Thank you all
Sigung is a very kindhearted and generous person, when it come to helping students learning kung fu. There are not many very high level Chinese martial arts instructors who are willing to give detail answers to the questions asked by strangers, without getting pay (please see some of the Sigung's answers on the questions and answers section) or teach people kung fu. We are very fortunate that he is still willing to travel around the world to teach people kung fu. I am very grateful that Sigung is willing to teach me and correcting me during the summer camp, despite the fact that I was repeatedly making the same mistake in chi flow - I was not flowing. The most important thing I learnt in the summer camp is not baguazhang, but opening up my heart and enjoyed my life.
Sigung has told us the secret of improving our kung fu is practise it correctly, followed by more practise and more practise.
Everyone was very friendly and helping each other during and after the summer camp. Thank you all for helping me learning the baguazhang.
Big thank to Frederick for allowing me to use his lap top and copying his notes, despite the fact that we only met in this year's summer camp.
Also a big thank you to the people, who organized this year summer camp for us.
For those people who are unhappy about paying high fee to Sigung. Here is something for you to think about:
In traditional kung fu training unless the teachers can see that you have the potential in kung fu. They will not waste their time teaching you their inner kung fu secrets, regardless how much money you pay them or how long you have been learning from them. The best example is from Sifu Yip Chun's book 116 wing chun wooden dummy techniques – Bruce Lee asked his own kung fu teacher Grandmaster Yip Man to teach him the latter part of the wooden dummy techniques and allowed him to film him performing the complete set of siu nim tau. In return for his master's favour Bruce Lee offered to buy Grandmaster Yip Man a new domestic flat. However, Bruce Lee emphasized too much about money so as to hurt his own teacher's self respect! Grandmaster Yip Man refused his request.
Siqung has already broken many of the traditional kung fu rules by teaching people kung fu. He has already passed on the essence of many kung fu system to the people, who have attended his kung fu classes. Therefore you should be looking at the benefit you would get by attending his class and compare it to the benefit you would get from any other martial arts instructors around the world in a 30 hours course. Afterwards you can making up your own mind whether his fee is too expensive or not.
Finding the money to pay for sigung's class is the easy part, the hardest part is practising what you had learnt from him correctly and regularly afterwards.
