. Creative Impulse Entertainment's vision is to uplift society through a fusion of creativity and multiculturalism targeted to the broadest international marketplace. During the last nine months, CIE has achieved the following milestones:
• Unleashed a groundbreaking new martial arts-based camera system that . wowed fans at the ’07 San Diego Comic Con,
• Musical artist Sage Michael developed the first CIE album while touring
with multi-platinum recording artist, Ludacris,
• Pre-released three new comic book series in the graphic literature
industry, and
• Launched prep for CIE's first videogame title.
And the year is far from over.
CIE's latest exciting venture teamed the company with international lifestyle brand, Von Dutch, whose world-renowned brand ranges from custom motorcycles to designer watches and an ultra-chic clothing line. In a major Los Angeles event that took place on Thursday, September 27, 2007, Von Dutch partnered up with CIE to promote the latter's flagship franchise, “JFH: Justice-For-Hire.”
“JFH is the world's first official ‘Ultra-Realistic’ mixed martial arts comic book. Period," said CIE Chief Executive Officer Jan Lucanus. "We are the first to take real fighters' moves in vivid detail, and put them on the comic page. We want people to know that the action and story that we deliver with JFH are all about quality and being socially conscious," added Lucanus, who is also the JFH creator/co-writer and a long-time martial artist. He went on to say, "Kene G at Von Dutch saw our JFH comic and approached me about doing an event together. He made it clear that our goals were the same. When I heard that the owner of Von Dutch, Tonny Sorenson, was an Olympic Tae kwon Do champ, it was a go. No one has ever done an event like this. That’s the definition of ground-breaking!”
Dubbed “Justice-For-Hire presents… Fight Night at Von Dutch LA”, the event celebrated the official launch of the JFH: Justice-For-Hire comic book in Diamond Comic Distributors Previews catalogue, which hit stands on September 26. To consumers, that means that the first issue will be available in comic book stores in December, packaged with a live martial arts action-packed DVD. The comic book's release will plant the seeds for the JFH multimedia franchise, which will include a feature film, videogame, and television/internet spin-offs. This very special evening also benefited MTV’s Life Beat AIDS organization.
Headlining the event was world-renowned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) master, John Machado. Machado - choreographer and cast member of the upcoming David Mamet mixed martial arts film Redbelt - showcased the power and beauty of BJJ with his purple-belt student Luis Lee, while simultaneously promoting his upcoming comic book Faixa-Preta with writer/artist Chadwick Coleman, which is slated for a 2008 international release through Creative Impulse Publishing
Also on the billing for the event were some of the top martial artists in the world fight circuit, including World Champion San Shou Fighter Max Chen, and U.S. Champion San Da fighter Ian Morgan, both of whom painstakingly choreograph all the action in the comic book pages as part of the “JFH” Martial Arts Creative Team – the driving force behind the comic’s martial arts authenticity. The two champions will do the same for the upcoming “JFH” feature film.
“Everyone fighting at this event is also a character in the comic, and will each reprise that roll in the ‘JFH’ feature. This is truly a one-of-a-kind event,” said Lucanus, who also be stepped into the ring for a bout. “As a creative team, we are a very hands-on group. It’s important that people know that what they see in the comic is real, not some fluffy superhero-style action written and drawn by someone who has never gotten punched in the face.”
In addition to explosive demo fights, there were also martial arts demonstrations from Lucanus’ father, JFH co-writer and President of CIE’s publishing division, Jan C. Childress - an international champion T’ai Chi Push Hands fighter and martial arts Hall-of-Famer – as well as an SLD (Filipino live-blade/stick fighting) demo from master Jessy Abrescy with Ahmed Best and his team. The event's program also featured performances from special musical guests The Benefits as well as a dazzling cirque halftime show from Cirque Du Soleil’s Realis.
The pacemaker event drew professionals and celebrities from the film, music, videogame, comic book, and martial arts communities. The select audience was also the first to see the limited edition commemorative “JFH/Von Dutch” T-shirts that will be carried in Von Dutch stores worldwide. The proceeds from the T-shirts will go to charity.
“We packed Von Dutch with 1,100 people,” stated Lucanus. “ I looked around and said ‘Wow, all this for JFH? We have expanded so quickly, it is really incredible. Just wait till ’08.” Lucanus revealed a tidbit about the future during an interview, “We will be launching a JFH: Justice-For-Hire Youtube channel which will be regularly updated with new fight sequences from our Martial Arts Creative Team, interviews, and more. The site will feature different content than what we release on DVD with the comics. We want people to get to know the team behind JFH. They’re all future action stars with something important and positive to say right now.”
