When I was in China I taught English to corporate executives in a petroleum company. They had no idea what martial arts were. Just like in the USA, I think most people in China only know what they...

HKV,
My parents, too, were fighters, and that is why I am who I am. I am white, so I think it is okay for me to question that. In fact, it is a part of my work. I realize the fact that I say "I...

Shaolin,
I am saying that when I studied in China, loyalty meant something different than it does here. I cannot articulate it yet, but I felt it nonetheless. (finding the right teacher, school,...

I hope this fits in this thread without becoming too intelligent of a debate.

This brings up an interesting point that I am doing for my schoolwork: I wonder what it means for a practice to be...

Assuming you mean that we end up in some Road Warrior zone, I would rely on double axes. I would find a place that people did not go often--I am a woodsy survival type--and live.

If after a few...

It is true that I am with Wah Lum. It is an honour, for me, to study under such a strong-minded, knowledgeable and skillfull teacher and practitioner of the system. But any serious...

I would not claim to know the thoughts or feelings of either teacher in either school; I would also say nothing against either, as both demonstrate sincerity in walking the paths of their own study...

I once traveled to watch and participate in a community celebration. To my surprise, there were two kung fu schools to perform at the exhibition. As a sincere student myself, I was excited at the...
