[QUOTE=Firehawk4;1295943]Do you plain on writeing any more books on Hop Gar or Taibetan White Crane Kung Fu ?[/QUOTE]
Well…I have a number of pieces I originally wrote for the book, but which did not make it into the final copy because the book took a significant turn in a different direction. I was thinking I might publish them in on this website.

Thanks For the vote of support, Billy. I hope your practice is going well and that it helps to turn your attention inward, toward you. Someone once said - when you are you, Kung-fu is Kung-fu.

Mike was one of my first CMA teachers.
His ideas and work would have a long lasting impression on me in my own inner journey
into CMA. In reading the thread I thought some might be interested in some of his latest work.
