This page is dedicated to thoughts and ideas that I’ve had and will have, on martial arts training and its relevance to our life journey. After almost 40 years on my kung fu journey, I’ve discovered many parallels between what I’ve done in training and how it has helped me to navigate life’s obstacles and challenges. The discoveries I’ve had have enabled me to lead a richer life. My hope is that through my expressions on this page, others may find ways to help them find the opportunities and stepping stones that obstacles and hardships afford us all.

I may write frequently at times, and at others, hardly at all. But I will write spontaneously, for by doing so, my thoughts and ideas will come from within, as they are, with no manipulation or adjustment – as it should be, if we are to live “in the moment.” It is something we always try to be in, as a martial artist, and that we always want to be in, in our daily lives as well. For to do so is to exist fully, with an enriched sense of our world and the life around us. I encourage your comments and discussion with what I may write here, and hope that it will lead us all to a deeper understanding of ourselves and our training, and ultimately, to the real meaning of our life journeys.

Traditionally a long weekend, this year’s calendar has brought the Easter holiday weekend together with the Anzac Day memorial holiday as well.

Students and families are also off on school holidays,  making scheduling for classes at the Academy… well, interesting.

But for those of you who are around this holiday weekend and/or are wanting to keep your training somewhat on-track, we will be running classes on Saturday, 23rd April at 10:30 am  at the Grange Community Centre, in Hoppers Crossing and will resume classes again as from Tuesday evening (Anzac Day),  26th April at 7 pm again at the Grange CC.

There will be NO classes on Easter Monday, 25th April in Werribee.

Children’s classes will resume as from Thursday, 28th April.

All of us at the Qian Li Dao Academy wish you all safe and happy travels for the Easter/Anzac Day long weekend – see you back soon!

Kiwi Kudos

Congratulations to our Kiwi brothers and sisters in the Wellington, New Zealand area! Kiwi Dai Sihing Stu Dunn is celebrating six years of operation as the ONLY kung fu club on the Kapiti Coast on the North Island.

The occasion was noted this week in an article in the Kapiti News :

The two “culprits” responsible for spreading “the word” over there are Dai Sihing Stu Dunn (left) and Sihing Dean Baines (right).

And that’s the “tall and the short of it”!

Keep up the great work, guys – we’ll see you soon!
