Learn Kung Fu

April 2009 Announcement from Sifu Daniel Carr We are continuing with instruction, beachside in Venice, starting right before sunset, 6:30 to 7:30pm/later, at the paddle tennis courts (click for map). Our class schedule will be Tuesdays and Thursdays until further notice. Our starting time will be later as daylight hours extend and the paddletennis players stay out longer. The class will be $50/month. You must email me to make sure I know that you are coming. Please do not show up without emailing me. If it is raining or has recently rained, then don't bother showing up. Unless it is raining or the surface of the paddle tennis courts are wet, I will be there. The classes will be structured more like how I was taught by Sifu Wong rather than a standard group workout...show up, train hard, and then receive the next piece of Kung Fu that you are working on. You basically get a number of mini-private lessons every time you show up. This allows for people to show up according to their schedules, i.e. if you show up at 7pm, you can still get your piece in a mini-private lesson format, stay and train even after the first students are leaving. The initial curriculum will focus on the Muscle/Tendon Change Series and Tan Tui Kung Fu, but I will entertain requests for Hsing Yi and Tai Chi from people with suitable backgrounds. The emphasis will be on preparing your body for more rigorous training in the future, which will definitely include Muay Thai and perhaps Hsing Yi. At some point, we will move inside, somewhere. If you have interest in further private instruction, you should contact me. If you have interest in Thai Massage for physical therapy, I am licensed in Los Angeles and currently scheduling clients.

Kung Fu Training In Los Angeles If you are interested in beginning your training now and you live somewhere other than the Westside, you should contact the recommended Sifus below. I know each Sifu personally and can attest to their expert instruction, command of the material, and commitment to their students. Since Los Angeles is a huge city and no one Kung Fu school can possibly serve the entire community, we therefore make the following recommendations for these areas: KUNG FU East of the 10 to downtown Los Angeles: Sifu Kisu Harmonious Fist Kung Fu Burbank to Pasadena: Sifu Ken Edwards Shan Tung Kung Fu Association ACUPUNCTURE/KETTLE BELL TRAINING Westside Sifu Mark Cheng The Chung-Hua Institute

Don't put off your health and personal development forever. "The Buddhist notion of diligence is to delight in positive deeds. Its opposite, called le lo in Tibetan, has three aspects. Le lo is usually translated as "laziness," though only its first aspect refers to laziness as we usually understand it. The first aspect is not doing something because of indolence, even though we know that it is good and ought to be done. The second aspect is faintheartedness. This comes about when we underestimate our qualities and abilities, thinking, "I'm so incompetent and weak. It would be good to do that, but I could never accomplish it." Not having the confidence of thinking, "I can do it," we end up doing nothing. The third aspect refers to being very busy and seeming diligent, but wasting time and energy on meaningless activities that will not accomplish anything in the long run. When we do many things for no real purpose, we fail to focus on what is truly worthwhile and our path has no clear direction. When we refrain from these three aspects of laziness, we are diligent." Ringu Tulku Rinpoche, "Daring Steps Toward Fearlessness: The Three Vehicles of Buddhism"
