“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.

Memorial Weekend Mini Retreat
What a Great weekend! Thank you to all who attended! We covered a lot of material and your open minded reception to it will raise you understanding of SHADOWHAND WING CHUN to a much higher level!
A Big Thank You goes out to Bobby for his hospitality and the use of his home in Holt! Thank you to all how attended and taking the time to train. We had some old students attend, some older than others! John Swales has been a student and friend of mine since 1990! Thanks to Dan for taking the pictures at the seminar, he has been a great help in keeping the web site current.
This is a prelude to the “December Seminar and Retreat”. So if you enjoyed yourself and want to learn more in-depth concepts, make plans on attending!

Very nice correlation I think to the meaning of SHADOWHAND…anonymity, maybe like Tao. SiFu did say that it’s the things occurring between point A to point B that needs to be understood and which is hardly ever paid attention to.
Just stumbled across this from a non-Yip Man lineage website.

Prepare yourselfs!
Justin, thank you for this wonderful clip!
It says a lot about how we should live and experience the things around us in a much deeper way!
SiFu
It has tidbits about:
‘looking past labels’ in order to arrive at what is useful.
‘paying attention and scrutinizing details’
‘studying, searching, testing’
WC principles & physics from a different point of view
The difference between ‘Shadowhand’ WC and “everyone else’s wing chun”
A lot of Wing Chun in this video, if you can look past the ‘pages’. 🙂

There was a lot of what the guy said that sounded like he took it form WC but at 17:30 his footwork is definately based in WC.

@SiFu Doc Savage
Sifu, Wouldn’t it be more prudent for someone else of compareable skill to test you then for you to test yourself.
I agree with Dar Savage that you should have a public message board
I like the way he put the info together! Still fighting the knife and then the atttacker!
Also, the guy need some cardio work, he gets out of breath too quick!
Thanks for the clip! I think everyone will enjoy it!
SiFu,
Thank you for your ‘ShadowHand’ ways of dealing with knives!!! 🙂
Check this out.

Congratulations Justin
Dan: como? Me no understand
Congrats to you Justin on this well deserved momentous achievement… and this also means I get the reciprocating pleasure of moving that other picture (qui cecidit a gratia)further to the right.
Thx Bobby! It will be a great honor SiFu! I look forward to that day! Perhaps we could keep the Democrat tied up and stuffed in the back of my pickup truck!?!?!?! Ha ha ha ha
Congratulations Justin, but I can’t believe you are going to allow that Yankee Democrat back in Florida, just kidding Ed, look forward to seeing you guys.
Bobby
