    I only read the first post.

    Are you talking about Ng Family Martial Arts in Chicago? They're a good, legit school. My friend is an instructor there.

    These guys: http://www.ngfamilymartialarts.com/

    I don't think you are talking about them, tho, cuz none of the names you mentioned looked familiar.

    No, he was talking about Great Grandmaster John W.L. Ng and his families particular style which also is named "Ng" Family Style.

    Take care, train hard.

    Hi

    Stan from the Twin Dragons school in Byrdstown/Albany. Has been good hearing about you guys. I even found some stuff on you tube with Scott Harris and some others.

    Awesome!

    I met Grandmaster John Ng once. Took a picture with him. Was taught primarily by Scott Harris then by another person (forget his name) and Ricky Pickens. Wished I had kept it up. Can add that to a long list of wishes, ha! Stopped training at Brown sash level, just when I was learning Iron palm and another. Was training snake (Green Bamboo) and learning a higher level snake form. Ohhh, wellll.

    Smile The Master's Servant

    He was born in a family that lived by the Law;
    a perception of truth: he believed what he saw.
    He studied some things as he grew to a man,
    Placing his faith in a personal plan.
    He set out to study the meaning of Dao;
    the more that he learned, he became holier than Thou.
    Intrigued by the world and all of its changes,
    blindly he mastered, not knowing the dangers.
    An ancient world practice called changes of eight
    taught him to turn and not to be straight.
    He went to a place where all this was taught,
    gaining the knowledge for which he had fought.

    He got what he wanted, all the way to the end:
    a will for himself, with no one to depend;
    a concept of truth he thought to be power;
    intimidating others and making them cower.
    Illusion made it seem he was far and not near;
    and before too long, it was all he could hear.
    Acquiring this wisdom, he thought understanding,
    Seemingly gave him more of a standing.
    Using this knowledge to make money and fame;
    when wants not received, he was never to blame.
    He’d created a world in which he was the King,
    and those who did follow, were looking to cling.

    He thought he controlled the direction he’d fated,
    as time lingered on, he became what he hated.
    There once was a time he’d placed value on health;
    eventually things changed, and he focused on wealth.
    Just when he thought that his kingdom would stand,
    the King lost it all from its foundation of sand.
    First went his wealth, his business and family;
    then went his health, his home and his sanity.
    He couldn’t believe that the world he had studied,
    deceived even him, and left him so bloodied.
    Although he had thought that he’d found the true meaning,
    his self-centered ways made life so demeaning.

    As years slowly passed, he lost more of an edge;
    friends that he kept only mocked what he said.
    Promises lost and dreams slowly dwindled;
    a victim of those to whom he had swindled.
    He’d spent his life mastering what he could see,
    but had traveled so far from where he thought he should be.
    A perception of life that he thought a true path,
    made him a captive to his own form of wrath.
    From exalted positions which he had created,
    Now destined to ruin was what he had slated.
    In time it revealed that he’d lived without seeing,
    exposing the truth of a self-centered being.

    Forced in seclusion he learned how to hear;
    and finally faced all the things he had feared.
    Hard for a man who did not know humble,
    to reap the reward of his own chosen stumble.
    Alone now and looking back into his past,
    he attempted to learn what destroyed him at last.
    He saw he had lived as a Martial Arts Master;
    a deception of life which had first spawned disaster.
    Finding it hard to forgive what he’d done,
    he finally felt like there was nowhere to run.
    Held hostage for years by the things that he did,
    he now understood it was what he had bid

    He thought of the love and the joy he had missed;
    His children, their faces and the last time they kissed.
    Tears fill his eyes, but he let them not fall;
    so no one would see, he put up this wall.
    He thought if it showed, they would think he was weak;
    so he built the wall high, to hide and not to seek.
    Full of confusion, he could not see the picture;
    although he’d been told that the truth was in scripture.
    Pain overwhelming, concealed by a grin;
    his denial now weakened, they told him again.
    Turn to a Power that’s greater than thee;
    It’s the only real way to ever be free.

    They told him “Find God; He is the answer”;
    but acceptance wasn’t easy with things such as cancer.
    For these mysteries of life he could not find the truth;
    despite all his searching, there just was no proof .
    Though evidence was there, he hadn’t even tried,
    to turn to the God he’d so fiercely denied.
    He discovered a strength which came out of weakness:
    a love and forgiveness, that makes new, it’s uniqueness.
    He fell to his knees, he wanting to pray;
    but his feelings of shame, made him ponder what to say.
    A great presence he felt, with no explanation;
    then he heard it so clear; the Words as they were spoken:

    You now understand that I am who I am;
    You faith now relvealed that I came as the Lamb.
    I know your remorse for the sins of the past;
    receive now this gift; I’ll shine light on your path.
    My body and blood, remembrance required;
    eternal salvation for you I desire.
    One Body and Spirit, my blood in your veins;
    I suffered for you so you no longer wear chains.
    The debt now is paid, from beginning to last;
    now you are free from the sins of your past.

    His perspective of life, forever now altered;
    misplacing his faith, was where he had faltered.
    Receiving the Spirit, it sets us apart;
    faith is not blind with a wide open heart.
    There are those who will say it’s only opinion,
    but his story of truth, confirms His dominion.
    Now he will knock, to seek, and to find
    the answers to questions confusing his mind.
    For years he’d been lost and defied his Creator;
    if verdict were passed, he’d have died as a traitor.
    He continues to pray, still amazed by his seeing,
    transforming him back from that self-centered being.

    Now servant, not king, life no longer for bidding;
    He’s committed to God is for all of His willing.
    Life now restored with much more than before,
    renewed childhood dreams by a God who is Lord.
    His gifts are experience and knowledge of past,
    and his service to Him gives Him Glory at last.
    So hear the Good News, for this he now preaches;
    study His Word, and keep to His teachings.
    He gives Him his life, his heart, and his soul;
    the Truth and the Light are no longer untold.
    Instead now he shouts to all who will listen:
    life only begins at the moment you’re Christian.

    After many years of studying Eastern culture philosophy and religions- It all came back around to the Truth.

    My study of Martial Arts has been a journey of many years. I got much more than I could have ever imagined.

    I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.
    I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey......
    I asked for health, that I might do greater things.
    I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.....
    I asked for riches, that I might be happy.
    I was given poverty that I might be wise......
    I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.
    I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.....
    I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.
    I was given life, that I might enjoy all things......
    I got nothing that I asked for-
    but everything I had hoped for.
    Despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered-

    Excellent post, John. Peace.

    Greta post john. Yes its me back from the grave I guess you could say. Anyway 5 things.
    1. I'm still teaching
    2. Yes there was a miss up with the last tournament that concerned not the theft of money but a money order that was not sent out for $315.00 that was put into a box of class pictures and cetificates that was packed up when I moved the school from one building to another, It was found later after everything happened. Still got the reciept for it.
    3. i still see Great Grandmaster Ng and he is teaching me certain things that he didn't teach me before. He is and will always be my teacher and little father.
    4. I read all the post from years gone by. How we all fought on here and argued. Dr. Ng taught me a long time ago something that people never see even when it is in front of thier eyes. Even my eyes never saw it until several years ago. This is why I haven't been on here. he taught me no matter what people do or say about you everyone is correct in there own way because we dodn't see things the way they do doesn't make them wrong in thier belief. So with this I apologize to all that I have said things against. In and out of the Ng Family Style.
    5. Remember respect and honor each other for one day we may have to stand together against a common enemy for all of us to survive.

    As I read the old post it seems the arguing started between us over a tournament in lexington. Everyone remebers different things about it. Everyone has thier oewn side to it. One day in the great great future a video tape of the tournament may be showed but for now I will keep it where it has been for the last 15 years, put up with the other things that Dr. Ng ask me to keep and hold on to until the time is right.


    Peace and Honor to all.

    And we'll see you all at tournaments for fellowship.
