Wave hands like moving clouds and others
We had a really good class last night. We learned waving hands like moving clouds. The coordination is very important in this form. The upper hands and lower body need to move together. Few students having some problems at first, after few more round, they felt more comfortable on the coordination. It’s great to see them moving to the right direction.
We have couple things going on here.
- My private student Arcadio going to teach a Monday night Chin Woo Kung Fu class start May 12. He will offer a FREE trail class Thursday night at 7:00 at our studio.
- I will have a Self-defense lecture after his FREE class which will introduce you my five step Escape/ Self-Defense system.
- Our class will do a demonstration at Harvard Square Mayfair at 4:00pm at the stage
across Border’s Café which few students really looking forward to it. We will be doing Tai Chi and Kung Fu.
If you are interested to join one of the activities, you can visit our site at

All About Drawing
Tomorrow will be a busy day for me. I will have four meetings and a Tai Chi class. I am writing tomorrow’s paragraph today. I went to MFA after work today for the Wednesday night drawing. I have done a lot of figure drawings while I was learning martial arts to help my self remember the movements, but I am still a beginner on drawing. I am still at the level of filling the blank with shadows. Today’s drawing is to pick an object and draw. I picked a painting and tried to draw the human figure that painting has. It took me an hour and I am still not very satisfied on what I have. I have few phone calls to make tonight, so I need to get home soon. On my way out, I saw few people also doing drawing and they have a teacher. The teacher was showing some of the techniques. Just few simple lines made the figure so alive. It’s almost like Martial arts. It’s all about practice and technique. Once your technique is mature, you can simply draw any thing with simple lines. When we have computers, no one practice their hand writing any more. When we have digital cameras, less people interested in drawing. These are some really good things we need to keep.
Because an drawing and handwriting tell people your view of life and your personality, that makes you unique. Will life be bored that every one’s letter is typed in times new roman?
