ok…so we have ‘cosmic chi center’ that is totally hippie’d out the ass and claims they follow the Tao but in the above statement totally disregards the primary tenet of Taoism…do they not? I mean, I’m certainly not the perfect taoist…but, of course, there really is no such thing…in as much as I am the perfect taoist but absolutely not at the same time.
If, when you move, he comes over and offers you brownies as a kind of welcome to the neighborhood thing. don’t eat the brownies. those darn hippies put that marijuana in them. instead mayube you should do a preemptive i am in town good will thing and bring him some pecan pie…[SIZE=“5”]PECAN PIE OF DEATH!![/SIZE]
actually, I’m going to rip all the email addresses they have kindly provided me with for my own marketing purposes…taoism at work, baby!
If the school is close to the TKD and Chi center, you may have more students from these sources, too.
I’m hoping so.
We are cheesing out a bit on our latest flyer and the ad we’re going to take out in a city wide parenting mag

and the formatting doesn’t carry over either.
watcha think? a little cheesy but i got to do something to get people in besides ‘it’s hard work, you’ll sweat, get some bruises and no, there is no real guarantee you will succeed at this…it all depends on you’
“‘it’s hard work, you’ll sweat, get some bruises and no, there is no real guarantee you will succeed at this…it all depends on you’”
Truth in advertising not working out for you? Eh, that’s why I hate the marketing aspect of running a school. I’m not a salesman so I’ll probably never teach officially. I’d just rather punch and kick and keep to myself.
well, I think it’s worked with the last couple of guys to come in.
both of them asked me why I only had a few students…I started to try some BS but instead told them that it was because we’re not giving anything away, you have to work for it and it don’t come easy.
both of them signed up for our 3 month program…as in pay 3 months in advance for a discounted price.
Well not totally isolated. Just not dealing with the stresses of having a school and teaching students en mass. You need to have good work-out partners and teachers to help push you to get better.
For me, we opened the school, and I was supposed to teach my stuff a few nites a week, but once that was inplay, I found myself hopeing NOT to get any students. I didn’t, but I still help teach the Taiji classes.
During the Hung Gar class after, however, I tend to go off by myself, to my own little corner, and work on my Tai Tzu stuff mostly.
walk up to the head hippy and slap him in the mouth. as soon as you tries to speak slap him again and shove him to the ground. hover over him until he cowers like a beaten dog and then releive yourself on him. slowly scan his students one by one and take your leave.

Never judge a book by its cover.. i know some mighty mean folks that might be mistaken for “hippies”..
Well, I think you did a good job on both ripping his e-list and recuiting new members.
My Dao is very simple - Eat (racks of lamb), Drink (vintage red), fight Men (by the way of no fighting) and flirt & … with Women (hardcore!). Oh forget, die a happy man with no regrets. You can name it the Way of Eat Drink Men Women or the Fist of No Regrets! LOl…
I think it was Bruce Lee who said “I have nothing to teach because there is no method and there is no way, what’s to teach?” and I particularly agreed with him that only through the realization of our ignorance that we’ll learn the proper way.
I think you have found your way when you decided not to give BS speech to sign up new student. You made a moral decision rather than a financial one. Acting in conscience, how much more in accordance with the Dao can that be, my friend?
I don’t ever judge a book by it’s cover…but, crap still smells like ****.
You know the reason I spout about disliking hippies? Because, at least in this neck of the woods…I have only run across more hypocrisy in one other social group…martial arts teachers.
my case against this guy’s statement was in the original post…he claims to be able to explain the unexplainable…****ing hogwash.
you may try, I may try but, if we’re honest…we only say that we are trying.
LOL, and what JP said.
and, dayum, what my friend Robert said…that was great.
on one sense, I don’t want to do this…erghsdhshjdsljfd;lkj…ok, my conscious just won out again…the email that contained the quote had this pic of this dude that I just want to post and go {in my best Cartman voice}
‘wha’…I…mean…just look at him’
I think I’ll send it to GDA though, he’ll get a kick out of it with his slap him in the mouth.
http://www.artsofliving.com/ Hey OSO. is this what you are referring to? LOL if in fact it is i can see what you are talking about. i wanna attend the “big dipper” ceremony:rolleyes:
“”“The Big Dipper ceremonial form is a way to connect with the Big Dipper, and therefore its functions. In doing so, we may strengthen our life energy, release disease, and strengthen our jingqishen to transform our bodies with the Dao, forming spirit. This is the way of immortality. By connecting with the energies of the Big Dipper and understanding the functions of those energies, we are able to better understand our own life path in terms of karma and allow for change”“”"
Well i definately want to get more “IN TOUCH” with MY " Big dipper" hehehehe
This is also an interesting seminar: hehehe
“”““July 8th-9th Saturday and Sunday Morning “Meridian Chi-Kung” and afternoon “The Origin of Man/Woman and the Art of True Love Making”, $233 (or $144 for morning or evening only) Cosmic Chi Center, Swannanoa””“”(KY and Astroglide provided)
