Amazing! It's so often said it takes a lifetime to master, and that only one form can be learned in a year's time, but it's seems from your experience that those conceptions may be more tradition than fact. It's really a pity that good Bak Mei Pai is so hard to come by. I guess if it were being taught everywhere, it'd be watered down like McDojo karate, lol. ****, you're lucky to have been able to go...
I was on the metro earlier, deep in meditation, when a ruffian came over and started causing trouble. He started pushing me with his bag, steadily increasing the force until it became very annoying. When I turned to him, before I could ask him to stop, he immediately started hurling abuse like a scoundrel. I performed a basic chin na - carotid artery strike combination and sent him to sleep. The rest of my journey was very peaceful, and passersby hailed me as a hero - Warrior Man
