Pietro Posted June 28, 2009 Some of you know about it, many of you are not touched by this, but I think there might be some of you who have learned something by Bruce teachings, even though you might never had the occasion to go and study with him directly. Now Bruce is reaching 60 (which is also the absolute minimum at which you are allowed to be called a master in China). 60 is a big thing in China, as it represents the completion of a cycle. (A natural lifetime being 120, two cycles). So if you have been touched by his teachings, if you feel like sharing something, if you don't know of other ways to do it, well, for the 60th birthday his students have set up a website, http://bruces60thbday.wordpress.com/, where you are also able to write messages. If you feel like writing something you can. I think the website was mainly aimed to his students around the globe, but since quite some people have been touched by his teachings, through his books, and in other indirect ways. I think it would give him a sense of how his work is spreading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idquest Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks, Pietro, for this After reading your post I had a look at Bruce's info in the web. It looks like the bulk of the material is devoted to baguazhang, as if it was Bruce's passion. Does he like / prefer baguazhang more than say taiji? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like the bulk of the material is devoted to baguazhang, as if it was Bruce's passion. Does he like / prefer baguazhang more than say taiji? Naa, it's just that the baguazhang instructor's training was coming up so they pushed more in that direction. The Youtube channel is a new addiction, and it hasn't been around long enough to represent everything that he teaches. Cheers, Pietro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
