Shi Hengxin solo?

[Hman]

I got these numbers off the russbo forum and tried them this morning. 917-842-2688 or 917-518-3038.

The answering machine picks up for both of the numbers.

If there are any students who study with Shi Hengxin I would love to hear about it.

u guys are ridiculous. Just cuz some guys iz a "monk," it doesnt mean he is good at gung fu or a good fighter. Wake up all of u! STudying with a "monk" wont make u good at gung fu! Hard practice! That's the key!

Never judge others only judge yourself!
Lazy monk student :p

Mortal,
How true. Whats up with this guy? This guy must meditate for a while to regain his balance. Just my opinion.

To all who are interested, I finally began training last sunday with Hengxin. While I was told the first class is free, I felt it only fair to actually pay after I trained. To which I was responded to with sincere gratitude.

From what I saw, the training was hard work coupled with a great atmosphere. For me it was a perfect combination.

I believe that training is a very personal thing. I am not here to degrade anyone or to sing the accolades of others. I have trained in many differnt styles, including Aikido, Jeet Kun Do, Krav Maga, Judo, TKD, and ofcourse, my personal favorite, Shaolin. They all have something to offer and each instructor has something to give. It all depends on what you are looking for. In last sundays class, I personally found a great teacher coupled with my favorite style. And, I have spoken to Hengxin's assistant who has been encouraging and most of all respectful. Her conviction to stay clear of any hurtful comments or bashing in relation to any of the other sifus in the area was a breath of fresh air, and indicitive of her one and only concern. Training.

My only regret is that the class is twice a week. So far I feel that I have found a great teacher and I hope that Hengxin will continue to cultivate my greatest potential with in the art of shaolin. So far so good.

I am sorry but I am not exactly sure how to spell her name. In any event, hopefully you will find your way over to the class sooner than later and find out then.

The word is definitely spreading. Through word of mouth, there are more and more people expressing serious interest in attending the class.

Personally, I have been praying for the week to end sooner so I can get back. Hope to see you sunday.

I had the great pleasure of training with Heng Xin. All I could say is wow. That guy can move. He is young and it shows. His energy level is incredible. I highly recomend his class to anyone who is serious about training. I have trained with other monks in the past. The thing I liked about working with him was the attention. He does every move he teaches over and over at full speed. Other masters stand around shouting orders. He does everything in front of you. He payed attention to every student. More attention then I have ever gotten from any master. I will be training with him again on friday. Looking forward to it.

How is everyone? I have been out of training for about two months because of two herniated disks in my upper back. I am literally craving to get back to class.

What are the latest forms being taught? I learned the five stance form and half of the continuous fist. I am wondering what the next form is called.

If anyone is studying under Heng Xin and would like to keep in touch just keep this post alive.

I hope to hear from someone soon. Since I am laid up, this is my only connection at the moment, and I feel like my oxygen is running out.

Lin Huan Chuan - Continuous Form.
Tone Be Chuan - Penetrating Fist.
There should be a small Lo Han Chuan - but I don't remember.

How are Hengxin's classes going? Has this WTC thing affected him at all? I havent been able to get to his class yet but I will. Is he still teaching on only Fridays and Sundays at 10? Hengxins awesome and I cant wait to start training with him again. I hope everythings going good for him.

Hi everyone, just curious, how much are the classes at 440 Lafayette. I'm on a tight budget but will do whatever it takes if need be. Thanks for any info.

I have heard from some of the more serious students that people who have fallen on hard times will still be welcomed. I am not sure whether that means if there is an agreement that can be worked out or not.

I would suggest going to the class, training and speaking to them about your situation.

I hope that things are going well with everyone and that they actualizing their potential. I look foward to getting back to normal and training again.
