Shaolin Warrior Monk Shi Decheng Seminars
Yep, it's on me - THE BIG FOUR OH - and I'd like to invite you all to my party. Seriously, when does a forum moderator get a chance to do this? Of course, my birthday party will be a little different - such is the privaledge of beign an Associate Publisher.
My Shaolin monk master Shi Decheng, along with my Shixiong (another monk) Shi Xingwei, will be giving three special seminars at my other Shifu's school, Master Tony Chen's USA O-Mei Kung Fu Academy, right here in Fremont, CA on February 27 & 28 (the 28th is my birthday - I was just hours away from being a leap year kid). For more information, click here! Shi Decheng is an excellent teacher - he has taught all over the world to all levels of students. Whether you are a rank beginner or a seasoned veteran of Shaolin Kung Fu, I'm sure you'll get something out of these seminars. I hope you all can make it.*
* I hope I can make it. I haven't had a lesson under Decheng since 2001 and now that I'll be 40, I'm sure I'm in for a butt-whuppin' :eek:
not that kind of spanking...
...this is the monk that named my kid so it'll be a G presentation, kind of the way Bugs Bunny spanks Daffy Duck, not the way you'd probably like to spank Paris Hilton. But we digress.
For you SF Bay locals, or any visitors at the time, come on down for some traditional Songshan Shaolin Kung Fu. Instead of party favors, you'll leave with really sore legs. :cool:
Cool shaolinlueb, we're watching out for you.
BTW, here's another link that promotes the seminars - click here - Tiger Claw Foundation, our non-profit org, is the primary local promoter. All the profits will go back to the monks.
Monkeyslap for year of the monkey!
That would be great. So far we've only one person from the forum that has actually signed up. It's always good to see more forum members in the flesh.
BTW, I should mention that this is being coordinated by our non-profit branch, Tiger Claw Foundation, so the money is going directly to the monks and their expenses for their visit. It's my birthday, so it's my charity. :cool:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!GENE CHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Fellow Fish-man
You're still a young whipper-snapper next to me.
40--What a baby!
Oops, I forgot...sensitive fish-person.
I'll make like a fish and disappear.
Many blessings to you and your family.
Thanks for the good wishes!
Hope some of you locals can actually make the party! We'll forego the cake and the pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey for mabu and monkey-steals-the-peach. ;)
Well it's not my birthday this time, but...
Shi Decheng is coming for another seminar, this time with his brother, Chen Qingsheng, China's national sanda champion in 1994. We're doing the seminars this weekend at the USA O-Mei Kung Fu Academy, but it'll be at the San Leandro branch, not the Fremont one. The seminars are next weekend - Jan 8-9, 2005 - for more info, go to our non-profit site, the Tiger Claw Foundation.
OMG! Did Gene's first compliment me on my carpet eating last year and I missed it? I don't know what to say to that...
Yep, he's quick on the web...
We've been swapping emails this morning to finalize the details. Shaolin email - where would we be without it?
