When I met Shifu Shi Yan Ming in 1999 he was a

visiting Shifu for a seminar at the Baltimore, Maryland

Kung Fu Championships.

Something about his style and training drew me to

his basic training and an intermediate form classes.

Needless to say I needed “More Chi” and I definitely

“Trained Harder!”

but what I took away from those training sessions and Shifu was to …

Relax the Mind

&

Release the Body

for

Amazing Intensity

to

Achieve

Even with a language barrier Shifu could express what

he required me to do in order to get better.

I had to tap into this energy/understanding and let it flow.

Altogether I think the time spent with

Shifu Shi Yan Ming would have been about half a day,

maybe an hour of verbal communication and

the rest was pointing or expressions.

I loved every minute of the training and came away with the understanding that,

when you center yourself correctly,

for what you want to

practice and achieve …

with each consistent step you will get better and

Succeed!
