Thank you Ray Walters and Nyle for endorsing us in Martial Arts

and Wellness at Linkedin. It is great to hear from you Ray. Been a long

while. Many of the old timers like Reid, Dwight and Patrick ask about

you.

Workshop on Push Hands has stimulated several questions. This weekend is

our Push

Hands Workshop , we will be working fundamentals of framework,

alignment, sensing and intention. I look forward to it.

The Pumpkin Carving is this weekend too, I am here all day, so bring it

when you ready :)

Hop Gar Video Trailor

The Hop Gar Trailor I recently put out on Facebook, Vimeo,

DailyMotion

and Youtube,

was a fun project I put together over the weekend. I took several photo

I had of myself and others practicing Hop Gar around 1992 at the Golden

Dragon resturaunt.

There was about 5 of us that regular rotated

in full contact beat downs out on the asphalt. Hot asphalt is a GREAT

way to teach you to move and stay on your feet to fight.

Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, Oct 27, 1995

I had already another topic laid out and the memory came back. Not sure

what triggers it, but it is a solemn reminder to practice and live

strong.

Being a dad now, the memories are even more intense.

Oct 27 1995, Normal Day, My office was down the hall from new Outpatient

Entrance, Fast access to hospital. Then the alert :

The alert calls every hospital staff to ready themselves for a massive

casuality. And it started coming. The army hospital was taking people,

and Cape Fear was next. Every one was moving, blood, oxygen takes,

blankets, guazes, you name it, we were getting it. Some people were

already starting to cry, because their relatives could be one of the

fallen heading our way.

Unarmed Soldiers Overtake Sniper

Group men Special Forces of the took to forest, armed with Nothing.

flanked, fought and secured. tshirts and shorts.

I was moving through the Crying of victims, crying of families, crying

of staff, stretchers, and responding to orders.

"We may not all agree on the politics that are involved, but I encourage

you to agree on supporting those young men that put their lives on the

line, both abroad and at home to provide us with the freedom to be happy

and to complain."

Get out today, practice, remember someone. If you were any way

associated with the events of that day and hear my message today. I

would like to hear from you. If there is anything I can do, I will.

Resources For Today :

The only resources I want to list for this episode is :

"I support and ask you to contribute a couple dollars to the Wounded

Warrior Project. I wrote them the following :

I am releasing a podcast this wednesday, Oct 22, 2014 to our growing

community. It is in regards to my involvement in the Oct 27,1995

shooting on base. I will be asking listeners today and for years to come

to donate directly to the Wounded Warrior Project.

I just wanted

to let you know :)

Chinese Martial Art Curriculum

Often we are asked about an Overview of what we do here. Over the course

of years I was trained in many styles and understandings. All the

systems point back to the same root, you.

You practice Kung Fu not to perfect a style, but to master yourself.

Regardless of your reason for practice, this will show up.

This takes time to grasp in your heart, but then the understanding that

it is all the arts "two hands and two feet" really resonates.

Principles that Drive the Curriculum : www.tibetankungfu.net/curriculum

During the process we will teach you and show you how every system and

style originates from:

* All movement begins in the seed of stillness

* Training of the mind always precedes training of the body

* 3 directions of your centerline

* 8 expressions of movement

* combining these and changing whether they are practiced bilaterally,

or in various directions all alter the one original expression

Students of the kwoon and many of the private students begin with

foundational processes of calming, centering, self awareness and health.

They venture from there. Occassionaly a student wants to begin on a

particular path, like Yang

Tai Chi or Ba

Gua and they explore from there.

Too much Desire or Not Enough? How do you find the sweet spot between wanting and obsession? Kung Fu has been working on it for centuries.

Powerful Life Force 2 : Belonging. It’s essence has numbers of techniques. Click, congregation, gang, team, group, click and many others. It really reveals its power when it comes into Family, Love and Relationship.

This has derailed good Kung Fu and Tai Chi Training perhaps more than any other force that I have seen over the years.

Identify all the faces of Belonging,

Get a collar and leash on this powerful force.

In this podcast I will share some personal stories, how I was taught to ask questions about it, to get the power closer.

Thank you for signing up and leaving a review. It means a lot to me :)
