    Ft. Wayne, Indiana Free Seminar

    Saturday, September 11th 2010 at 10 AM
    I will be teaching a free Praying Mantis Kung Fu seminar at Lakeside Park in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Martial artists of all styles are welcome to attend. We will work on the first section of the Diao Fa form, as well as applications and fighting principles.

    Brother,

    Good luck with your seminar!

    Let me know how it went.
    Mouth Boxers have not the testicular nor the spinal fortitude to be known.
    Hence they hide rather than be known as adults.

    The seminar today went very well. Three separate Kung Fu schools were represented with ten participants present. Participants ranged from early beginners to Sifus with decades of experience.

    We trained for two hours in the park during a constant drizzle. No one complained, no one stopped training. We completed the first road of the Diao Fa form and practiced several partner drills taken from the form. We discussed fajing, yin-yang theory and two of the Twelve Keyword Theories.

    Thanks to Sifus Eckart, Glant and Stewart for their participation and for bringing students with them!

    There are two types of Chinese martial artists. Those who can fight and those who should be teaching dance or yoga!

    53 years of training, 43 years of teaching and still aiming for perfection!

    Recovering Forms Junkie! Even my twelve step program has four roads!
