Hi to all! I have been on a couple of other forums similar to this recently but this one is quite extensive and so far I love the topics in the Chinese martial arts. As a way of introduction, I have trained for 31 years in the following Chinese martial arts: Ying Jow Pai northern eagle claw under Sigung Leung Shum, Wudan Nine Bird Shaolin family style under Sigung Ricky Anderson, disciple of Abbot Wang Fui Yen in Hong Kong, and Northern Long Fist/Southern White Crane and Yang Tai Chi under Sifu Jeff Bolt, senior student of Dr. Yang Jwing Ming for 35 years. As you can see, I am a Bird man....LOL!! If it is a bird fighting style, like eagle claw, white crane, etc. I love it. I have also recently been learning Li He Ba Fua or Water Boxing which is the toughest thing mentally I have had to learn at 253 moves and a combo of Hsing-i, Ba Gua, and Tai chi.

I also competed for 18 years, and the last ten years I have been travelling on weekends to judge in national Chinese tournaments. I truly love the martial arts, especially the Chinese derivatives, and my Masters still show me in ways great and small how much I do not know!! I truly understand why this is a lifetime endeavor!! To all, praise our teachers every day, for they have sacrificed much to our benefit!!! I am very glad to come here to share, to learn, and to have fun! God bless!!
