Fellow Kenpoists,
Just recently I was writing a paper for a class about an Archaeologist by the name of K.C. Chang and came across this section of an article that really inspired me to think about how I view my training in the Art of Kenpo.
The article begins by talking about K.C. Chang's mentor, Li Chi, in Taiwain and he explained that Li Chi was a, "...very enlightened man. He did not regard himself as the master and his students as his disciples. He was a team spirit, a faculty spirit, where you try to take the best from each specialty. He believed that you should develope your own style and become your own master."
I just thought I would share those words with everyone. It really reminded me of something you might read or hear from Mr. Parker.
In anycase, I hope all is well and good journey to all!
Respectfully,
Joshua Ryer
