Steve Pulls The Trigger
I was there to witness it. Steve Moore, one of the instructors in the National Fut Gar Kung Fu Training Centre is indeed married. After teaching Steve for approximately 20 years, I somehow still did not recognize the guy standing there in a suit. I guess seeing someone in workout clothes for many years gets you used to a certain look. Congratulations Steve and Jackie!!!

All the best to the both of them!
This is unrelated to this particular post, but I read a good remark this morning about martial arts training: "Most people want to start off by learning ten or fifteen fancy techniques that they’ve seen in movies or watched the advanced students apply. This will lead to years of wasted time and hollow learning. The more powerful approach is to spend days, weeks, even months on one relatively simple technique. What happens then is quite beautiful. You start to get a sense for what it feels like to do something well with your body. Your mechanics become unobstructed, you experience a smooth fluidity, you focus on subtle ripples of sensation. Once you reach this point of full body flow, you can turn your attention to other techniques and you will very quickly internalize them at a high level, because you know what Quality feels like—or in less abstract language, you have internalized axioms that govern all techniques."
