Shaolin Wahnam Ten Tigers

[Fabienne]

Dear Mr. Do

It is incredibly inspiring to read your beautifully chosen words.

It is also very nice to know that such tournaments are being held and that the shaolin-spirit shines through even on such occasions where, in other places, it would be "all about winning" instead. It truly warms my heart and makes me look forward to meeting as many of my international brothers and sisters as possible=).

I haven't been a part of this amazing family for a long time (it has only been 7 months since my joining), but everything I have experienced so far is unlike anything I have ever seen or felt.

I do not know if it is because of my age, but I often catch myself thinking: "If, hypothetically speaking, there were no health benefits, stunning philosophy or general awesomeness to be had, the Wahnam-Family itself would be worth every single drop of sweat that is being shed during training." Yes, all the meetings with other siblings were indeed amazing so far.

To be a part of this is unbelievable and it looks like it will stay this way for a long time.

Btw: Congratulations on your victory =D! All of the fighters were amazing and inspiring to me=)!
Maybe I should gear up to give Ms Irina some female back-up in a few years . Watching the videos certainly makes me want to.

@Paul: Yes, I would love you to do that! But as mentioned, you need to probably wait for a few more years. I'll hurry and give it my best, though^^!

Very warm greetings to all of you and happy training!

Fabienne

Dear Martin Si Hing,

Thank you for your kind words. It was really a pleasure to hang out with you and the rest of the Wahnam family in Frankfurt. Now I can tell that I was rooting for you, so I was very happy when you won the tournament hehehe

Once again, I'll subscribe your opinion and just say that I'm very grateful for the experience I had in Frankfurt. I really hope to see all of you guys soon

Thank you all,
Miguel

Congratulations

Dear Martin Sihing,

Although I have already congratulated you in person, after now reading your account of the event I wanted to say that its a great honour to have you here in London and to be able to learn from you.

As you know, I'm still a beginner, but the one thing that I have clued into is that more than technical skill or hours put into training (both of which you have plenty of) its really mind that makes the difference -- mental attitude, 'moral and physical uprightness' and smiling from the heart, not to mention mental clarity, focus and centeredness. These qualities really come out in the way you write about the event.

I'm no expert, and I wasn't there to see any of the action firsthand, but my guess is that it was these qualities that carried you through to win the tournament. And its great that I can benefit from your example at class every week..

So I'll try to pay more attention to what you say in class from now on

And I'm also honoured to have not one but two tigers (Paul Sihing) in our class. Along with the great guidance of Sihing Nick and the fellowship of all the other brothers and sisters, I feel truly blessed to have such great examples and such a positive environment to learn so close to my home!
