One of the most funniest Wing Chun tutorial!

Not your average idea of a peaceful Kung Fu master, some even think he looks like a villain of a 70's Kung Fu movie. However, I do like his approach. Very clear, to the point and it works. sometimes it is just like that... when training, do ask yourself what you are training, and how it would work. Remember, you are not a dummie!!! :)

Famous last words, comic relief

Feeling a bit down today, but it is fine. I keep thinking: If we take hardship in physical training as an unavoidable progress we need to go through in order to be better in Kung Fu, then why do we see sadness as a weakness in the individual? Why do we not talk about it, but instead keep saying "I am fine", when people ask you how you are?

So, let me tell you: I feel shitty today. I took time to let my emotion go pass while observing it with an objective mind (if an objective mind excist). I told myself: it is ok to have a less good time, I had already a good time before. This too, will not stay.

However, humor is still a great way to bring a smile on my face even when the weather is cloudy and rainy (as it is today). I came across this list with famous last words from famous people. Some of it just got me cracking... I have a lot of respect for the dead, as death is what bind us together. So what would you say?

Here are some of my favorites:
