    Dear Family,

    Master in full bloom
    Unfolding as the lotus
    He lifts us skyward

    Body, Mind, Energy unite
    Flowing forcefulness expands
    A glimpse of Ultimate

    Great friends, family
    Sharing power, joy and love
    Loving our Master

    Thank you Sifu, Rosaline, Daminan and to all the amazing participants of this incredible course.

    It is true that better qi flow leads to better luck as each course I go to gets better than the course before it as Sifu becomes unbelievably more and more generous with his teaching.

    Sifu now transmits in such a way that we seem to have the skill he is teaching immediately without having to do anything. However, now when we are back home is the time to put these incredible gifts into practice. Sifu has said the best present we can give him is to practice - now we have truly incredible skills to put both into our daily practice as well as every aspect of our lives!
    Thank you Sifu for enriching our lives on such a deep level and you can be certain that I will be diligent in practice and ready for even more on the next course!!

    Like Chris, I was uncertain just how much deeper the flower set could go after the regional intensive in Finland. Now I laugh at my ignorance. After the mind level teaching of the Wudang set Sifu asked us to choose a force training method from our special set and apply the skills of mind leading energy to it.

    I of course chose the double worshipping of Budhha from the flower set and from the first moment of entering the goat stance I felt something much different than I had ever experienced before - all at once time slowed down and the level of force I felt can only be likened to standing in the middle of a black hole slowly drawing in the power of the universe around me - I felt dense, full, relentlessly absorbing and peaceful yet focused intensity radiating throughout my body.

    In a less than a moment as I just began the thought of starting the movement my arms moved more fluidly, faster and more forcefully than I imagined possible. The faster I went the slower and more charged I felt - surely the downward chopping could have sliced through an arm or leg.

    When i began to release the forward palm strikes and walk toward the wall the force grew and grew simply exploding out of me and giving me an experience for which I have no comparison and no words.

    I became aware of the energy of the entire room as well as the energy of the beautiful park around me all at once and the level of mental clarity i experienced afterwards felt on a level higher than humanly possible. My mind was scrubbed free, clear and sharper than ever - every detail around me full, alive and incredibly beautiful.

    I could have merged right then and there and blissfuly become without thought or fear yet instantaneously realized how lovely and exciting this world actually is and how lucky we are to be a part of it. Incredible.

    Sifu words are not enough to thank you so I promise my practice will reflect just how grateful I am to you and your unimaginable generosity.

    Just this morning while practicing the Wudang set I applied the Form then Flow then Force then finally Mind levels to the first section of the set and sure enough each repetition was exponentially more powerful than ever before. The gift you have given us continues to give!

    Thank you to all my brothers and sisters and nephews on the course - working out the applications was incredible - you all have some great kungfu minds!!

    Thanks to Mark for letting me look good and toss you around some more!

    I can't wait to see you all again!
    from the Heart...

      Special Shaolin-Taijiquan Course , Sabah , 12-18 October 2011

      Thank you to our beloved Sifu , Grandmaster of Shaolin Wahnam School .

      Congratulations to all graduate Brothers and Sisters.....after this course , there does not seem to be any clear distinction between Shaolin Kungfu and Wudang Taijiquan ; After all , as Sifu said , Wudang Shaolin Kungfu ( aka Wudang Taijiquan ) represents the developmental pinnacle of Shaolin whereby the Great Zhang San Feng integrated Shaolin Kungfu , Chi Kung and Zen into One

              Happy Healthy Scholar Warriors : East and West , Chinese and Indian

              From all over the world : USA , Ecuador , Scotland , England , Australia , Holland , Switzerland , Austria , Australia , Malaysia .

              There were 5 doctors ( Chinese and Western ) .....who also went to the Special Healing Course .

              There were actually 4 participants from Malaysia ....perhaps a sign that Orientals are warming up to Shaolin again : it is an irony that one reason for Shaolin Wahnam spreading outside of Malaysia was the local dogmatic view against teaching kungfu to non-chinese or westerners considering that the Patriach of Shaolin was an Indian

              So now we have Shaolin Wahnam Students of various cultural , religious and racial background on all continents , except at Antartica .....Congratulations to Sifu , all Shaolin Wahnam Instructors and All the Past Masters .

                  Shaolin Wahnam : Pioneer of Kungfu Renaissance

                  Foto 1 - Sifu generously likes to pay for meals . Strategy to treat Sifu to a hearty meal is to pay the bill inconspicuously upfront with a credit card while others distract.....so while we talk about kungfu renaissance , the Western instructor who is now happily married residing in the East , darts to the restaurant .

                  Foto 2 - Among the swaying pine trees and passing clouds ....Sifu stayed few days at the Kinabalu Pine Lodge .

                  Foto 4 - Pioneer : Shaolin Wahnam School , with the largest spread of genuine high level practitioners in kungfu history , is in the process of spearheading the renaissance of kungfu and energy arts.

                  THANK YOU SIFU AND ALL THE PAST MASTERS .

                  TO ALL MEMBERS OF OUR SCHOOL : HAPPY PRACTISING MASTERING TRANSMITTING AND RESTORING THE GLORY OF THE SHAOLIN ARTS .

                    Dr Damian

                    In addition to your numerous talents, you can make a career from your caption-writing. I loved your captions as much, if not more, than the photos.
                    百德以孝为先
                    Persevere in correct practice

                        Dear Family,

                        There are simply no words to describe how much I enjoyed the course in Sabah. Everything about it was perfect: Sifu, the material he so generously transmitted to us, the course participants, the location, the organisation etc.

                        Every aspect of my training and I would also say my life has been taken to a new level.

                        Thank you, Damian Siheng and Rosaline Sijie!

                        Thank you to my sisters and brothers for all the great training and fun!

                        Thank you, Sifu!!!

                                Thank you Damian Siheng for posting these pictures.

                                Yes, Sabah is definitely a wonderful place. I was very much impressed by the spirituality and beauty of the people from Sabah I met there.

                                I will keep those memories in my heart. I am so glad I had the opportunity to share those moments with all of my Shaolin Wahnam brothers and sisters and to learn from the best.
