Looking ahead at what you want to achieve in your practice this coming year, remember to dedicate your practice to your life and not your life to the practice, and train diligently to reach the highest level. Roland Tepp, GRTC Senior Student & Instructor at the Tallinn Center took First Place in the 4th Estonian Wushu Championships in the Fixed Step 95 kg. Class & Third Place in the Unlimited Division on December 10, 2011. Congratulations Roland!  All martial arts strive for a focus, unattached mind in action. One Chinese archery classic instructs- If your shot hits the target don't be happy, otherwise your mind changes and your skill drops. If your shot misses the target and you worry, the mind loses focus. - Quoted from the archery section of the "Guided Tour Through The Forrest Of Facts," a Song dynasty encyclopedia that was added to during the Ming dynasty. ( trans. Scott M. Rodell).  Dashou Ge* Anonymous Wardoff, Rollback, Press, Push must be taken seriously... Let him use a huge force to strike me. A thousand pounds will be deflected with four ounces... trans.- Scott M. Rodell *The title of this treatise is common tanslated as “The Song of Push Hands” but the literal title is Hitting Hand Song.  Center Director, Scott M. Rodell, Demonstrating Chinese Swordsmanship (Jianfa) at the ASHOKAN SWORD SEMINAR 2005 (see: http://sword.vsdi.net/03.htm)  |
