為何是功夫？！


每天，起床後第一要做的事，就是得練拳，不管天氣多寒冷，或下大雨，身體不舒服的種種情況下，我還是非得練不可，已經這樣持續了26年，但是學的再久，功夫始終是學了一輩子還是學不完的東西。最近朋友問我：你為何要自己辛苦的練習這樣已退了流行的運動？？尤其在這個時候根本賺不了錢

小時候，練拳是爸爸的要求，我跟我兩個哥哥都要練習功夫，之所以要學功夫，是由於我們以前住的地方因為有嚴重的種族歧視的問題，黑人常受到欺負，所以先學會保護自己必然是重要的。當我在12歲的時，已經實戰了十來多次，所以，就因為我在如此在不安的社會，使我可以在每一次的打鬥經驗中得到其中的技巧和重要性，當我慢慢長大後，雖然還被看不起了，但我還是很自信的，因為功夫是讓我的腦中和精神，以及動力都變的更堅毅而強壯，我長大後才得以看清楚這些武術的深奧內涵，打敗別人是很簡單的事，但打敗自己的缺點，是每天都要經歷的過程，這原來才是生命中最難克服的戰局吧！

因為有了這個''武''的基礎，讓我能排除了在我生命中所有的疑難雜事，我不畏懼我心中所有的主意想法，無論在寫歌拍戲抑或表演，都能利用武的精神面對，一開始有人單挑我會說：我根本不怕你！，接著一群人，我還是會說：我不怕你們！我不怕這些人，我不怕自己的缺點，我更不怕失敗，因為失敗是自己承認了自己失敗，才算是真正的失敗，就算失去了工作，跟女朋友分手，考試不及格，都是個新的挑戰可以有機會讓自己變的更強，更了解真相，最重要的是功夫是如何的給你無窮的自信，方向，或是別人眼中遙不可及的夢想，這是榮華富貴也無法買到的高尚心靈，不只是成長也增長了智慧，如此珍貴的一切都是功夫賦予給我的力量，這才是我想要把武術帶給每一個人的最大原因！

Take the day with you

My father used to tell me stories about his masters and his master's masters. I remember one about his master Choi, who used to go into the mountains in Korea to train. Inside of a cave he would do a ridiculous work out, thousands of punches and kicks. He mentioned to my dad that he used to punch the wall hundreds of times a day for several years. After years had passed he said that the wall had not changed much aside from the small, smooth groove. But now every time that he hit someone with that punch, they would also feel the wall of the the cave. I don't recommend punching walls for training these days but there is more to the story than that. Every day that you are able to get up and train, you take a part of the day into your technique. The days I train and it's freezing cold I add the frost to my footwork. The days I train in the intense heat I add intensity to my lungs. The days I train in the blinding rain I add clarity to my attack. The days I train when I have no

Warfox Training Rooms and Missions

In order to meet with the needs of students that are all over the world, I've decided to open the Warfox Training Rooms for FREE  online tutorials.  Check out online tutorials for Soft Body Flowing Baguazhang on my facebook page, "The Warfox Training Room." (https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Warfox-Training-Room-RJA-%E5%AD%94%E6%9C%89%E6%9C%89/925078367526760) The Warfox Training Room is a free visual training blog with  tips to help people have a better understanding of the physics of this system of combat.  There will be videos on an almost weekly basis to help my online students with their practice from the comfort of their home. The first room is focused on the Heaven Section of training, meaning it is the simple truth of how techniques are used and applied. After students have gained enough Warfox Experience points they will be able to advance to the  Warfox Water Section, which goes deeper into the mechanics, offering even more thorough explanations

The One Thing

Two years ago I finished learning the movements in the system of Gao Bagua and was very excited to begin my journey of developing. Learning all of the movements is only the beginning of our quest. I have spent all of my recent time refining and perfecting all of the techniques. The sword, spear, footwork, combat, conditioning have all been a daily routine for me in finding my understanding of the art fully. I have mapped out new training techniques and ideas that will revolutionize the way people train or perceive the martial arts. My training has been going very well but progress as always has been slow and steady. I have trained everything that my master showed me. Well, almost everything. There is this one exercise that I just hated practicing. It made every part of me ache so much that I didn't have energy to do the rest of my workout. I have never been a lazy person, but this one exercise just took everything out of me. So every time I have set up my workout schedule for the
