Hi Evert all other members of this forum,

Evert, hope you don’t mind that I am posting here. The message is for you and the rest of the members, who should by now, be in the loop.

Martin did write a couple of times to ask me to join you guys in Holland. Well you know the problems I’m facing at this time.

Both Russ and Tze Hou also talked about a face-to-face. Well guys, things are a bit volatile for me now in Kuching and visibility should be better next Jan.
Meeting is not an “if” but “when”.

I just spoke to a gentleman here in Kuching. His name is Chester, a person very experienced in organizing all sorts of martial arts events. Being a TCMA lover himself, we spoke about the viability of doing up a TCMA conference here in Kuching.

Kuching really do have much to offer. Besides gorgeous landscapes, charming natives and the usual tourist attractions, Sarawak is also home to 2 major proud Chinese Kung Fu traditions.

Hakka Praying Mantis and Fuzhou Cranes. The Hakka or Kek make up quite a big segment of the Chinese communities here in Kuching. Sibu, another major division, is also known around here as “New Fuzhou”. And there is even a Yong Chun BaiHe in Miri. So even Martin got a reason to visit. Flying Crane folks will find themselves well-represented in Sirikei.

Well, personally, I must confess that I am relocated here for more than just business reasons.

So we’ll see, a conference to meet and share TCMA experiences.....what more can I say?

Well, i've been waiting for another reason to fly to Kuching to squeeze the secret ground fighting form of FZ White Crane out of you!

i'd be all for it. Timing can be difficult for me, what with my work schedule. There are certain dates which don't work for me, but other than that, standard advance notice is all i need.

thanks

Chas

Chas, no "squeezing" needed. When it is time, it is time.

In the meantime, keep doing your SanJin/Papulien and 24.

If you are following all the White Crane's thread, you must realize now how much history is involved here.

In fact "24" is only done in our system now. Whooping does a "28" which is entirely a different form.

BTW, the Papulien that you got is the Ancestral's Crane version. That is why you got so much long limb Crane and Lohan elements.

Keep doing these 3. There are the seed forms into the Whooping and Ancestral Crane system.

See you soon I hope.
