Shang Hai, But first you must understand something about me... My mother is not a Chinese. Just my father. I have brothers and sister, but they are only half because they half different fathers. My parents divorced when I was young. I like China and this side of my family. My mother's family is all living near to each other in Illinois. So, I moved here as well, I got together with an old Gong Fu brother of mine and we opened a school together. That's why I'm staying here. But as I said in the last post, I have a fiancee in Shang Hai still. So, I will go back sometime soon. It will just take a while to get her to USA. I want to keep my school here. I don't want to move because my students already asked me not to move away.
No, I haven't trained with any Shao Lin in USA. But I plan to visit them. I am friends with some of Shi Yan Ming's disciples out in NY. Right now, it's fine with me just to teach. "You learn most from teaching". I believe this sentence. I enjoy it and learn much more on my own now. I think there is a time when you can stop training with a master and go on your own to develope more and learn more from what is inside you. You may really surprise yourself with how much you can learn just on your own. But as the Chinese saying goes "Huo dao lao, xue dao lao". Means, live until old, learn until old. Shao Lin is endless, the mind is endless, so my learning is endless.
