TenTigers is a jewel in the rough



He has many trinkets, and cool objects-special certificates naming him as an official for the National Martioal Arts Assoc, or some **** like that, different scrolls, posters, certificates, cards, whathaveyou, but I would never ask him for something that he treasured. He was very proud of them. (Although the huge calligraphy scroll, he asked that the artist not put his name on it(but he did anyway) he figured it would be worth something to a collector, since the artist wasw so famous in China. Funny how certain things had value, yet others didn't.
My friends kinda brought us together. My one friend, who is disciple to this Lung Ying Sifu, told me about him. "Rik, ya gotta meet this guy, Dr. Chow! He does Hung-Ga and my Sifu says he's really good. You gotta hook up with him"
My Southern Mantis Sifu said,"Rik, if this guy wants to teach you, you would be stupid not to train with him. You spent your whole life studying Hung Kuen, and this guy is reputed to be very good."
My other friend, a well-known Shuai Jiao practitioner said he was going to train with him as well, but he was already traininig with this other Sifu in Tai Chi.
So it was Yuen Fun-destined-two men travel and share the same road. So Dr. Chao is my teacher and friend.He has two passions in life-Gung-Fu, and tea. He collects rare varieties of teas, and his home is decorated with tea sets, and swords. He seems to only know two words in English-"Good," and "AGAIN!"
I'm gonna kill the guy who taught him, "Again."
As far as some sort of proof of his qualifications? Well, I know he's good,and he has a good heart, and he is virtuous, so that's really all I'm concerned about. As far as proving it to anyone else? I don't actually care.
