Im looking for some help.
A good friend of mine would like to learn as well include his children in the Philipino martial arts.
Partly for their effectivness and partly to include them as part of their heritage. He married into a Philipino family.
I told him I would do some...
A busy June ahead with demos at a car show, a huge event called the extravaganza in East Hartford this Saturday , and an on-field demo at the Rock Cats baseball game on June 27th! We also have the entire theater rented out for the re-make of the karate kid movie. Back to Fitchburg, MA at the end...
You should find a way to compete outside the US where they will allow all competitors to compete with old fart rules or junior safety rules.
Just wanted to put it out, a new Chinese Shao Lin Center has opened in Fort Collins Colorado.
We are currently offering 1 month free to try out shao lin.

I have found that the forms of the different arts that I have trained in, have a great amount of purpose.
In the beginning most students either find the form they are taught to be " realy cool" or " a Grand Waste of time" .
I'm speaking here to the group of people that believe forms work is...
We had a great seminar with over 30 people in attendance. I have been invited back to continue working on the curriculum. Look for the next seminar within the next couple of months. After that the next big road trip will be a seminar in Montgomery County PA!
This is something that came to me fairly recently, and it was sufficiently eye-opening that I thought it would be worth writing a couple of words about. If you have been following my blog, you'll have read this post, where I explain that my tai sabaki were improved by genuinely standing relaxed...
Today was demo d-day. I woke up, fairly nervous in anticipation of having to perform in public. Granted, my part was fairly limited: 1) initiate attack 2) get *** kicked. 3) repeat 10 times
I arrived way ahead of time, just like everyone else and in the background we rehearsed the entire demo...
I will be teaching the entire Modern Arnis curriculum over a series of many seminars in Northern MA starting on May 1st! These are closed sessions to the school, however, if you are interested I may be able to invite you as a guest. 30 - 40 participants are expected. Also, Black Belt Modern...
My observation on distance has been that manipulation plays the most dominating factor at long range.
Our ability to adapt with the least amount of expended energy is of vital Importance
& can only be fully understood by deep contemplation!
The past weeks I spent quite some time prepping my garden for spring: de-mossing, fertilizing, repairing the bald patches grass, ... etc. But now that the weather is turning nice again, I am ready to enjoy the fruits of all that labor: outdoor training!
Yesterday the sun was shining when I...
At the end of April, my dojo will do a demo of ninpo and jujutsu. Since I am in the demo team, I have to train for that as well as for my next kyu exam. Mind you, my task in the demo is quite simple.
I have to attack my partner who is a black belt. He will then perform several interesting...
First night at Wah Lum training and it was good to be back.
Naturally, I was instructed when to bow and how to salute, how to tie my sash and shown several things unique to the school: Location of lineage, locker room, image of the Grandmaster. These details took about five minutes.
The...
Second day with the patch. That's going well. I began training tonight. The time of beginnings has come to a close.
The cash for my WoW account hit the bank this morning. This afternoon, I complete my contract with the Wah Lum school I spoke with last week. I'm pleased by the way this has transpired...being able to get some cash for my account and having that finance my training. Very nice karma feel to it...
Sunday morning and there's a cold rain falling. I went to sleep last night with my cigarettes on my nightstand and woke, this morning, to the chilly March weather. Nonetheless, I held that partial pack under the faucet until the were soaked through, drained the excess water and threw them out...
