It was tiring…Lesson #1 of the day was: No more 4 hour open houses!
Thanks for all the help and next year I’m gonna have the after demo food and drinks catered. 
Metal: thanks for that last dance, I know you guys were beat. btw, B has talked about almost nothing else but her experience working with you. Thanks for jumping in to fill a hole in the ranks.
someone taking pics that day already has a disc for me so hopefully I’ll have some to show in a day or two.
Congratulations and Thanks
Congratulations on the official grand opening, Oso. I am glad to see that you have a very positive group of students, and a good place for all of you to train. 
Also, thanks for having us over to assist you with the grand opening of your school. I was honored to do so, and look forward to visiting and training with the rest of my gongfu brothers and sisters in the future. Hopefully, you will be able to come to Nashville soon, and train with us. We would be happy to have you over. 
Take Care!
Congratulation on your open house success, Best of luck.
Happy New to everyone,great time to be getting things started.
Well. We’re going to have a dinner together tonight. After that we’ll propably go to a bar and get drunk 
Hopefully I won’t be too hung over because we’re starting a 4 day seminar tomorrow. Shi-xiong Marcin Kara from polish praying mantis kungfu society is coming to teach us. Talking about a kick start for the new year!
Oso, Thanks for the words Bro, just took a little reflexion of Tainan to keep up the ability… Tell B to keep it up and I shall see her in the future, ciao…
Just wanted to (on the day) wish everyone a Happy New Year… The year of the Wood Rooster… A new cycle begins for us Monkeys… Best wishes to all, Peace…

Is Tainan your instructor? It sounds like you have alot of respect for him. It is not often you hear a student mention thier instructor as inspiration. He seems like he is very knowledgable from his posts on this forum.
I noticed on your profile that you are in Nashville. I did not realize that tainan was located there. I may be planning a trip there in the furture. Do you think it would be possible to stop in and get some info on MA history? It seems he is vell versed in this area
thanks

Yu shan is metal’s shrfu., tainan is our kung fu uncle. Yes tainan is very knowledgable and he lives in taiwan. Shrfu Jim is in Nashville so you can look him up.
Would probably be respectful to mention your shrfu also but you know the younger generation.
Thanks 18.
I got confused by the posts. I wasnt sure who was teaching where.
I understand. I have had cases of kung fu uncle worship in my school. Usually leaves me feeling like crap.
Its seems he is just as fortunate to have yushan as a teacher. From his posts it sounds like he knows his stuff. I will try to hook up with yushan on my travels if possibe. You guys do pong lai, right? Guess I should bring my forearm pads
Geez Louis…
Sayloc, I had the fortune of spending some time in Tainan the city over the summer. It was kinda a double meaning. As in my time spent there with both Master Shr and my Uncle Tainan… Feel free to contact my Shrfu Yu Shan. We are always open to people and would love to get to meet you…
18 elders, my inspiration from and respect for Yu Shan I believe is understood by him. He has done more for me in the world of MA than I could have ever asked. He is my Shrfu. I was there for him, to support him, to show my thanks with effort and reverence, to help the grand opening of a school that he is the mentor to…
…Peace…
