Does anyone know if John Chang is still teaching 8 step in San Jose. I am originally from Buffalo and now I live in San Francisco. I was studying and teaching 8 step for 20 years. I broke away from my former Sifu and his organization 6 years ago. I’d like to know if there’s any information out there and where I could contact him. Thank you. ---

Dragonball, I saw your posting the other day. John (Jia-Hwang) Chang is a good friend and has been my sifu for about 8 years now. He has been in Taiwan for over a year now with his work. He does occasionally come back to visit a couple of weeks at a time, where just a few of us students do hands-on with him. If you would like to contact him, I could give you the options of how to get in touch with him if you like. My e-mail address that Baldmantiz was kind enough to pass on in his post is correct if you would like to contact me. It would be nice to chat with you sometimes, since I would like to find out more about your lengthy term of mantis study. I am sure that you must have some interesting information! Take care, Bokfu ---

one where you had to beat up a lot of people…revenge…a hero story. One where you had to be tricky and humble, a hamlet moment of indecision, action. If it could follow the chinese 5 element cycle emotionally and sensually with taste smell, touch, hearing and sight, that would be nice too… please ---
