    End of an Era-Returning to Taiwan

    After teaching in the states for nine years I will return to Taiwan and teach there once again.
    Saturday, yesterday, was my last class in the school and it now is officially under the operation of my students. They should be making updates soon.

    Wishing you the best in Taiwan. Are you going to Tainan?

    I left Taiwan (Taipei) 22 years ago and still miss it sometimes.

    Thanks,
    Yes returning to Tainan city.
    My students at the First Boys High School. I really liked that the high school allowed me to let the kids learn some two person punching and kicking drills (well, I didn't ask for permission). At the end of the year the first and Second Boy's High School got together for a sparring competition. Looking back through the clarity of hindsight, I should have developed that more than I did. But it was a great start.

    Funny the line "Mantis never returns home."
    Sounds like you have heard the stories.

    I got a tingling last year that it was a time to live in Taiwan. The reasons are many, my mantis senses didn't mislead.

    Thanks for your reply, that sounds good.

    .......

    Does your teacher still have an umbrella name Peng Lai Martial Arts?
    Do you know of this group:

    Southern White Crane Teacher in Tainan Hong Guo Rong ?

    Peng Lai Martial Arts Blogspot

    Nothing has been mentioned of the reformed outlaws who pursued him. They were Men and Women working in the service of the Manchurian emperor.
    That would make a great storyline for an iconoclastic film. Wasn't the style of the Qing Dynasty Manchurian bodyguard Tibetan White Crane?
