Helen Liang is a noted master and lineage holder. That must be respected. Just because she is a woman does not detract from the respect she is due. To do so dishonors our whole tradition. Would you treat a male master with the same disregard?

As for Helen specifically, almost every guy I know falls under her spell. Kevin and I were just joking about how we could make a fortune running the Helen Liang fan club. She has quite a presence in person. And her videos are some of our top sellers.
