“THREE KINDS OF DISCIPLES”
A Zen master named Gettan lived in the latter part of the Tokugawa era. He used to say:
“There are three kinds of disciples: those who impart Zen to others, those who maintain the temples and shrines, and then there are the rice bags and the clothes-hangers.”
Gasan expressed the same idea. When he was studying under Tekisui, his teacher was very severe. Sometimes he even beat him. Other pupils would not stand this kind of teaching and quit. Gasan remained, saying:
“A poor disciple utilizes a teacher’s influence. A fair disciple admires a teacher’s kindness. A good disciple grows strong under a teacher’s discipline.”
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Beset with a thousand disquietudes,
I chanced upon an old woman fishing under the shady cool of creeping willows.
I wanted to ask her my thousand questions regarding the sun, moon and the creation of the universe and my purpose in life and oh so many more,
She placed her fingers on her lips: Fish are rising.
So I stood there and watched.
The freckled river shimmered with flashes of light like scales of an anaconda.
Clouds drift and tugged the blue horizon with their thick, silken strands;
Shadows of the willow grove deepened.
I felt my questions draining away.
Finally, as she slowly reeled in her line, I laughed as I saw that the line was without a hook.
How does one catch fish without a hook? I wondered.
As she turned to go, I know that tea is ready and I am invited.
Following behind her light, drifting footsteps, a gentle breeze combs through the willow branches,
I catch fragments of their whispering: A big one she caught.

Great class for those attending!!! The “LOCK UP” has all the components of “CHI SAO” fighting appellations built into it!!! This helps you “LEARN” from your mistakes!!! Lots of “FOOTWORK” to put you where you need to be in a fight!!! Sometime we forget but the “DRILLS” help you to remember!!!
If you cannot relax when you are just doing the drills in training mode – you are going to be tense as fuugg when it’s GO time. Chill out.

Although saying, “Amazing February seminar SiGong”, that , to me, doesn’t really convey the magnitude of what took place.. especially on Sunday. Starting the seminar with Q&A, then moving to the Jong’s ‘feeding’ pressure, the hidden meaning at the end of 101, spring vs. shock, why the last gan is a cut and not a push, Sticky Hands chi-sau, criss-cross drill, why the fook runs, and more. But, for those who weren’t there on Sunday, Doc started the day answering one of my questions by Opening his personal notebook from 1970-2000, and saying to us all, “Here, copy what interests you.”, and handed his notebook over.
You read it correct! This book included his notes on everything, from weapons, diagrams, and equipment that I didn’t know existed [Dao Jong?]. We then went over to the Tripodal’s and worked on both, the smaller and the giants, finishing up with techniques from the advanced gan-sau drills.
It’s why I travel 16 hours.. even with my limited training here. Arrogant, manipulative training partners end up getting evicted anyway.
Great training with our pai. Thanks Doc, and thank you Bobby SiFu, for the run of your place. Hope to see you next time.
Its lunchtime. Going up to the Chinese restaurant and remind the waitress it’s the year of the Cock. 🙂
Thanks SiGong doc for another great seminar. I came away with a deeper understanding of “relax”. Good training with everyone. Looking forward to doing it again soon.
This was the one you wanted to be at! Thank you Sigong for the wisdom! And I do hope everyone else was paying attention to the concepts that we learned. Look beyond the pages!! Todd great training as always! Great to see fam Sifu Jay, Smiley, Shane and Nathan miss you guys!! I had a blast!
Thank you SiGong for a great seminar! I’ll be chewing on the information and insights you shared for years.
Shane

Ok!!! I will be holding a seminar January 27-28-29, 2017.
In Holt, Fl. for those of you who missed December seminar!!!
Thanks.
Damn.. first Fla. seminar I missed in two years.
I was looking forward to seeing you guys and finally training with a human body, again. From what little I gleaned from the comments on Jut Sup, I am soo envious!
But.. crap happens, or as the Bible says, “Time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all.” -Eccl 9:11-
A small fender-bender, at the wrong time, is expensive..
Hope to see you fellow brothers, soon!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
A big thanks to SiGong Doc for another great seminar. I got some good ” out of the box thinking ” and deeper understanding of a lot of concepts. Nice training with everyone that showed up. Thanks Aiden for some helpful insights. Thanks Bobby for a place to train. Again, thanks Doc for not holding anything back and teaching it as it was meant to be tought. Time to go practice my forms with new eyes. Later
Wow! This was an awesome seminar! Todd was so on point with his observations that every time you do the forms, watch the videos you learn something new, something you didn’t see before! ITs the same every time SiGong Doc goes over the basics once again, you find yourself thinking…”Wow, I just learned something new about that all over again!” Once again I found I had been deceived by the Rose, but thankfully was shown the truth and had that corrected to!
SiGong Doc, thank you for all the lessons! Bobby, Thank you for the hospitality! It was great seeing everyone who showed, and I thank you all for helping me progress!
Once again, that which I appreciate most, is the familial side of things…the fellowship, the sense of belonging, and that moment that comes both when you first arrive, and again as you are about to part ways…that moment that feels like, that is, family.
What a great weekend with a great group of guys. Thanks Sifu Doc for the continued input and support. If you missed this seminar you missed some great stuff.
Thanks to all that could make it to re certify!
Thanks again to Bobby for the use of the compound!!!
Our prayers go out to Ed and his wife for the tragic loss of her friend.
If you missed your recertification this year you have three (3) months to reinstate your certification. March 2017.
Thank you
Well…what went down on Sat was quite the eye opener. The endless possibilities demonstrated by Doc and Bobby left me just shaking my head. Went into this weekend with an open mind but sure feels a lot more open now. Whole new take on”Relax and let it happen” that’s for sure. I’m still soaking it all in so more thoughts later. Good to see everyone that showed up.
Thanks again Doc and everyone for training
Todd
Small turnout was actually pretty good for learning. I never missed a sidebar or a fleeting gem dropped in passing. You all know by now that it was greatness! Nothing to add; you missed out if you missed out! Thanks Doc!
OPEN MIND…EMPTY NOTEBOOK!!!
Have at least 5 Questions to ask!!!
There will be a TEST!!!
EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO COME AND UPDATE THEIR “SHADOWHAND” KNOWLEDGE/SKILLS!!!
Three FULL Days of fun!!!
December 9-11, 2016!!!
