I've been looking for Bak Mei in my city, Boston. Two people who teach the style, Larry Wong of Nam Pai in Chinatown and Wayne Chin of God knows where - don't teach it. I should say, they're not accepting students, so I'm told. I heard that through Larry Wong about Sifu Chin. Nam Pai charges $90 a month for five days a week, but not in Bak Mei, not sure when it's taught but it's not five days a week - you have to pay that cost for everything you don't want to learn whether you study for an hour with him or every day during th week. If you don't live in Boston or work there - too bad, no exceptions. Wayne Chin - who knows?
I'm told it's a "Chinese thing" not to teach the public, which I think is crap. Nam Pai does teach but they won't admit to what until you pay for everything whether you don't need it or want it. I think it's not wanting to teach women or those that don't earn enough to line your pocket. I'm a good student, loyal, I don't want to start a school - I just love martial arts. Why do you suppose people act like bastards without even taking a moment to meet you to decide if you're worth it?
Rant off......
