Iskote Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) Hello Every time i see this photo of Great Grand Master Huo Yuanjia, i feel there is wisdom in that photo, honest i remember of a childhood Chinese friend that i meet someday long time ago after a fight!  I feel that i and Great Grand Master Huo Yuanjia are in the same way in some kind of way! I know i never be so good in martial art like Great Grand Master Huo Yuanjia was, but i feel that there is something that i and Great Grand Master Huo Yuanjia have in common, something that i still try to understand what it is!  Here is a poem by me to: Great Grand Master Huo Yuanjia:  You were so strong and pure Like the thunders itself, like the sun and heavy rain Your life was hard nothing to compare to my May God bless your tears and the powerful heroic power that you had May time not forget that Time is all, time is life PS. This song and music had help me, in writing this poem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjnKa1e8UX4 Master Huo Yuanjia, i hope and pray you feel calm there you are. Good Bye  Nice words Magus. The accomplishments of others can inspire and motivate us to work harder towards our own goals, and thus help us to achieve more that we might have otherwise. Happiness, sadness, achieving and not achieving, etc., are all part of the mosaic of life. From our various experiences we hopefully learn and grow. In my view, it is not so good to dwell too much on any one aspect though, as it may cause too much imbalance in our life. If one is feeling down, practicing martial arts is always a good way to help bring things back more into balance. We should be grateful to the many martial arts practiitioners and teachers who came before us, and who helped develop, perfect, and pass on the various martial arts and related practices, so that we can enjoy the benefits today.  Best wishes from Iskote...

Iskote Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) Is true Iskote that we should learn and remember these great Masters that lived in a time that it seems like gone for us! And i had hear also that that you say: That practicing in Martial Arts makes your life feel a more stronger life to keep o living in the right way!! Sad that there is not a video or book by Great Grand Master Huo Yunjia? Regards  Here is a little about Huo Yuanjia for those who have not heard of him: http://kaleidoscope.cultural-china.com/en/...oscope3729.html  Jet Li starred in a movie loosely based on the life of Huo Yuanjia, called 'Fearless' in the USA and UK. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fearless_(2006_film)  Are any of these books about his life?: http://openlibrary.org/search?q=Huo+Yuanjia  Best wishes from Iskote...
