The poor student utilizes his teacher's influence. The mediocre student admires his teacher's kindness. The superior student grows strong under his teacher's teachings. Nice .......Thanks for the kind words Sihing, ditto right back!!!

With the technology these days us teachers can produce some decent information for the public to a limit, of course higher level information at some time the student might want to visit the teacher or correspond more deeper and become closer with the teacher if they truly want to persue this knowledge. The problem is with all this online courses you cannot control the information once given out to the persons and they duplicate it and pdf shit and all your years of hard training is gone in an instant to some wannabe that think he can then open up a school without even asking you or grading from you. Or just take the information and add it to there own art and dilute it. Just a thought...have your good and bad....cant have it all i guess!!! Sifu Garry

Some meditation such as Burning Palm has 3 times to train it and each of these 3 times work with the said meditations to gather the energies of the sun and moon, earth. Some meditations in BFP has to be done at the same time everyday no missing or no results that is how serious it is and how serious you wanna be. Sifu Garry

Thankyou for the nice compliments, you are to kind! I was already teaching Bak Mei and Yau Kung Mun prior to learning BFP so I was able to easily pick it up. Plus my Sifu was very traditional and I had to learn chinese and the customs which lead me to be a Taoist officially in 1992. Kung Fu is my path which is also my so called Religion (daoism) but I find those principles in western magic and hermetic knowledge. The meaning for Kung Fu is Hard work, there is no other way to develop your whole being without Hard work which is Kung Fu! If your doing Kung fu for a fad or something to learn to just get fit or fight I think you may not last but usually a good kung fu school and sifu will change a students mind and get them to see themselves that kung fu is much more than moving and fighting... Good luck with it all and please post your journey of FP for us all to read if you choose to keep that personal that is also great but please document it personally for your own intrest. Regards Sifu Garry

In the old days some masters learnt from secret family books or fighting manuals these days you have dvds much better, all you need to do is find a teacher to share his knowledge through this method (correspondence) properly.

I have a good friend Sifu Andy Troung he is of Vietamese and knows Jow Ga, Bak Mei, Lung Ying pai, i used to teach bak mei to his students and YKM back in the early 90's. We are Brothers in kung fu! Also Sifu Randy Bennet he is of the hongkong Jow Gar Sifu Dean Chin was his teacher I believe, Anyway great that you doing a traditional system. Jow gar is very big plenty of weapons and forms and 2 man sets. regards Sifu Garry

In fact I think it will be a good side system for something like Jow Gar, I have a couple of friends (sifu's) that teach this system here in Australia. Did you start with Small Tiger?

If you cant hold a posture for that long then work up to it, remember listen to your body, you know the limit within yourself but make sure its not just your mind that is weak and its your muscular system People seem to either give up early or over do it me thinks and should gradually work up to holding positions for long periods of time. When you do Jaam Jong or slow moving meditations your body will dump a lot of rubbish into you system, the aches and pains are rubbish and until the body starts to heal or remove this rubbish you will get aches and pains. Good food and lots of water can also help, water especially after training to help flush out toxins as well that is why herbal medicine such as teas, tonic, soups are added for students incase they are not healthy enough for a certain set of meditations. If you are not told this or guided and that is why the meditations have levels and each level should be mastered otherwise FP should just have 1 meditation if you can pick and choose when and where you want to start in the system. If starting at level 3 meds gives you more or better results without the beginning levels such as level 1 then why have such a big system? I believe one must start at the beginning.... regards Sifu Garry

Good luck with it all mate, all the best!

Nice post Sihing, I have to admit the pain felt also relates with what organ is not firing right and is more of a warning so you can then readjust life style diet to maintain proper balance of the organs and meridians travelling through the said muscle groups for that exercise. This is the stuff im talking about that should be in Dvd productions not just follow the form and say yep, I got it now. Without being told why, when , where to a degree most students wont research what they do unless the sifu tells them or gives them homework to do. Like I said this is purly my experience with most DVD productions, the most basic and important information is left out that can help guide the student.

It helps when explanations are given behind the movements, after that its up to student to comprehend and research what they are doing! My 2cents worth!

Have you tried the candle ear thing that you light up and stick in your ears and pulls out gunk? Change in diet not as much mucus etc! just a thought..

Do you do any eye exercises to strengthen the eyes, rotations maybe some candle training?

Just like to add I havent seen the dvds of GMDW to make an assumption, although if he is showing the moves and explaining why , what where than that is a great buy. Im not hating on anyone just for the record just been my personal experience with this type of online training!!! Take care Sifu Garry

Sorry that hurt your feelings but its TRUE! Yes, its great that its out there definitely. Everyone enjoy the FP, do what your heart tells you... You said: However, it is absurd for you to say to a FP practitioner that he or she is not going to get a "true understanding" of a qigong meditation from watching "just a copy of the grandmaster." ME: That is correct, the grandmaster doesnt discuss on his demo's what its all about and that is why unless you are taught or spoken to a FP teacher to help guide you even if you have the Grandmaster doing it doesnt mean you gonna get results like Grandmaster. Correct I am not affiliated to Rizzo's or anyone but myself I run my own Business and association. I teach also what I learnt from GMDW no difference and I also promote and probably show more BFP and the Doo family arts than anyone on the www. Love to see the other BFP Sifu's putting some clips up of there training and stuff they received from GMDW. Sifu Garry

Not down grading any of the FP but who ever is with Sifu Terry should remain and stay with him following his FP. Sifu Terry has been doing this for a very long time and I know for a fact that he has put more into FP than any other BFP student under GMDW. What GMDW is showing is a different level, but without Terrys information your not gonna get the true understanding and just copy the grandmaster. Nothing wrong with that but if you havent been told anything about the FP how would you know what its about when you do it. Sifu Terry trained and specialised in this system under GMDW. Im not putting down the rizzo's just saying students should respect there teacher and not go the other thinking there gonna get something more powerful cause the Grandmaster is doing it. If you want to buy more info maybe ask Sifu Terry, remember Mo Duk!! Sifu Garry

Wishing all of sifu Terrys students and himself a Happy Chinese New Year, keep training guys FP has many things hidden within! Sifu Garry Hearfield

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0IAuRQX2n4 Sifu Christer Wretfors - simple breakdown but advance practice! This posture is found in many arts, but the name is what is important for this meditation. Thank Sifu Garry

You gotta be carefull with statements like this, bro. You are going to make a lot of enemies here. People don't like simple stuff. It has to be complicated and wrapped in magical words and also expensive and inaccessible. Awesome....

Great pic, im trying to make of the pattern inside the Sphere? Can I asked did you do any meditation or qi kung work 1-3 hrs before this pic?

I cant remember if you was into the Chinese zodiac / Astrology or not but if you was I have a question for you! Does the Western Astrology dates and animals/signs relate with the Chinese Calendar? Like what would Aries be in the Chinese Zodiac? Regards Sifu Garry

WTM, There is eyes closed and eyes open for monk viewing the moon in Bak Fu Pai, depending on what energy system you learning may have the eyes open or closed or both. Sifu Garry

Hi Christer, Yes, anytime as long as we can train and the weather isnt a white out!!! Sifu
