“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.

Thank you SiGung for coming to Mississippi and sharing you vast knowledge. Each one of your seminars that I have attended have had a profound affect on my Wing Chun and me as a person, but for reasons I can’t fully explain, this last one was extremely sobering. I have always known on a conscious level that you teach us to deal with an extreme level of violence, but this time I felt it down in my soul. Like we discussed a few days later, this seminar shattered the last of my childish “Bruce Lee” fantasies about what training is, and how it should be. You always teach us in a way that challenges our pre-conceived notions and assumptions. I think i am starting to understand one of the reasons why. If you come to training with pre-conceived notions you might get embarrassed. If you face a knife wielding attacker with those pre-conceived notions, you die! Thank you for expanding my perceptions of the art we all love.
Thanks to all of my Shadowhand brothers for making the long trip here and training with us. It was great to see everyone.
Shane
@SiFu Doc Savage
Thank you for coming! It was my pleasure to have you, Aiden, and Sifu Bobby stay with us. I am grateful that you deem me worthy of teaching the art we love, and I will do my best to teach at the high standard you have set for us in the Shadowhand family.
Had a great visit here in Waco Tx today from Enero! I am so grateful for the influence Shadowhand has had on my life. Thanks E for coming to visit, my guys had a really great time and as Iron sharpeneth Iron, so the countenance of one man sharpeneth another…and I am reminded of the need to emphasize the basics! I really appreciate the workout and the counsel!
Thanks again!
-Steve
Thanks, learned a lot of very unexpected lessons from training with everyone.
Relaxed and let it happen
It just was
The basics/forms are gold for sure.
Thanks again Doc, and everyone who trained.
Sigung,
Thank you for the excellent seminar. You really opened the door a bit more widely for me when it comes to the connection between the fundamentals, the exoteric, and the esoteric aspects of wing chun. I will approach my training with the proper questions to begin scratching the surface of my art.
Sincerely,
Nate “Flu Shot” Crawford
Thank you all for a great seminar!

Is there a “down side” to turning in horse gon sao stationary and adding the poc sao punch? Like going thru sticks with punch etc. I added this the other day (just kinda felt like a punch would fit nicely at that time) and realized it helped the timing when going thru the sticks and punching. I have a tendency to go straight to poc sao punch and not set my hands then turn poc punch etc. Just trying to find the sweet spot in the transition right there.
I just realized Gon sao/ Quan sao punching drill has this in it (kinda).
Got in my notes to go over, just figured I’d share some of my thoughts here.
Been spending a lot of time looking at info to improve my overall health…in this book they say that you need to keep your toes pointed forward for the best anatomical stability for you knees & hips. Had to smile because I know a certain Sifu that has been telling me to do just that ever since I met him. Miss training with you Doc. Catch up with you down the line. (Greetings everybody else; haven’t forgotten that I owe you all kicks in the balls!) Be well!

Thanks again sigung for a another great seminar as always can’t wait till next one and I wanted to say thanks to every one who helped me and thanks sigung for taking up some time with me.it was good seeing everyone again. hope all my shadowhand brothers have a good year see every one soon
Was great to see everyone again and, as always, going deeper into the rabbit hole is always enlightening.
Having SiGun, Sifu Bobby, and Sifu Justin here locally all at the same time was priceless.
Thanks to all who showed and all who imparted their wisdom, as always.
Oh, and thanks to Adam for not destroying the Mook Jongs this time 😀
What an opportunity to learn. Thanks Doc for the details. Good to have so many people on the same page.
Something about making a daily commitment to learning the lessons of the drills is nice too.
I learned a lot and had fun, thanks everyone.
Thank you SiGung for coming to Mississippi and sharing your knowledge with us! As usual, training with you adds miles of depth to material and concepts that I “thought I knew”. It is amazing how the “small” details, and interconnected concepts make the art we love so effective.
Thank you Sifu Justin for working with me on the Wooden man sets. It was great to be a member of “Team Alpha”.
Thanks to Sibu Bobby for working with us and for sharing your hilarious stories of people getting their lower extremities busted in poor attempts to best ShadowHand.
Thanks to all of our AL, TN, SC, FL and IL brothers who made the long trek to make this seminar a success.It was great to see all of you guys!
Thank you Sifu Adam for not totally destroying the equipment, and leveling the pavilion.
It was great to see my far away but never forgotten brother Mark.
To all of our Shadowhand brothers who couldn’t make it, you were sorely missed, and we hope to see you next time.
Shane
Fantastic Wooden Man Seminar! Thank you all for your advice and critique. So much to take home and practice with. Much thanks especially to Sigong and Bobby!
