In 2007 Jaedon & I competed in Taiji Legacy International Kung Fu Tournament. These tournaments bring out the best traditiional style Kung Fu Practicioners, Im not talking about Wushu (nothing against wushu..I think it takes A lot of Talent & physical ability to do wushu) But Chin Woo/ Taiji Legacy is designed for traditional Style Chinese Martial Arts..in fact i was watching one guy perform a Eagle Claw routine and he was disqualified, because the judges thought it was to "Wushu Like" the guy was very smooth and FAST but no power behind his moves. My Sifu studied under Shi De Shan (31st Generation Monk) & Grandmaster Fu Leung (Bak Shaolin Eagle Claw Grandmaster..I wont get into the Chinese Grandmaster Eagle Claw Politics..thats another BLOG ) Sifu Karl will push POWER over Speed & Grace. If you guys ever get the chance to go to Taiji Legacy/CHin Woo you will not be disappointed...from the Lion Dance too Prayin Mantis, its a GREAT oppurtunity to see some of the best martial artist around. I also got to meet Master Clarke, his speech was very inspirational, in fact he gave us this speech before we did the contionous sparring. Master Clarke's speech: Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNT3GkgC34s
btw: Jaedon placed 4th in Forms and 10th+ in Sparing.
I did Shao Hong Chaun/Quan and placed 1st And 3rd Place in Continues Sparing.
Ok we were having a Discussion earlier, Trang's Aunt said she was going to buy me some new pants & some new shoes..I asked why? Hahn (Trang's Aunt) said that my shoes were dirty and my pants needing some sewing done to them. Trang smiled and agreed with her. I don't have a problem with them buying me new stuff..but I probably won't wear them :). I love my Cargo pants & Feiyue shoes. So i ask you *for the people who read my blog* whats your favorite pair of shoes? (Post a pic if you can). 1st Pair are custom made for Shi De Shan's Students like me (They have Shaolin printed on them and the tongue has Shaolin Houston Temple Label
Ok guys, as most of you know My son and I study Kung Fu, so Kung Fu is a big part of our lives. Jaedon(my son) and I..at times..can be totally consumed with Kung Fu. Currently we are going through a "Jet Li" Stage..so i wanted to share with you guys a Movie clip/video that is in my opinion Jet Li's Best Work. The movie shows off martial arts choreographer Yuen Woo Ping amazing work.. there is a Fight Scene that Jet Li has with a Staff/Stick that you can tell reflectes Neo's fight (from the Matrix Reloaded) scene with those 100+ Agent Smiths in the courtyard. I highly recommend you guys to watch this movie. The Tai-Chi Master:
My Son Jaedon is my Life & I am deeply in love with my fiance Trang Cao.
