Friends take liberties sometimes I see.
Actually I went there pursuing business ventures and to chill with some some close bro's. I accomplished all of my goals while there, had loads for fun. Made contact with a manufacturer who is willing to produce a large quantity of some unique, custom, balance warrior grade signature pieces to my specification at a reasonable price for a marketing venture I have orchestrated and also just took some time to step back and get some perspective on my life. i will how ever return in March to pursue a series of cultivation exercise that the master agreed to work with me on.
But:
You already knew that since we both know the same people and you got the back story from from my boy before you posted this sh!t.
FYI:
Bro I'm a true life long martial artist, I train dilligently in the disciplines my teacher taught me for the last 30+ years EVERY Fu@king day. Frankly I have yet to see one teacher (especially in China) that could cast a shadow on my teachers skills and insights. Master Yuan, Dawei and Donnie Allen are some of the true exceptions to that rule.
Poseur pics huh?

I love how people always snap back with some Bull Sh!t phrase about Kung Fu morality
The three most common traits surrounding a skilled practitioner from any long term field of of martial cultivation have **** to do with virtue:
Rowdy
Vulger
&
Horney.
All the supposed pious chaste spiritualist I ever witnessed lacked any true martial skills and inna a real life confrontational struggle more times often than not showed the true color of their p*u*ss*y, turned tail and ran....
Sc rew kung fu morality, live life in big gulps, moderation is for monks

Kisu,
Don't take the good nature ribbing so seriously Bro, I don't think Gene was being serious.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
Good pics. Glad that you accomplished you goals.
joy chaudhuri
BTW folks- Kisu's wife is one beautiful person.
hey, don't get me wrong - having studied under several "old school" sifu, I personally have no illusions about the state of things vis a vis the propaganda versus the reality of ethics in the history of TCMA (including present day); I was asking HW108 the question, because he used to excoriate me on my supposed lack of morals as a rationale for how I could not possibly have learned any "r3al kung fu", because any teacher "worth his salt" (and that is a direct quote, I believe) would instantly note my state of wretched amorality and would therefore never teach me anything of worth; as such, given his own purported state of exalted ethicality, I was curious as to how philandering fit into his particular world view, as it seems to be somewhat contradictory to his previously stated moral code; if I am incorrect, I would be curious as to his explanation why it is not inconsistent; that's all;
that aside, I personally have no judgement whatsoever about how someone wants to conduct their marital and extra-marital affairs - while I personally would not do it, if someone does feel compelled to have affairs, their main responsibility is to do it in a way that their spouse NEVER finds out, meaning that they shouldn't talk about it w/anyone, not even close friends - do it, keep your mouth shut, seal all potential leaks; the worst thing they could do would be to conduct themselves in a sloppy manner, leaving loose ends trailing around - typically, these are people who in reality want to get caught, which is just wussified - if u are going to cheat, at least be a man about it, so to speak, and take responsibility for it, including giving up bragging / confessional rights; and even if the spouse is ok w/it, then discretion should still be the watchword;
and, that said, I am still awaiting HW's response...

My choice of words could have been better.
One of the things that has always set me off is when a situation degrades to the point where we are 'just human" then someone who knows nothing of martial art chimes in with "well that's not how a martial art master is s'possed to act".
And they know this how?

no worries; the medium lends itself to the occasional miscommunication...
agreed 100%; we used to joke that the favorite pass time of certain (not all, of course) old school TCMA sifu was "see how far u can screw ur student"; the best was, if u called 'em on it, u got this sheepish grin like, "doh, ya got me; so what?"
my perspective is that, if u had to survive in the Old Country by ur wits, ur skill and luck, it's hard to let those survivalist habits die now that u r teaching people who have grown w/a degree of stability far greater than u had; so in a way, u understand it and let it slide...
