Here's my two cents worth... :)

As I was taught it, the sequence consists of Soh Sau with a pivot, followed by Taan Sau as you square-up with the Jong, then Bong Sau with a pivot. You...

Hi Benny,
I post here from time to time, ...when time allows or I feel that I can make a difference :)
Sorry to hear that you were caught up in the floods, ...have you been able to recover okay...

No big deal, Phil, ...just time, motivation and a little hard work. Keep up your studies 'cause you won't regret it - languages (and especially Chinese to guys with our passion for the culture) open...

Ten years already, ...time sure does fly! It only seems like yesterday that we lost you, Sifu. Today I raise a glass to the great times had in your company, to the amazing insights that you shared...
