Latest News

Hey everyone, well i just wanted to update the blog. Not much to write, but I will let you in on what has been happening lately at the center.

We had a visitor, his name was Scott Stroot, and he was our music teacher while he was here. He was a great guy, taught us a lot. We learned some basic guitar chords, as well as some strumming techniques. He also introduced us to read music. we now have a book which we follow, and it teaches us step by step how to read those little symbols...hehe. I now have a lot more respect for guitar players, its not easy at all. I used to play with my friends, "guitar and piano" but only by ear. but now that i learned the basic structure of how it should be done professionally i realize how much work is involved. by the way Shifu is making us learn 3 songs by the end of the semester...... since we have so much free time. But its for our own good right. what am i doing writing? i should be practicing guitar.

Anyway I also learned how to make bread, and have been baking every weekend. To my surprise it has came out pretty good so far. but I'm going to have to do even better, because since i began baking bread, Shifu thought it would be better to buy a bread machine. He did. So i have some competition now.....maybe he is trying to tell me something? Well the reason why i started to make bread wasn't for fun, i decided to do so because i wanted to train my hands and fingers. I think its a good way to improve my Chin Na grip.....what do you think?

well i have to go now, have a meeting with Shifu in a couple of minutes, he injured his shoulder during the seminars and i volunteered to massage it. So off i go....

I will finish this post when i get the chance.

until next time

  1. Hello this is Shawn,about the bread machine.A bread machine will mix and form a wonderful loaf of bread,there is no doubt about this.In turn though,there is no life force in it.The bread will give us nutrients however,the bread will lack love and knowledge and any other positive attribute associated with baking bread.I kinda play the guitar and it is not as easy as some make it look.Practice makes perfect though....Good luck...shawnctaylor1984@yahoo.com
