Kung Fu found

Here is the government building mentioned earlier.

As you can see off to the side many people are practicing different forms of Tai Qi. They have staves, swords, spears, and of course practice open hand as well.


But this is just the facade... it is behind the building that I go. To a small and secluded park. This is where I have found a place to study Kung Fu.

The park as you approach from the road is actually set back from the road.


This is the arena:

A nearby playground provides a soft surface for practicing jump kicks without such a tough penalty for failure:



The majestic canopy provides adequate shade from the intense Taiwan sun


It is a nice place

This is Mr. Huang, he is the one who has started to teach me. Today he poked me in the eye and mouth. He threw me by my chin too! He's not actually overdoing anything, I mean he has yet to hurt me, although it is my first week, but he is teaching me very thoroughly.


And this is us together after over an hour of training... notice the dark shade of my shirt near my chest and how it isn't lighter until below my waist.... I was soaked, but today is the birthday of Wong Fei Hong so everybody work out harder!
