HEARD BY MANY....UNDERSTOOD BY FEW!!!

I WANT TO EXPRESS MY HEART FELT APPRECIATION TO MY STUDENTS. YOU ALL WILL NEVER KNOW HOW TRULY PROUD I AM HAVING YOU IN MY LIFE. YOU HAVE STOOD BY ME, AND CONTINUE TO DO SO, WHEN MANY HAVE NOT, YOUR LOYALTY AND DEDICATION TO OUR SCHOOL, OUR ART, AND OUR TRADITON IS ABOVE AND BEYOND WORDS. YOU HAVE SHOWN HEART, SPIRIT, AND TRUE LOVE FOR OUR WAY OF LIFE. THE MARTIAL ARTS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A WINDING ROAD OF UPS, DOWNS, GLORY, AND HEARTACHE BUT...THAT IS ALSO ITS BEAUTIFUL STRENGTH.... THERE ARE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS THAT GROW IN ROCK CLIFFS, SURVIVING THE HARSHEST OF WEATHER AND ADVERSITY, YOU ALL ARE THE VERY EXAMPLE OF THAT FLOWER. I KNOW THAT I CAN NEVER REPAY YOUR SELF-LESS CONTRIBUTIONS TO ME, TO HONGQUAN, TO WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE ARE YET TO BE. MY LOVE FOR YOU ALL CAN NOT BE MEASURED. I BOW TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, AND EVEN THAT IS NOT ENOUGH. STRENGTH AND HONOUR CHIEN HONG STUDENTS, STRENGTH AND HONOUR!!! See more

AS IN NATURE, YOU HAVE THE INFINITE CAPACITY TO DO ANYTHING YOU WANT, IF YOU COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS - THEN THAT WILL BE THE REASON YOU FEEL LIMITED IN YOUR ABILITY! "STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF, MY FRIENDS!"

CHIEN HONG WRECKING CREW...GET READY, HELL DAY IS COMING!!! : )

* TEAM FOR HIRE * AS WE APPROACH THE YEAR OF THE OX, WE OFFER OUR SERVICES IN CHINESE LION DANCE, DRAGON DANCE, AND KUNG FU!!! IF YOU ARE HOLDING AN ASIAN THEMED PARTY, BIRTHDAY PARTY, WEDDING, CORPORATE EVENT, CULTURAL FESTIVAL, ETC... AND ARE SEEKING AN ACTION PACKED PERFORMANCE, LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE CHIEN HONG SCHOOL OF KUNG FU. WE HAVE BEEN AN ESTABLISHED PERFORMING TEAM IN ATLANTA GEORGIA AND THE SOUTHEAST FOR OVER 25 YEARS.... DON'T WAIT OR MISS OUT. NO PERFORMANCE TOO SMALL OR ELABORATE. CONTACT US TODAY AND ROLL INTO THE YEAR OF THE OX WITH AN AMAZING START!!!

I JUST WANT TO SAY [WITH NO SHAME] I HAVE THE BEST STUDENTS A TEACHER COULD ASK FOR. YOU GUYS DO ME PROUD EVERY YEAR, AND THIS YEAR WE ARE BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE EVERYWHERE WE GO! I LOVE YOU ALL, THANK YOU FOR CARRYING YOURSELVES IN SUCH A PROFESSIONAL WAY AND THANK YOU FOR BEING MY SOUL AND BLOOD!! CHIEN HONG POWER...WILL NEVER GO SOUR!!!!!!!

IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART THAT WE (FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 26 YEARS) MUST CANCEL OUR ANNUAL CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION (2021 YEAR OF THE OX). C-19 HAS REALLY HIT ALL OF US EXTREMELY HARD AND OUR HOPES AND PRAYERS ARE THAT ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF CHIEN HONG ARE SAFE AND HEALTHY DURING THIS TIME. IF YOU WISH TO DONATE TO OUR SCHOOL THROUGH OUR CASH APP, PLEASE DO SO AT: $CHIENHONG WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF YOU HAVE DONE FOR US AND ALL THAT YOU DO TO SUPPORT US, AND WE THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF THE CHIEN HONG FAMILY!!! *CHIEN HONG POWER WILL NEVER GO SOUR*

CHILDREN ARE NATURAL MASTERS OF THE CHAN/ZEN MIND; THEIR WORLD IS BRAND NEW IN EACH AND EVERY ACTION, EACH AND EVERY MOMENT!!! NO COMPLICATIONS, NO PRECONCEIVED IDEAS, NO PROBLEMS!!!

DID YOU PREPARE PROPERLY? DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES? CAN YOU OR COULD YOU? OR DO STILL LIVE IN FEAR OF IT??? TO LOVE SOMEONE LONG-TERM IS TO ATTEND A THOUSAND FUNERALS OF THE PEOPLE THEY USED TO BE. THE PEOPLE THEY'RE TOO EXHAUSTED TO BE ANY LONGER. ... THE PEOPLE THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE INSIDE THEMSELVES ANYMORE. THE PEOPLE THEY GREW OUT OF, THE PEOPLE THEY NEVER ENDED UP GROWING INTO. WE SO BADLY WANT THE PEOPLE WE LOVE TO GET THEIR SPARK BACK WHEN IT BURNS OUT; TO BECOME SPEEDILY FOUND WHEN THEY ARE LOST. BUT IT IS NOT OUR JOB TO HOLD ANYONE ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE THEY USED TO BE. IT IS OUR JOB TO TRAVEL WITH THEM BETWEEN EACH VERSION AND TO HONOR WHAT EMERGES ALONG THE WAY. SOMETIMES IT WILL BE AN EVEN MORE LUMINESCENT FLAME. SOMETIMES IT WILL BE A FLICKER THAT DISAPPEARS AND TEMPORARILY FLOODS THE ROOM WITH A PERFECT AND NECESSARY DARKNESS. DID YOU PREPARE PROPERLY? DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES? CAN YOU OR COULD YOU? OR DO YOU STILL LIVE IN FEAR OF IT?

TRAIN WHEREVER, WHENEVER, HOWEVER. JUST TRAIN!!!

A CHRISTMAS SMILE TO SEND YOUR WAY!!!

THE WEEK BEFORE LUNAR YEAR. I CANNOT ADMIT OR DENY THAT I MAY BE ONE OR ALL OF THESE THIS WEEK. FORGIVE ME IF YOU WITNESS ANY OF THESE IN THE NEXT FEW DAZE!!!

DISCIPLINE IS CHOOSING WHAT YOU WANT MOST OVER WHAT YOU WANT NOW!!!

OUR TRUTH EVERY YEAR!!!

A SHORT CLIP OF SOME OF THE VARIOUS ARTS FOUND IN TAIWAN. A KUNG FU UNCLE DEMONSTRATES PART OF OUR CRANE FORM @ 5:08 AND PART OF OUR TAIWAN HONGQUAN @ 7:25.

THE CHIEN HONG SCHOOL WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOL'S FAKEBOOK PAGE, OUR EVENTS, AND THE SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE. WE ALSO HOPE THAT THIS HOLIDAY SEASON WILL BRING YOU PEACE, LOVE, JOY, AND AN ABUNDANCE OF HAPPINESS! BEST WISHES FROM ALL OF US...TO ALL OF YOU!

2021 NEW YEAR CHALLENGE, COMPLETE!!! THESE ARE THE HEROES OF THE CHALLENGE. THEY ALSO HAVE A MESSAGE TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR!!!

TODAY IS THE BIRTHDAY OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN IN MY LIFE...MY MASTER, MY SHIFU. I CANNOT EXPRESS TO YOU, WELL ENOUGH, MY GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR MYSELF AND MY SCHOOL. I WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM MYSELF, AND THE U.S. BRANCH OF CHIEN HONG SCHOOL OF KUNG FU. CHIEN HONG POWER WILL NEVER GO SOUR!!!

THE STUDENT WHO QUITS WHEN THE TRAINING IS GRUELING AND LIFE'S PRESSURE IS ON, WILL CERTAINLY QUIT WHEN IT IS REAL. IF THAT MENTAL FORTITUDE ISN'T THERE IN TRAINING, YOU CAN GUARANTEE IT ISN'T GOING TO MAGICALLY APPEAR DURING AN ASSAULT!!! DEVELOPMENT OF THE MIND CAN BE ACHIEVED ONLY WHEN THE BODY HAS BEEN DISCIPLINED.

ONE CORNER THE MASTER SAID: A STUDENT IS NOT ENLIGHTENED UNTIL THEY HAVE TRIED HARD BY THEMSELVES. IF THEY ARE NOT MOTIVATED, NOTHING WILL RESULT. IF ONE CORNER IS HELD UP AND THEY CANNOT RETURN WITH THE OTHER THREE, THEN NOTHING MORE CAN BE DONE. THIS IS FROM THE ANALECTS, WHICH COLLECTS THE SAYINGS OF CONFUCIUS. HE IS THE MASTER MENTIONED IN THE PASSAGE ABOVE. THIS IS USUALLY TRANSLATED IN A FAR MORE PUNITIVE WAY. THE WORD, I IS USUALLY INSERTED. IF I HOLD UP ONE CORNE...R AND THE STUDENT CANNOT RETURN WITH THE OTHER THREE, I DO NOT TEACH THEM. BUT THE ORIGINAL DOESN'T SAY THAT. WHAT IF WE VIEW THIS MORE COMPASSIONATELY? IF ONE CORNER IS RAISED, AND THE OTHER THREE CANNOT BE INFERRED, THE TEACHER RIGHTLY SHOULD NOT CONTINUE. BUT THE STUDENT SHOULDN'T BE ABANDONED. (CONFUCIUS HAD SEVENTY-TWO MAJOR DISCIPLES, SO HE MUST HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO HELP EACH ONE.) THE LESSON SHOULD BE PAUSEDAND THEN THE TEACHER SHOULD HELP THE STUDENT LEARN HOW TO FIND THE OTHER THREE CORNERS. YES, A STUDENT MUST TRY HARD BY THEMSELVES. THEY HAVE TO BE MOTIVATED. THEY HAVE TO PRACTICE. BUT THE TEACHER'S ROLE IS TO HELP AT THE MOMENT WHEN THE STUDENT NEEDS THAT HELP THE MOST!!!

LOVE IS PERHAPS THE MOST POWERFUL OF HUMAN EMOTIONS. IT IS ALSO THE MOST OVERSTATED AND ABUSED. LOVE NEED ONLY BE SIMPLE, AS 2 BEATING HEARTS, EXPRESSED AS EASILY AS AN EMBRACE. MANY PEOPLE WANT TO INTERFERE WITH LOVE. ASCETICS WANT TO DENY IT, PERVERTS WANT TO DISTORT IT, KINGS WANT ALLEGIANCE FOR IT, MERCHANTS WANT TO SELL IT, POETS WANT INSPIRATION FROM IT. WE NEED NONE OF THIS FOR OUR HEARTS TO BEAT OR OUR HANDS TO REACH OUT. TO LOVE IS NATURAL, TO UNDERSTAND ITS VARIATIONS..IS WISDOM!

LIFE FOR EVERYONE IS A STRUGGLE AGAINST THE SUFFERINGS OF BIRTH, OLD AGE, SICKNESS AND DEATH. HAPPINESS IS NOT A MATTER OF INTENSITY BUT OF BALANCE, ORDER, RHYTHM AND HARMONY. THE MAJOR WORK OF THE WORLD IS NOT DONE BY POLITICIANS OR EXTRAORDINARY LEADERS. IT IS DONE BY ORDINARY PEOPLE, WITH BALANCE IN THEIR LIVES, WHO HAVE LEARNED TO WORK IN AN EXTRAORDINARY MANNER. PEOPLE YOU MAY KNOW OR ARE IN YOUR CIRCLE OF LIFE. DO NOT OVERLOOK THEM, KEEP THEM CLOSE AND CONTINUE TO LEARN FROM THEM. FOR AS YOU LEARN FROM THEM YOU BECOME ONE OF THEM! "STAY HAPPY AND BALANCED, MY FRIENDS!!!"

BACK TO THE HOUSE OF PAIN!!! (SCHOOL IS BACK IN SESSION) 2021--REGULAR SCHEDULED CLASSES [ADULT AND CHILDREN] ARE BACK UP AND IN FULL SWING! WORK OFF THE GRUB, WORK OUT THE HANGOVER, WORK THROUGH THE "FAMILY", "FRIENDS", OR "HOLIDAZE" FRUSTRATION AND BRING IT ON! I PROMISE YOU, I WILL MAKE YOU FORGET ALL ABOUT IT THROUGH HARD TRAINING!! LET'S DO THIS! NO MESS, NO FUSS, JUST PURE IMPACT!!

WINTER SOLSTICE (Dong Zhi) VIGIL IS A WORD WE SELDOM USE. SOMETIMES WE KEEP A VIGIL AFTER A LOVED ONE'S DEATH. WE ARE BEING WATCHFUL AS WE CONFRONT THE FULLNESS OF AN AWFUL EVENT. WHEN YOU MEDITATE, YOU ARE BEING WATCHFUL TOO. YOU ARE OBSERVING THE FULLNESS OF YOUR LIFE. IS IT BORING? DOES NOTHING SEEM TO BE HAPPENING? THAT'S ALL FINE. IT STANDS TO REASON THAT LIFE HAS SUBTLE LEVELS. IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOMETHING EMERGE FROM NOTHING, YOU CAN WATCH FOR IT RIGHT THERE. LIFE IS ...NEVER FAR AWAY. IT'S ALWAYS PRESENT. TODAY, ON THE SHORTEST DAY OF THE YEAR, KEEP YOUR VIGIL. THE DARKNESS IS GREATEST, WHICH COULD SYMBOLIZE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF DEATH. BUT WATCH. FROM HERE ON IN, THE LIGHT INCREASES. HOPE WILL ALWAYS COME AGAIN. KEEP YOUR VIGIL!!!

THIS GUY KNOWS HOW TO GET THINGS DONE!!!

IMPOSSIBLE IS JUST A BIG WORD THROWN AROUND BY SMALL MEN WHO FIND IT EASIER TO JUST SIT IN THE WORLD THEY'VE BEEN GIVEN, COMPLAINING TO THOSE WHO HAVE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE, THAN TO EXPLORE THE POWER THEY HAVE TO CHANGE IT. IMPOSSIBLE IS NOT A FACT, IT'S AN OPINION. IMPOSSIBLE IS NOT A DECLARATION, IT'S A DARE, AND WHO DARES WINS. IMPOSSIBLE IS POTENTIAL. IMPOSSIBLE IS TEMPORARY. IMPOSSIBLE IS..... NOTHING!!!

YOU BETTER WATCH OUT, YOU BETTER NOT POUT, OR KUNG FU SANTA WILL KICK YOUR WHINEY ARSE ABOUT!!!

VICTORY DOES NOT COME TO THOSE WHO GIVE COUNCIL TO THEIR FEARS, ONLY TO THOSE WHO OVERCOME THEM!!!

TAKE IT SLOW AND EASY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!!!

UNTIL YOUR RESOLVE HAS BEEN ON THE LINE IN SOME (REAL) WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, JUDGE NOT THOSE WHO ONLY DID WHAT THEY COULD WHEN PUT TO THE TEST. UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOMETHING LIKE THAT, MAKE NO PASSING JUDGEMENTS. DON'T BE TOO SURE ABOUT THE DECISION YOU WOULD HAVE MADE BEING IN THE SAME SITUATION. AND DON'T BE SMUG ABOUT YOUR OWN MORALITY, UNTIL YOU HAVE HAD IT TESTED!!!

ELEVENTH MOON THE NEW MOON IS THE DARKEST PHASE: THE LIGHT IS JUST BEGINNING. SLOWLY, THE MOON WILL GO ON TO BEING HALF-LIT, THEN FULL. LATER, THE LIGHT WILL LESSEN AS THE DARKNESS GROWS UNTIL A COMPLETE LUNAR MONTH HAS PASSED. THUS ALL THINGS START SMALL. GROWTH IS GRADUAL. NOTHING SPRINGS TO FULLNESS ALL AT ONCE. EVERYTHING STARTS SMALL. ... THINGS OFTEN DECLINE JUST AS SLOWLY. WE COME TO FULLNESS AND THEN BEGIN TO RETREAT AGAIN, JUST AS THE MOON'S LIGHT SLOWLY RECEDES. WHAT'S THE DAOIST RESPONSE? TO STORE ENERGY. TO CULTIVATE IMMORTALITY. TO FIND RENEWAL. AND TO BE SMART IN LIFE'S UPS AND DOWNS, NOT JUST IN ONE PHASE BUT IN ALL OF THEM. IN THAT WAY, YOU CAN STILL PURSUE BRIGHTNESS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE DARK. TO PARAPHRASE A CHINESE SAYING, "THE SUN RISES ANEW EACH DAY; THE MOON IS ALWAYS CHANGING." IF YOU FOLLOW EACH DAY AND NIGHT WITHOUT REGRET OR TARDINESS, THEN YOU HAVE THE DAO.

WE HAVE ALL BEEN HIT HARD IN SOME KIND OF WAY THIS PAST YEAR. ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND THE CHIEN HONG SCHOOL FAMILY, I SINCERELY WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST AND A VERY....

THIS PICTURE SAYS ALL IT NEEDS TO! SERENITY AND HARMONY THROUGH DEDICATING ONE'S SELF TO A SINGLE GOAL, AND THE SUCCESS OF THAT DEDICATION BRINGS ONE RESULT...THAT IS GONG FU!!

ELDRED BUNCOMB...THE LAST OF THE CHIEN HONG OLDE GUARD. TODAY IS HARD BUT, EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE THERE, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE HERE...WITH ME!!! * 11 AUGUST 1969 - 30 DECEMBER 2017 * (THERE'S NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT YOU ARE NOT IN MY THOUGHTS. YOU WERE THE LAST AND THERE WILL BE NO ONE ELSE LIKE YOU!!)

THE POSTER SAYS IT ALL. ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS WALK IN THE DOOR! HONGQUAN (HUNG GAR), YONGCHUN (WING CHUN), TAIJI (TAI CHI). ANCIENT ARTS FOR MODERN TIMES! NO POLITICS, JUST PURE KUNG FU! CHILDREN AND ADULTS!

MOTIVATION (A lesson for me on this day) YOUR MIND DETERMINES THE EFFECT. - EVERYONE - NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE OR WHERE THEY ARE - MUST KNOW FROM CHILDHOOD THAT WHATEVER OCCURS, DOES NOT HAPPEN IF THE OCCURRENCE ISN'T ALLOWED TO COME INTO THE MIND. IT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENS IN OUR LIFE THAT IS IMPORTANT, IT'S HOW WE REACT TO WHAT HAPPENS. FAILURE IS WHAT YOUR MIND ACKNOWLEDGES. TO BE DISCOURAGED FROM OUR "FAILURES" IS TO BE DEFEATED. IT IS NOT WHAT HAPPENS THAT IS SUCCESS OR "FAILURE", BUT WHAT IT DOES TO THE HEART OF US. NO ONE IS DEFEATED UNLESS THEY ARE DISCOURAGED. STAY MOTIVATED, MY FRIENDS!

DECEMBER HOLIDAY SCHEDULE: ADULT & CHILDREN ===================================== CLOSED ON: 21-26 BACK OPEN ON: 28... OPEN ON: 2 JANUARY (KIDS 10-11) [ADULT 11AM-1PM CHALLENGE CLASS] WE'LL SEE WHO SHOWS UP!!! ===================================== ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY AND NEW YEAR BE SAFE AND BE READY FOR GREAT THINGS IN 2021!!!

NEVER SHOULD ONE FORGET THAT, ONE'S PURPOSE IN LIFE IS TO SEEK AND FIND ONE'S PURPOSE IN LIFE! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE IS???

STUDENT: IS IT GOOD TO SEEK THE PAST MASTER? DOES IT NOT ROB THE PRESENT? MASTER: IF A MAN DWELLS ON THE PAST, THEN HE ROBS THE PRESENT BUT, IF A MAN IGNORES THE PAST, HE MAY ROB THE FUTURE. THE SEEDS OF OUR DESTINY ARE NURTURED BY THE ROOTS OF OUR PAST. STAY MOVING FORWARD BUT, FORGET NOT FROM WHERE YOU CAME, MY FRIENDS!!!

ASKING AND LEARNING YOU GO TO A TEACHER SO YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS. AFTER ALL, THAT'S PART OF WHAT MAKES LEARNING FROM A REAL PERSON BETTER THAN TRYING TO LEARN FROM A BOOK OR VIDEO. YOU CAN ASK FOR CONFIRMATION, YOU CAN ENGAGE IN SPECULATION, AND YOU CAN SEE SURPRISING OPPORTUNITIES TO ASK FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS. I KNOW THE CHINESE TRADITION IS DON'T ASK QUESTIONS. I THINK THAT'S UNFORTUNATE AND OFTEN ABUSED. BUT LET ME TRY TO EXPLAIN IT ANYWAY. THE FIRST CONSIDERATION IS THE U...TTER RESPECT FOR A TEACHER THAT IS DRILLED INTO US FROM THE FIRST DAYAND EVERY DAY THEREAFTER. THE TEACHER HAS LOFTY KNOWLEDGE AND WILL REVEAL IDEAS IN THE PROPER SEQUENCE. RATHER THAN ENGAGE IN CHATTER, IT'S SAID, WE SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON THE DIGESTIBLE FACTS AT HAND. THE SECOND CONSIDERATION IS THAT THE TEACHER MAY BE PUSHING YOU TOWARD THE NONVERBAL. AFTER ALL, IF THE TAO THAT CAN BE TOLD IS NOT THE CONSTANT TAO, THEN HOW CAN DIALOG REVEAL THE ULTIMATE? THE THIRD CONSIDERATION IS THAT MANY STUDENTS USE QUESTIONS TO SMUGLY PARADE THEIR OWN SUPPOSED KNOWLEDGE, TO DEFLECT HAVING TO DO WHAT THE TEACHER INSTRUCTS, AND TO AVOID THE ARDUOUS DAILY EFFORT OF PRACTICE ITSELF. ASSUMING THAT WE ADDRESS THOSE POINTS, THEN THERE IS STILL A NEED TO ASK QUESTIONS. YOUR TEACHER SHOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER EVERY ONE OF THEM. IN CHINESE TRADITION, YOU HAVE TO ASK TO BE TAUGHT. THE TEACHER HAS TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE BOTH SINCERE AND PERSEVERING. AFTER THAT, YOU STILL HAVE TO ASK TO BE TAUGHT AT EVERY MEETING. AS LONG AS YOU DO IT PROPERLY, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO LEARN. "STAY WITH KNOWING WHEN AND WHAT TO ASK, MY FRIENDS!!!"

FROM THE DAWN OF TIME WE CAME; MOVING SILENTLY THROUGH THE CENTURIES, LIVING MANY SECRET LIVES, STRUGGLING TO REACH THE TIME OF THE GATHERING; WHEN THE FEW WHO REMAIN WILL BATTLE TO THE LAST. NO ONE HAS EVER KNOWN WE WERE AMONG YOU...UNTIL NOW!

CHIEN HONG SCHOOL IS OFFERING A KUNG FU CONDITIONING CLASS CHALLENGE. 02 JANUARY 2021[SATURDAY @ 11AM-1PM].

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE EXCEPT SOME L B'S??? See more

MANY OF THE PROBLEMS WE FACE TODAY ARE OF OUR OWN MAKING. WHY IS THIS? BECAUSE WE ARE SUBJECT TO EMOTIONS WITHOUT PROPERLY USING OUR INTELLIGENCE. HUMAN BEINGS ARE NOT FUNDAMENTALLY NEGATIVE, BUT ARE PRONE TO BE SWAYED BY ANGER OR FEAR. WE TAKE SUCH EMOTIONS FOR GRANTED WITHOUT REALIZING HOW DESTRUCTIVE THEY CAN BE. "STAY IN CONTROL, MY FRIENDS!!!" (MY OWN ADVICE TO MAKE...MY OWN ADVICE TO TAKE!!!)

* GREAT GIFT IDEA FOR THE HOLIDAZE!!! * CHIEN HONG SCHOOL OF KUNG FU, NOW ENROLLING [BY APPOINTMENT ONLY] FOR CHEN STYLE TAIJI (TAI CHI) CLASSES.

WE ARE CHIEN HONG SCHOOL. WE FOLLOW A PATH OF TRADITION AND CULTURE. WE STAND BY OUR CODE OF HONOUR. "THIS SCHOOL IS OUR HOME, AND WE KNOW THAT IT IS WORTH DEFENDING!" WALK IN FRONT OF US, WALK BEHIND US, OR WALK WITH US, IF NOT... GET OUT OF OUR WAY!!! * ELDRED BUNCOMB....LAST OF THE TRUE OLDE GUARD, I AM MISSING YOU GREATLY ON THIS DAY, MY DEAR FRIEND!!! *

* TODAY I BURN A CANDLE IN YOUR HONOUR. I MISS YOU MOM, MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW. MIKEY.... PLEASE LOOK AFTER HER!!! * 13 DECEMBER 2019 (FRIDAY, 7:30AM). "WE REGRETFULLY INFORM YOU THAT YOUR MOTHER HAS PASSED AWAY. " AS MANY OF YOU MAY KNOW AND OR HAVE NOTICED, I AM A PRIVATE PERSON. I DON'T AIR MY LAUNDRY ON FAKEBOOK. MY PERSONAL LIFE, MY LOVES, MY HATES, MY RELATIONSHIPS, MY TRUE FEELINGS DO NOT MAKE THERE WAY TO THIS FORUM. I COME FROM A TIME WHEN WE SAT AND TALKED. WH...ETHER IT BE ON ONE'S PORCH, IN THEIR KITCHEN, AT A HOUSE PARTY, SITTING ON THE BACK BOOT OF ONE'S CAR, ETC... JUST SUCH A DIFFERENT TIME NOW. I DO NOT SEEK ATTENTION, AND I AM NOT SEEKING IT NOW. I HAVE NO REAL FAMILY LEFT SO, MY POSTING THIS IS FOR THOSE THAT WOULD WANT TO KNOW, AND CARE TO KNOW. IT IS NEVER EASY SAYING GOODBYE TO A FRIEND OR A LOVED ONE. NEVER EASY AT ALL. ESPECIALLY FOR ME ON THIS DAY. MY MOTHER, WAS A TRUE CROSS BETWEEN SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL (PATRON SAINT OF COMPASSION AND CHARITY TO THE POOR) AND SAINT SOPHIA (THE PATRON SAINT OF FAITH, HOPE, AND CHARITY). SHE TOOK OTHERS INTO HER HOME WHEN SHE HAD NOTHING, FOR THOSE WHO NEEDED MORE THAN THEY OR SHE HAD. SHE WAS THE WOMAN WHO TAUGHT ME MY WORK ETHIC. SHE WORKED IN FACTORIES WHEN I WAS A KIDD. A MALE DOMINATED FIELD, RIDICULED AND TREATED AS A 2ND CLASS CITIZEN, LAID OFF BECAUSE THE LABOUR UNION (AT THE TIME) FELT WOMEN SHOULD BE HOMEMAKERS, NOT FACTORY WORKERS. AFTER THIS, SHE WORKED CONVENIENT STORE JOBS. SHE WORKED HARD, MORE THAN ANY WOMAN I HAVE EVER KNOWN. SICK, WELL, SAD, OR HAPPY, SHE WORKED. A TRUE WARRIOR, A TRUE SPIRIT FORGED IN HONOUR. SHE TAUGHT ME NOT TO GIVE UP WHEN THINGS GET ROUGH. I HAVE FAILED HER IN MANY OF THOSE ENDEAVORS. I BROUGHT YOU NO WIFE, NO GRANDCHILDREN. FOR THAT I AM SORRY. SHE NEVER ASKED FOR HELP, SHE NEVER WANTED TO BE SOMEONE'S BURDEN, SHE FOUGHT HARD BELIEVED IN HER WAY THAT, IF IT IS GOING TO BE DONE RIGHT, SHE WOULD HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO DO IT. MY MOTHER WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. THE WORLD LOST A GREAT WOMAN TODAY, ON THIS 13TH OF DECEMBER 2019 (FRIDAY, 7:30AM). MOM, I MAKE YOU A PROMISE. I WILL GET BACK IN THERE, FORGE AHEAD, AND TEACH WITH PRIDE. ONE MAY ASK, "WITH YOUR MOTHER'S PASSING, HOW COULD YOU JUST GO BACK TO TEACHING?". MY ANSWER IS "COURAGE", MY MOM TAUGHT ME TO HAVE COURAGE OF HEART, SHE KNEW THAT LIFE BEGINS AND LIFE ENDS. IT IS WHAT WE DO WITH THE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN THAT MATTER MOST. THESE WERE THE TEACHINGS OF HER FATHER, PASSED TO ME BY HER. MOM, I WILL BE AS BRAVE AS YOU, BY NOT MOURNING YOU BUT, BY CELEBRATING YOU, WHO YOU ARE AND WHO YOU WERE. I LOVE YOU AND MY HEART IS BROKEN THAT I COULD NOT TELL YOU THAT...FOR THE LAST TIME. MIKEY, PLEASE SIT WITH HER, GUARD HER, AND KEEP HER COMPANY. I WILL BE THERE SOON BUT, NOT YET...NOT YET!!! MERLIN, YOU WERE RIGHT. THAT BLACK BIRD GOT HER...THE SAME ONE IN MY DREAM!!!

zhn m do Horse Chopper. They call this "zanbato" in Japan. Whatever, in the battlefields, you take out the horse and then the rider.....yeah, atrocious ....... But you talking war lah ...... anything goes.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WATER YOUR DREAMS WITH. WATER THEM WITH WORRY AND FEAR AND YOU WILL PRODUCE WEEDS THAT CHOKE THE LIFE FROM YOUR DREAM. WATER THEM WITH OPTIMISM AND YOU WILL CULTIVATE SUCCESS. NURTURE AND GIVE LIFE TO YOUR DREAMS!!!

FOR FAR TOO LONG...you have allowed the past to affect you FOR FAR TOO LONG...you have taken personally what others say about you FOR FAR TOO LONG...you have stood on the sidelines while others thrive FOR FAR TOO LONG...you have gone to bed worrying about what may be FOR FAR TOO LONG...you have held a fear in your heart... FOR FAR TOO LONG...you have not truly reached for the top NOW IS THE TIME...to awaken to your true potential NOW IS THE TIME...to stand up, be proud of what you have accomplished NOW IS THE TIME...to know that it took you FAR TOO LONG but, NOW IS THE TIME!!!

CHIEN HONG SCHOOL OF KUNG FU WOULD LIKE TO WISH OUR JEWISH FRIENDS AND FAMILY....

I'M GLAD MY SHIFU INSPIRED ME TO STAY THE PATH. THIS POST RESOUNDS LOUDLY FOR ME. QUITTING...NOT AN OPTION!!!

THE CHIEN HONG SCHOOL HAS HAD MANY AMAZING, CREATIVE, CRAZY (SOME GOOD AND SOME NOT), GIVING, HELPFUL, SINCERE, AND WONDERFUL PEOPLE (PARENTS, STUDENTS, AND FAITHFUL FRIENDS). I SAY THIS WITH THE PUREST HEART, I LOVE AND APPRECIATE ALL WHO HAVE STOOD BY US THROUGH THE YEARS. THE GUARDIAN ANGELS HAVE BEEN THERE FOR US SINCE WE STARTED AND THERE ARE THOSE (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) WHO CONTINUE TO DO SO. I CAN NOT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH, AND THE WORDS WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH. RANT OVER, MIND THE GAP!!!

- ( Võ ang Xuân Thu i ao )

I AM THANKFUL EVERYDAY FOR THOSE THAT STOOD BY ME ON MY PATH AND JOURNEY AS A GONG FU TEACHER (MY MA, MY SHIFU, ALL OF MY STUDENTS, MY NEIGHBORHOOD FRIENDS, SOME OF THEM MAY YOU REST IN PEACE), AND FOR THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO DO SO. YOU LOT INSPIRE ME AND SHOW ME THAT OUR VISION IS STRONG, AND FOR THAT I KEEP FIGHTING ON! FOR THOSE THAT ARE GONE, IT IS MOST LIKELY FOR THE BEST. FOR THOSE THAT ARE STILL WITH US, WE MARCH FORWARD, YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN US OR...GET OUT OF OUR WAY!!! IF IT IS APPRECIATED...IT LASTS FOREVER. MAY WE LAST FOREVER!!!

SELF-DISCIPLINE IS AN ACT OF CULTIVATION. IT REQUIRES YOU TO CONNECT TODAY'S ACTIONS TO TOMORROW'S RESULTS. THERE IS A SEASON FOR SOWING AND A SEASON FOR REAPING. SELF-DISCIPLINE HELPS YOU KNOW WHICH IS WHICH AND WHEN IT IS TIME ACT. "STAY DISCIPLINED,MY FRIENDS!!!"

THE NATIONAL POLICE GAZETTE, NOVEMBER 18, 1899 * TACT/DART TRAINING... EARLY DAYS!!! *

INTO THE WU DAO GUAN I GO...TO LOSE MY MIND....AND FIND MY SOUL!!!

ROOTS HELP ONE FIND STABILITY. WITHOUT ROOTS, YOU ARE AND WILL ALWAYS BE ONLY A WANDERER. A WANDERER CAN NOT STAY PUT LONG ENOUGH TO DISCOVER THE TRUE FOUNDATION OF THEIR ART OR THEMSELVES. TOO RESTLESS, DISCOURAGED EASILY, TOO SELF-ABSORBED, TOO BUSY TRYING TO FIND OVERNIGHT RESULTS. IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU, IT JUST MIGHT BE YOU. FINDING YOUR ROOTS TRULY HUMBLES THE SOUL AND MAKES YOUR TRAINING MORE MEANINGFUL. FIND YOUR ROOTS OR WONDER WHY YOU ARE ALWAYS WANDERING!!!

TEACH MORE OF THIS...PARENTS, MENTORS, FAMILY MEMBERS, ANYONE IN A POSITION TO GUIDE THE LITTLE ONES. DISCUSSING YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS, YOUR DIVORCES, YOUR ANGER OF ANYTHING IN FRONT OF YOUR KIDDS...TEACHES THEM JUST THAT. STARTS IN THE MIND, FALLS TO THE TONGUE, BY THEN...IT'S TOO LATE. RIGHT THOUGHT, RIGHT SPEECH, RIGHT ACTION. WHETHER OR NOT YOU FOLLOW BUDDHIST LAW, IT RELATES TO US ALL!!! RANT OVER, MIND THE GAP!!!

CHIEN HONG SCHOOL OF KUNG FU WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU ALL A VERY.......

MY KUNG FU UNCLE, PERFORMING ZUIQUAN (DRUNKEN FIST) FOR A TAIWANESE DELEGATION AND THE VISITING ABBOTT AND MONKS OF THE SHAOLIN TEMPLE (WHO WERE VISITING TAIWAN AT THE TIME), 1993.

NOVEMBER "HOLIDAY" SCHEDULE: * 23 [MON] CLASS IS IN SESSION! * 25 [WED] & 28 [SAT] NO CLASSES. ... ENJOY YOUR "HOLIDAY" AND BE SAFE! BE READY FOR ONE HELL OF A CONDITIONING CLASS ON 30 [MON], TO WORK OFF THE HORMONE INFESTED FEAST YOU DEVOURED ON THURSDAY! HMM...PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD YOU WHAT KIND OF CLASS TO EXPECT, NOW YOU WILL LIKELY BE "CONVENIENTLY" BUSY THAT DAY. HMM....

PEACE... COMES WITHIN THE SOULS OF MEN AND WOMEN WHEN THEY REALIZE THEIR RELATIONSHIP, THEIR ONENESS, WITH THE UNIVERSE AND ALL ITS POWERS, AND WHEN THEY REALIZE THAT AT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE DWELLS THE DAO (THE WAY), AND THAT WAY IS EVERYWHERE, IT IS WITHIN EACH OF US. EXPLORE IT, BE IT, AND FIND PEACE!!!

WHEN THE SPIRIT IS IN CONTROL, THE MIND AND BODY OBEYS. LOOK AT YOUR INNER DEMONS, TRULY SEE THEM. THEY ARE FORMLESS. LISTEN TO YOUR FEARS, THEY ARE SOUNDLESS. WHEN THE MOMENT OCCURS, YOUR MIND AND BODY WILL NO LONGER BETRAY YOU! "STAY IN CONTROL, MY FRIENDS!"

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE FEEL OUT OF HARMONY W/ OUR SURROUNDINGS, MATTERS DO NOT GO OUR WAY, & WE FEEL CONFUSED AND DISORIENTED. WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS, WE ARE LIKE THE BIRDS SINGING OUT OF TUNE. IF WE KEEP OUR PATIENCE, WE FIND OURSELVES LINKED AGAIN. ONCE HARMONY RETURNS TO US, WE SHOULD NOT LOSE FAITH EVEN IN TIMES OF MOMENTARY DISCORD, TRULY KNOWING THAT IT IS MOMENTARY.

MANY GREAT YEARS, MANY GREAT MOMENTS, MANY GREAT LESSONS AT THIS TEA TABLE!!! I AM GRATEFUL AND HONOURED EACH TIME I SIT HERE!!!

TAIWANESE HONGJIAQUAN: HUANG FEI HONG, LIN JIA GUN, ZHANG KE ZI, LIN JIAN HONG! RESPECT FAMILY, RESPECT ANCESTORS, RESPECT TEACHERS, RESPECT THE TEACHINGS TAUGHT! STRENGTH AND HONOUR!!!

TRUE KUNG FU IS IN THE WORK AND SKILL OF THE INDIVIDUAL. IT WEARS MANY FACES AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM. ARTISANS HAVE ALWAYS GONE THROUGH AN EBB AND FLOW OF POPULARITY, SOMETIMES LOVED, ADORED, AND CHERISHED. OTHER TIMES...HATED, FACED JEALOUSY, AND HAVE BEEN BEATEN. PLEASE REMEMBER WHAT THE ARTISANS HAVE PROVIDED YOU WITH, AND HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE. BECAUSE ONCE THEY ARE GONE, ONCE IT IS GONE, IT'S RETURN MAY CEASE TO BE!!!

THIS WEEKEND WAS TRULY AWESOME, IMPRESSIVE, AND NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING!!! WE KNOCKED OUT 11 HOURS OF LION DANCE PERFORMANCES IN 2 DAZE. THE TEAM WAS TOP SHELF, TRUE CLASS ALL THE WAY. I CAN NOT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH!! SAVANNAH, WE ENJOYED YOUR HOSPITALITY BUT, IN THE IMMORTAL WORDS OF DOROTHY GALE....."THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME"!!!

THIS IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT CHIEN HONG STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND FRIENDS, THEY ARE DEFINITELY MY SUPERHEROES!!!

YES IT DOES, AND YES WE DO. CHIEN HONG SCHOOL OF KUNG FU INSTRUCTS CLASSES IN CHEN STYLE TAIJIQUAN (TAI CHI). TRY A CLASS. NEVER FEAR MOVING SLOWLY, ONLY FEAR NOT MOVING!!!

THROUGH THE GOOD AND THE BAD OF OUR NATION, I STILL WILL ALWAYS STAND BY AND RESPECT THE SOLDIER. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THOSE WHO CREATE THE BACKDROPS OF WHERE YOU GO, I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THEY WILL WAKE UP ONE DAY AND REALIZE THAT YOUR LIFE, YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES SACRIFICE, YOUR SERVICE, YOUR HONOUR AND DUTY ARE WORTH MORE THAN THEIR GREED!!! TO ALL THAT SERVE AND HAVE SERVED - STRENGTH AND HONOUR!!!

INTERESTING HOW THE UNIVERSE BRINGS PEOPLE BACK INTO YOUR LIFE. SOMETIMES THEY JUST COME BACK TO SAY HELLO, OR JUST TO SEE WHAT BECAME OF YOU, WHERE YOU ARE, WHAT YOU ARE DOING. SOMETIMES THEY RETURN TO SAY UNSAID WORDS THAT SHOULD'VE, COULD'VE, OR JUST COULDN'T BE SAID AT THE TIME OF DEPARTING. SOMETIMES THEY RETURN AND THE REASON MAY NEVER SURFACE. THE UNIVERSE IS FUNNY LIKE THAT. CHERISH WHAT YOU GOT, WHILE YOU GOT IT. THERE ARE LAST THINGS AND THINGS THAT LAST. YOU DECIDE WHICH IS WHICH!!!
