Thank you. I apreciate the kind sentiment.

With me, it's just that I always enjoyed martial arts and think I can learn most things pretty quickly though a few internal things have given me challenges and take some time.

My attitude is that I'm young and single and not a face-to-face professional (I'm a writer) and since I'm not scared to fight and have a really good teacher I should push myself to get good and demonstrate to those who don't believe in Chinese fighting principles that we can at least hold our own. Not saying we're better, just want recognition that we're different.

Also, you always hear MMA and BJJ players ask, "well, where's all the video .... where's the proof." I'm in the very humble beginning stages of my internal training and of my mission, but I am slowly compiling this video proof and gaining experience.
