Balance Martial Arts

I am deeply honored and humbled. Thank you, Sifu and congratulations to George & David. And a shout out to the first of us, Master Kadel- The Mighty Lao Yang!

In our school's lineage, a student is eligible to be promoted to Disciple after five years, Sifu (Shrfu) or teacher-level after ten years, and Master after approximately 30 years. Whereas promoting to Disciple and Sifu is based on skill and dedication to training, Master is based also on successful teaching and dedication to students. I was happy to promote three more students to Master-level last night: Wes Adam's, my son George Lu, and David Block. Congratulations to each of you!

I think most people get that wei wu wei (為無為) isn't just doing nothing. But what is it?

It's not doing things that don't need to be done. And not doing the few things that actually need to be done the hard way. And--the hardest part for most human beings--just leaving well enough alone.
