Yep, that's how we (the TC Media/Kungfu Qigong Crew) are spending the last work day before vacation, with qigong master Tu Jin-Sheng, the master I wrote the Iron pen!s article for in our Sep/Oct 2001 issue. We even have to work late. The sacrificews we make for you readers. But I got to admit, this guy is outrageous. He just hung 90 large iron rings off his, uhh, horse stance - that's over 170 lbs. He also painted a stunning Tamo standing on raw eggs without breaking them. Beyond his qigong stunts, I must say his kungfu is quite powerful. We got to see him bust a few moves, empty hand and with staff and some assorted weapons. This guy's got qi!

More on him later, and this is by overwhelming popular request, so this will give you all something to post about over the vacation. To me, this holiday has a heavy redemption vibe, so here's hoping we all awaken like Scrooge on Xmas day.
