Biographical history
Olaf Emil Simon was born in East Prussia in 1929 and began learning Kung-Fu at the age of six. During the Second World War, he served briefly in the German Army until his capture by the Soviets towards the end of the conflict. He was sent to Siberia but eventually escaped to Mongolia. In 1960, he emigrated to Canada and opened his first studio in Calgary a year later. Simon was the founder of Simon Kung Fu Studio and a founding member of the Alberta Kung-fu Association. On May 15, 2010 Grand Master Olaf E. Simon was inducted into the Canadian Black-Belt Hall of Fame on the basis of his contributions to the North American martial arts tradition.
