Dear doc,
Hi. First off I don't mean to waste your time. I know you probably get this a lot but I will still ask. I am sixteen years old and want to go to China for an extended period of time (5+ years). The only thing is that I only have $4000 a year to spend on training, a place to stay, food to eat and other necessities. I am interested in going to Shi De Cheng Wushu Center and was asking if you could try to negotiate this price for me since you know him. If you could do this it would be much appreciated but I understand if you can not. Either way thank you for you time and please email me back. I hope you can for it would put me one step closer to achieving my life goal of becoming a disciple. I don't want to become a disciple for the title of being a Shaolin Disciple or for the fame. I want to become a disciple to help myself evolve to my full potential and most of all to help cherish and honor a tradition that was handed down to me. Once again I appreciate your time for even reading this email and am sorry if I wasted you time.

I do get this a lot, lol. No problem.
I suggest that you do one thing first. IN the web site, under Shaolin Topics, is a thread about training in Shaolin versus going to college. Read it.
Second, with respect to training, Shi De Cheng is here with me in Las Vegas. Should be here for a good part of the year. There are other schools in china that you can go to, but, traveling to china is not easy. There's lots of information in the forum and the web site; I suggest that before you make any plans, that you start reading.
I can help get you to China, after you read up on all of this.
Take care,
doc
Doc,
It is me xxxxx xxxxx again. Thank you for responding to my email. I have read what you suggested and have read even more of your site and others than I had before. I live in xxxxx and am graduating from xxxxxxt in May of 2004(if everything goes right). I realize that traveling to China is not easy. I also realize that it is usually hard to make a good living off of martial arts. The fact that I won’t have a big house or lots of money is not why I like it. Like many others, I too have this unexplainable passion for the martial arts and want to learn as much as possible even if it means having a very low lifestyle. I have done research on the types of visas and how to obtain them. I have also read on your site about the traveling and how involved it is. I was wondering how long Shi De Cheng was going to be here. If he is going to be here past June of 2004, I would like to go to attend at a different school I found out about on your sight, Shi Yan Zheng’s school. I have viewed the video of it and read the forum on it. I have no concrete plans yet but would like to go to China in July.Once again thank you for your time. Amitabha.

I understand your desire. Trust me on this. But, there is more to life than learning gong fu. I strongly suggest that you spend a few months in China, learn what you can, then go to college.
You have the rest of your life to learn gong fu. You don't have the rest of your life to develop an education and a career.
