Hello everybody, it’s been a while since my last entry.I guess it’s because I’ve had nothing interesting to share.Today is no different, so I decided to pick out something from my past that might be of interest.Before fighting for the camera, I spent my days fighting in front of the mirror at my father’s martial arts school in Chicago.While on vacation last year, I decided to put together a small reel of some of the stuff that we did at the school.This gave the students and instructors there a chance at the “youtube” limelight and I believe it was a good way to help promote our little academy. I was also hoping that the bits of sparring and mitt work in the clip would give us an opportunity to show others in the martial arts community that traditional Chinese martial arts are not just for show and can be used for combat.Most of the senior members of our schools have fought successfully in full contact tourneys around the US.
As for other things, my life is going well.Have an overseas movie project starting soon, it’s all hush-hush, but I promise to sneak some info on here as soon as we start rolling.Also, in a few days I will have grown exactly a year older than I was on the 16th of last year, leave a message and give me some love
Excellent idea to showcase the academy, not only does it show off the skills of the fighters, but it also promotes the school too.
Have a nice birthday tomorrow.
Happy Belated! My birthday is also on the 16th. It's such a nice number and our birth number, 7 is a mystical number. Yes, I should trust my gut. One good thing - it prompted me to sign up for a self-defense course starting next Tues. Supposed to be good for real life situations. I was accosted on a subway platform in a nice neighborhood in NYC and I was beating the guy on his shoulder with my umbrella. Even then, I was being "polite". The cops said that I should have gone for his throat (with my fingers) even though it would be fatal. I have to train to let go of that niceness, I guess.
It's cool to see little kids doing martial arts. I live by a school and always stop to watch them. Hope you can share some details on this new project soon. Enjoy your birthday!
Best wishes from another September baby! Actually saw that video before on YouTube, but didn't know it was your dad's school. Nice job! I've put together some for mine. You can check them out here, if you're interested: www.sfwushu.net/gallery.html
