Redmond Kung Fu Club -Wing Lam Kung Fu, Seattle

This last week has been difficult as our son’s birthdays are coming up. Christopher’s birthday is tomorrow (the 26th) and Dylan’s is Monday (the 27th) We are really missing Chris. He would have turned 31. RIP my beautiful son!

Than you all so much for your beautiful words for my son!

As he has had a hard life, dealing with mental health issues the last several years. We as a family had been as supportive as we can be - with very little help from the mental health organizations in this state. His heart just couldn’t take it any more. I wish we could have done more.

RIP - my sweat son - Christopher (7/26/95 - 6/5/26). After we get his asses, we will announce a Celebration of Life get together.

Work is good therapy. Me exercising is good therapy. Me teaching is great therapy. So my students who hear my news, please, please still come class tomorrow.

This morning I found my son - Christopher - dead, in his room. RIP my dear sone - who some knew of his issues, as his little heart just out.

While he was 30 - this is how I see him. Cute, happy, healthy and very funny.

5 Animal Hung Gar review - this Saturday. Come old and current students.

You all remember I was;(and still am) a big Bruce Lee fan. Happy B-Day Bruce. In an alternate universe,
he’s still kicking ass.

Remembering Bruce Lee[b] (born Lee Jun-fan; November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973). He was a Hong Kong-American martial artist, actor, and filmmaker. He was the founder of Jeet Kune Do, a hybrid martial arts philosophy which was formed from Lee's experiences in unarmed fighting and self-defense—as well as eclectic, Zen Buddhist and Taoist philosophies—as a new school of martial arts thought. With a film career spanning Hong Kong and the United States, Lee is regarded as the first global Chinese film star and one of the most influential martial artists in the history of cinema. Known for his roles in five feature-length martial arts films, Lee is credited with helping to popularize martial arts films in the 1970s and promoting Hong Kong action cinema

Born in San Francisco and raised in British Hong Kong, Lee was introduced to the Hong Kong film industry as a child actor by his father Lee Hoi-chuen

His roles in America, including playing Kato in The Green Hornet, introduced him to American audiences. After returning to Hong Kong in 1971, Lee landed his first leading role in The Big Boss, directed by Lo Wei. A year later he starred in Fist of Fury, in which he portrayed Chen Zhen, and The Way of the Dragon, directed and written by Lee. He went on to star in the American-Hong Kong co-production Enter the Dragon (1973) and The Game of Death (1978). His Hong Kong and Hollywood-produced films, all of which were commercially successful, elevated Hong Kong martial arts films to a new level of popularity and acclaim, sparking a surge of Western interest in Chinese martial arts. The direction and tone of his films, including their fight choreography and diversification, dramatically influenced and changed martial arts and martial arts films worldwide. With his influence, kung fu films began to displace the wuxia film genre—fights were choreographed more realistically, fantasy elements were discarded for real-world conflicts, and the characterisation of the male lead went from simply being a chivalrous hero to one that embodied the notion of masculinity.

For those who come onto other’s platforms and think they can down play lineages and and seniority, while saying negative things - which btw no respectful teacher or enlightened persons ever do. Here’s mine, as most of you know.

For my 50th, here’s my grey-beard pics.
