I STRIVE MY HARDEST, EACH DAY TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR SCHOOL MAINTAINS THE QUALITY AND THE STANDARDS OF ITS TIME HONOURED TRADITIONS AND CULTURE. AT TIMES I FAIL IN THIS MISSION AND OTHERS, AND IN THOSE FAILURES, I SOAR LIKE THE AWE INSPIRING PHOENIX. "QUALITY MAN, QUALITY. IF QUALITY IS RIGHT, EVERYTHING IS RIGHT!".

TEACHING QINGQUAN & JINGLI. THESE CHILDREN ARE LEARNING THE HEART OF CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS...RESPECT! THESE 2 SALUTES ALLOW THE STUDENT TO KNOW THAT BEING RESPECTFUL TO YOUR TEACHER, YOUR SCHOOL, YOUR CLASSMATES, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR IDEALS AND PRINCIPLES IS NOT LOSING YOUR DIGNITY BUT EXERCISING IT. IT IS THE SOUL OF KUNG FU TO HAVE A HUMBLE HEART. THE SALUTE SHOWS THAT YOU NOT ONLY CAN YOU BE HUMBLE BUT, THAT YOU ARE HUMBLE!!! "STAY RESPECTFUL, MY FRIENDS!!!".

(9 YEARS AGO (2017)....WE STILL MISS YOU MS. BARBARA, AND WE STILL BURN A CANDLE IN YOUR ABSENCE!!!)

ANOTHER OF OUR KUNG FU FAMILY HAS PASSED, MS. BARBARA JOHNSON (KIRKWOOD SCHOOL). THIS LADY WAS PURE FIRE. SHE SAW MY VAN, FOLLOWED ME FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG, TIL I PULLED UP TO THE KIRKWOOD SCHOOL. I WENT IN AND SHE FOLLOWED ME. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE "HAD TO LEARN KUNG FU", SHE SAID "I HAD ALWAYS WANTED TO BUT, DIDN'T FEEL ANYONE WOULD TAKE AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN SERIOUS FOR ONE, AND CERTAINLY NOT AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN WHO IS", WAIT FOR IT... (AT THE TIME "72 YEARS YOUNG"). SHE TRAINED WITH US TIL SHE WAS 74-75 YEARS OLD. SHE SAID, "I CAN DO MAN PUSHUPS, YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME DO YOU?", TRUST, I DEFINITELY BELIEVED HER. SHE DROPPED DOWN, FULL PLANK AND KNOCKED OUT 10 PUSHUPS. I ASKED IF SHE WANTED TO LEARN TAI CHI, SHE SAID "HECK NO, TAI CHI IS FOR OLD PEOPLE". :-)
MS. BARBARA, WHEN THEY MADE YOU, THEY BROKE THE MOLD. I NEVER MET ANYONE AS BAD ASS AS YOU, AND I AM NOT LIKELY TO MEET ANOTHER. I LOVE YOU DEARLY, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME AND THOSE WHO WERE LUCKY ENOUGH IN OUR SCHOOL TO HAVE MET YOU. MY HEART IS BROKEN.
PEACE BE WITH YOU MS. BARBARA, WE WILL NOT FORGET YOU EVER!!!

AS I DRINK 22 YEAR OLDE SCOTCH, I HUMBLY REFLECT ON ALL OF THE WARRIORS AND SPIRITED SOULS WHO HAVE TRAINED UNDER ME, BEFRIENDED ME, GAVE ME KINSHIP, SHOWED ME THAT I DID NOT SACRIFICE MYSELF IN VAIN. YOU SEE, AT 12 YEARS OF AGE, I KNEW THIS WAS SOMETHING I WOULD DO FOR THE REST OF MY DAZE. IN 1997 I BECAME A DISCIPLE [A WORD MANY WESTERNERS SCOFF AT AS "BLIND ALLEGIANCE"] OF MY MASTER, SHIFU LIN, CHIEN HONG. I WAS CHOSEN AND I COULDN'T GET ON A PLANE FAST ENOUGH. WHEN I MADE THAT PLEDGE, I SACRIFICED MYSELF COMPLETELY TO MY PROFESSION, MY TEACHER, MY SCHOOL, MY STUDENTS. MY LIFE NEVER BROUGHT ME MARRIAGE OR KIDS, I ONLY HAVE MYSELF TO BLAME FOR THAT. I LIVE A VERY MISUNDERSTOOD LIFE, I MAKE NO APOLOGIES FOR THIS, IT IS MINE AND MY CROSS TO BEAR.
I SALUTE THE HUNDREDS WHO HAVE ENTERED MY LIFE AND GAVE IT PURPOSE, ALLOWED ME TO LEARN FROM THEM AS MUCH AS THEY LEARNED FROM ME. THE STUDENTS OF THE PAST GAVE LIFE TO MY DREAM, MY VISION, THE STUDENTS OF THE PRESENT ARE ALLOWING THAT DREAM AND VISION TO GROW, AND MY HOPE IS THE STUDENTS OF THE FUTURE MAINTAIN AND HONOUR THE TRADITIONS THAT THOSE BEFORE THEM WORKED SO HARD TO ETCH IN STONE.
THIS SONG [ALTHOUGH UNRELATED TO THE SHOW IT IS PRESENTING] AND THE COMBINATION OF THIS SHOW ARE MAGICAL IN THE SENSE THAT IT SUMS UP THE FEELINGS I HAVE FOR MY WARRIORS PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. I CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR STANDING BY ME, SUPPORTING ME, AND BELIEVING IN...US!!! I HAVE TRAINED A "MACK", A "BOB", A "CHARLES", AND A "HECTOR" AND TO EACH OF THOSE FICTIONAL MEN, I COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD OF THE NON-FICTIONAL OF THEM WHO MADE AND MAKE CHIEN HONG WHAT IT WAS AND IS.

"OH, MISTY EYE OF THE MOUNTAIN BELOW, KEEP CAREFUL WATCH OF MY BROTHER'S SOULS. AND SHOULD THE SKY BE FILLED WITH FIRE AND SMOKE, KEEP WATCHING OVER OUR THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN ME HOPE!!!"

HONOUR ROLL CALL: LT. D. S. DEWBERRY (5TH & 3RD SFG [ICHEON, SOUTH KOREA] MY FIRST MASTER- NOW DECEASED, MICHAEL HOLLAND (A FOUNDING STUDENT OF CHIEN HONG), AKKO NISHIMURA (ANOTHER FOUNDING STUDENT OF CHIEN HONG), JAMES MCNISH (2ND GENERATION STUDENT OF CHIEN HONG), PAUL HUDGINS (SECOND GENERATION STUDENT OF CHIEN HONG), JOEL RODRIGUEZ (MASTER OF EAGLE CLAW KUNG FU UNDER GRANDMASTER LEUNG SHUM), TERRANCE WALKER (MASTER OF SHAOLIN MANTIS KUNG FU), DR, XU TINGSEN (MASTER OF YANG STYLE TAIJIQUAN), DAVID DUNN (MASTER OF CHEN STYLE TAIJIQUAN), ELDRED BUNCOMB (THE LAST OF CHIEN HONG SCHOOL'S "OLDE GUARD", MIRIAM HOLLAND (MASTER OF YANG STYLE TAIJIQUAN....AND TOO MANY OTHERS. MAY ALL OF YOUR SOULS SOAR THE ENDLESS SKIES AND FIND TRUE PEACE WHERE EARTH STILL CAN NOT HOLD A PLACE FOR IT!!!

WE SPEND MUCH OF OUR LIVES WISHING THE MUD AWAY.

BUT SOME OF WHAT IS MOST BEAUTIFUL IN US MAY HAVE GROWN PRECISELY BECAUSE LIFE WAS DIFFICULT. THE LOTUS DOES NOT MERELY SURVIVE THE MUD—IT THRIVES IN IT.

PERHAPS THE QUESTION IS NOT, “WHY DID I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS???” BUT “WHAT CAN GROW FROM IT???”

YES. WE AGREE, YOUR SON DESERVES......TO GO TO THE PLACE UP THE ROAD!!!

THIS PAST WEEKEND WE HAD OUR DEAR FRIEND (SHIFU) David Cox RETURN TO ATLANTA TO TEACH A SERIES OF SPECIAL CLASSES TO OUR GUYS. WE COVERED A LARGE AMOUNT OF GREAT INFORMATION IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME (5 ELEMENTS QIGONG, PUSH HANDS EXERCISES, AND SPARRING EXERCISES). WE SINCERELY APPRECIATE SHIFU DAVE SHARING HIS KNOWLEDGE, TIME, AND INSIGHT ONTO THE STUDENTS, NEW AND OLDE!

IN OUR KUNG FU SCHOOL: BE RESPECTFUL, BE NICE....OR BE GONE!! EVEN OUR KIDS GUARD OUR WALLS. IF YOU ARE RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL REMEMBER THESE WORDS: "NONE SHALL PASS!!"
