Thanks, one of my American friends will soon move to Oslo for good.

He is looking for a "Small Frame" teacher though.
I will speak to him about the place.

Cheers.

Hello Baji-Fist

Nice, very nice, article you wrote (won't mention magazine's name since its in direct competition with Gene's).

Your Kungfu brother Byron has spent the last 4 days with us and its been a real pleasure.

Hope you are doing weill and don't forget about the seminars in August. Tony will travel to Alaska.

Train well.

Glad to hear from you my friend! Thank you for your kind words in regards to the article. It has been 20 years since anything was written on Sifu Wong. A lot has happend since then so I decided to write an updated version.

I am sad to say that I will not be able to head over to Alaska this year to see Yang lao shi. I am still trying to get on my feet here in Oslo, but I may plan to pay a visit to Ohio sometime in the future with my wife. Please send my regards to Yang lao shi and keep in touch!

Wondering if there's any Ba Gua in Oslo? I travel there once a year or so and would like to hook up with some people to train...

Hey Kempo Guy,

Nope, there is no bagua peeps here. Authentic wushu is very hard to find here in Oslo (if there is any at all).

Hey Bmantis!!! How is everything with your training? Thanks for the kind words. Still haven't seen the article yet. We are like twomonths behind here- Hit me up with an email. BaldMonk and Uncle has my email address.

My training is going pretty good. Its been warm outside so I've been practicing outside motst mornings. I've been going to Monday and Wednesday classes with Sifu and Saturday morning classes with BaldMonk out in Eagle River. If I'm having a really good week, I'll hit the Friday classes at the school, too; but I haven't been for a week because of mid-terms at UAA. I just finished my Human Anatomy and Physiology mid-term. It was a b@%#@!! But I think I did pretty good. How are you doing? Did you have your wedding already? Did you find a place to train yet? Well, anyway, I'll get your e-mail from BaldMonk and write more later.


"Not all who wander are lost"


"In ward-off, roll-back, press and push,
Use purpose with every action.
Support every part of the body in motion with another part;
This way there will be no "opening" to let your opponent attack you.
If your opponent uses force against you,
Use four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds.
Lead your opponent in and allow him to lose his balance.
Yield and assert at the same time.
Do not forget to use the techniques of zou and nian."
