Greetings!
I saw something very cool the other day, Google had translated
the Warrior Pages into French. There's something very weird about
seeing your own words in a language you don't speak. Kind of like
seeing John Wayne speak Japanese in a dubbed film.

by Marc Tedeschi
This is an excellent guide for
reconciling the Western and Eastern views of Medicine and the
inner workings of the body. Anybody trying to learn more about
Traditional Chinese Medicine understands that this is no small
feat. In addition, there are some sections on Martial
applications and revival techniques, although I'd be
hesitant....

| TAO TEH CHING, Chapter 41 |

When a wise scholar hears the Tao,
He practices it
diligently.
When a mediocre scholar hears the Tao,
He
wavers between belief and unbelief.
When a worthless
scholar hears the Tao,
He laughs boisterously at it.
But
if such a one does not laugh at it,
The Tao would not be
the Tao!
The Wise men of old have truly said:
- The bright Way looks dim.
- The progressive Way looks retrograde.
- The smooth Way looks rugged.
- High Virtue looks like an abyss.
- Great whiteness looks spotted.
- Abundant Virtue looks deficient.
- Established Virtue looks shabby.
- Solid Virtue looks as though melted.
- Great squareness has no corners.
- Great talents ripen late.
- Great sound is silent.
- Great Form is shapeless.
The Tao is hidden and nameless;
Yet it alone knows how
to render help and to fulfill.

Oh Baby! We've been busy. I've got about thirty minutes of
new video that I'll be adding over the next few weeks. This is
due to the outstanding Seminar hosted by Sensei Mark Baker
& Shuhari Martial Arts and Healing Center this weekend.
The videos include an extremely dynamic throwing
demonstration, Tai Chi applications, the renowned Tashi Troy
Price, and Sensei Baker himself. Most of these will be posted
in multiple parts.
Also, please take advantage of the new message board.
Everybody's been incredibly kind in their feedback, but I
would also like to learn of the site's shortcomings as well as
its good points. The message board's a great place to tell me
and help improve the site. Visit the Message Board....
