| "These are a
lot of dedicated people doing a lot of serious things..."

The CMU WaiGong Club appears deeply entrenched in the Art of War as they practice the techniques handed down from generation to generation of Shaolin Warriors. |
| Ah yes, working steadfast & diligently, the CMU WaiGong Club continues to fight fearlessly long into the night.... |

Ah-! In a Two-On-One fighting situation, the senior student steps from between the two & issues the fatal Punch To The Head, which is defended against with the all-prevalent Duck Technique!- (disclaimer: we do not advocate the usage of such a tactic :) )And yes, as in all martial situations, a certain amount of bloodshed is necessary. I have to admit that I'm quite pleased to see violent scenarios & techniques being employed without people being injured. |

If for some reason you feel the need to employ a side kick, the recommended uses are as follows: First, Do Not Let Them Escape. Grab them. Hold them still. And then Secondly, blast out their ribs. Or their kneecaps. |

But then this may not be enough to satisfy your needs of the moment. You may have to take them to the state of FUBAR. This is more politely known as Fouled Up Beyond All Repair or Recognition. I have made many trips to this state personally, as you can see in the photo at left. As this picture was being taken, I really had to look back upon those most cherished of memories when I had just begun my training in Chinese kung fu, & I wondered WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING?!?! But I survived, & then I remembered all of the Good times Bob & I have had, & realized that we shared a kind of camaraderie that only kung fu brothers (& sisters!) can have with each other. |
| But wait. Let us instead consider something perhaps a little less violent, considered a little more civilized than the FUBAR & Duck Techniques, let us consider... Taijiquan! The Grand Ultimate Fist!!! |

These were from the Pitt Spring 01 Taiji Class. And at left we see the technique of Left Brush Knee. |

I always personally like to note the incredible amount of concentration that my NeiGong students exhibit. It's not that the WaiGong students don't possess the same ability, it's simply that when it comes to Internal Martial Abilities (Nei WuGong) This Concentration is the very PREMISE upon which all of the martial abilities are based & from which each practitioner draws their strength from. Ah well, enough waxing philosophical, (there are enough pages on this site for that!) let us continue. |

Left is performed in most poetic fashion without the slightest sense of imbalance
by those assembled. It continues on with Parry Down & Kick,
More Pictures are always on the way! Am I proud of these people? Hecks yeah I am! This practice of Chinese Kung Fu is not an easy thing. ALL TOO MANY PEOPLE watch the movies, rent the videos & say to their friends "I've always wanted to get involved...." well these people DID. And they're doing it Well. I am privileged to be the gate through which they are able to pass into an active involvement with this lifestyle. To all of the students who have ever given me the pleasure of adding even the smallest bit of myself to their lives, "Thank You! From the very deepest part of my Heart." |
