A MESSAGE FROM THE GRANDMASTER 2012
Preserving genuine chi kung, Shaolin Kungfu and Taijiquan is great. We can safely say that these arts will not be lost to posterity. Enjoying and benefiting from these arts is great. We are grateful to have good health, vitality, longevity, mental clarity and spiritual joys.
Restoring the glory of kungfu is greater. Helping others relieve suffering and overcome so-called incurable diseases is greater. These will be the themes for 2012.
To realize these themes we have set up a Free-Sparring Competition Committee to help our students participate in and win free sparring competitions, and we have trained more chi kung healers with the special aim of helping people overcome so-called incurable diseases.
But if you are not interested in free-sparring competitions or not a trained chi kung healer, how do you realize these two themes to make 2012 greater?
If you have practiced Shaolin Kungfu or Wahnam Taijiquan for more than a year, in 2012 you should aim to defeat at least one black belt of any martial art comfortably in uncontrolled, full contact sparring. If you follow our 30-Opponent programme, it won't be difficult for you to defeat a black belt. This programme is a close secret. Ask your sifu about it. If you have practiced for less than a year, aim to defeat at least any one other martial artist who has trained about the same time as you.
If you practice only chi kung, in 2012 get at lease one deserving person to join your sifu's class or introduce at least one person suffering from a so-called incurable disease to consult one of our chi kung healers. These persons must be deserving; don't waste time on stubborn sceptics.
If you can just do this, you would have made 2012 a greater year.
-- Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit
