That is what is being discussed, and about what the OP inquired.

Charles where are you from, if your near boston i would like to meet you.
YJM from what i have seen is quite good. I can't blame him for his high ranking students bad attitude.

got worst and worst. The whole time I was thinking, Oh yeah, LOL!!!

hey willie, I get what yr saying... ". I'm sure if you weren't being a jerk about it, maybe the guy should have no reason to be upset.i kept playing like i didn't have much"
On the other hand, as a teacher I can tell fairly quickly if a guy has some training...Not a problem except if I think he's lying for some devious reason or just to be tricky.
If I suspect deception (which is kinda what you were doing), I don't get mad but I will call it out when I see it and be distrustful of that person until I get to know them. Honesty when you 1st meet a teacher is important IMO.
I would like to make the same offer in kind to any of you... I'm in South Eastern CT (mystic) area. Right off I95. Not far from the 2big casinos Mohegan sun & foxwoods. If yr ever passing by...Yum cha... We drink tea.
Also I got a good Kung Fu brother who lives by Cambridge, MA. I visit him occasionally.

Dave T wrote:I lived there for two months during the Spring of 2011 - really great group of people to immerse yourself with. It is a pretty all-encompassing CMA curriculum. The day started at about 6am with meditation practice in the morning, followed by qigong and taiji, white crane, basics drills, and applications/sparring work, with weapons training mixed in throughout the week. Dr. Yang is incredibly knowledgeable and was very generous with his time and teaching. My Qin Na, Push Hands, and taiji skills all improved dramatically while I was there and the heavy basic training really transformed my body by the time I left. Definitely find some time to work out with them if you have the time!
