Adios Amigo!

Adios Amigo!
It's been awhile since I or Gwen have written any updates. A lot of things have been going so it's not from lack of inspiration but maybe more a lack of freetime and motivation. On my behalf, sorry about that. I'll try to bring you all up to speed over...

Vengeance

Vengeance
As I couldn't forget this... I had my vengeance today, but there had to be two of us to overpower the little demon.... :-) First I grabbed the rapscalion by his ankle and threw him as high as I could and caught him in mid-air... Then I brought him to...

Kung-Fu Broom

Kung-Fu Broom
As Travis and I were about to leave the school, we went through all kinds of cleaning. I quickly found out, with bewildernment, how my kung-fu skills were useful when it came to playing around with brooms. Therefore, guys I'd advise you all to invest...

Hong Kong: smoke, mirrors and temptations

Hong Kong: smoke, mirrors and temptations
As mentioned before Gwen and I the final foreign BaGua Brothers left at DCMAS had to leave. So where did the great flow take us after this. Well, first of all back to Zhengzhou and our little place on Songshan Lu. Sad to leave the school behind but happy...

Shen Qiu - Macau or a year later

Shen Qiu - Macau or a year later
Feels like it’s been a very long time since my last post on Ba Gua Bros. Obviously, my unforgettable summer in Shen Qiu together with Travis & Jakob was happening already a year ago. Times flying fast and things change as fast. Back to October 2007 and...

HK ---> Beijing

HK ---> Beijing
Once again it would seem that I've neglected our blog and you, the ever faithful reader. That is if there is anyone left out there? I believe that when I left you last time I was in Zhengzhou, fresh out of Hong Kong, trying to figure out my next move....

Arriving at DCMAS

Arriving at DCMAS
After leaving Xiao Long Wu Yuan (Shaolin Kung Fu school) the three of us spent two months training on our own, occasionally tutored by our Chinese friend John and Laoshi Li (Teacher Li). Since we no longer had a training hall, the parks of Zhengzhou served...

Broken wooden stick

Broken wooden stick
Yesterday was a sort of a special day for the school, for neither the kids nor us had a regular morning training. Instead, we took a little walk through the city and then occupied a little square where we quickly rounded up a crowd of people startled...

What about the main food ?

What about the main food ?
We’ve been here for a little more than two weeks and everything is going just perfect. Nevertheless we’ve happened to realize something very important about what TexasT spoke with great eloquence at the following address. I talk about the insane booze...

Long time no see

Long time no see
So guys, welcome back. Its been a while and personally I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting. The last ten days Gwen has been away; a trip to Zhengzhou to restituate and relax, since he injured his hand, was needed. He mentioned that already so lets...

Back to the training

Finally... I got back to Shen Qiu after a good ten days spent in Zhengzhou. My going away from the school on the 17th was due to an injury to my right hand that it took a while to recover from (it's still bad to be honest). I twisted two of my fingers...

New times

It seems time never stops flowing. And as it does things grow and change. A lot has happened at our old school DCMAS. The guys there are still working on setting up what they call the first Internal Boxing School in China. Apparantly they've moved from...

All good things come to an end

That's it. The last two "laowai" (foreigner) bros had to leave DCMAS. As Jakob left already a month ago to go back to his motherland, it left just the two of us to represent the western world in the school and more generally in Shen Qiu. Time seemed to...

Video - DCMAS

To show all you some live action here is one the school videos from DCMAS. The old clips are with teachers and masters that Li Laoshi has been taught by over the years (you'll even see one of them giving Jet Lee some pointers). On a more personal level...
