As one of the pioneers in this exchange, YMAA will continue to mark the path between East and West. It is our hope that this path will help lead to a new, benevolent society.” – Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming The key is balance. Most of us recognize that too much of a good thing is not always good. It’s reasonable to assume the opposite is also true. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), living in proper balance is good for health, hap- piness, and prosperity. Health—the soundness of any living organism—may be influenced by eating properly, balanced with relaxation (mind and body), along with proper exercise. Happiness—enjoying, giving, or indicating pleasure—may be experienced by having the essentials, balanced with knowing ourselves, being in harmony, and giving favor to friends and family. Prosperity—attainment of the object desired; material well-being; success—may arise when there is a ‘little extra’ balanced with service to others. It takes time and energy to achieve proper balance and obsessions can destroy it. The wonder- ful thing is that balance is in our control. Each of us can do it with a willing attitude. Our mission at YMAA is to have balance in our books and DVDs and to help our customers on the path towards balanced living. – David Ripianzi, Publisher Throughout the SKILL LEVEL catalog products are I II III marked with skill level labels.

  • Grandmaster Pui Chan: the Pioneer of Kung Fu in the U.S.A
    LIFE / HEALTH & FITNESS / FITNESS & EXERCISE Grandmaster Pui Chan: the pioneer of Kung Fu in the U.S.A. December 30, 2015 3:32 PM MST Three years ago, at Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine’s 25th Anniversary Gala, there were a couple dozens of the most outstanding Chinese martial artists from all over the world. They performed and provided an eye feast of astonishing martial arts. At age 74, Grandmaster Pui Chan was the most senior; nevertheless his performance was no less if not better than some other masters who were decades younger than him. I was utterly speechless watching him crouch down flat on the floor and spring right back in a split second. View all 9 photos The front door of Wah Lum Temple, Orlando, FL Wah Lum Temple Wah Lum Temple Recently, I was in Orlando, Florida for a family reunion. I did not want to pass on a great opportunity to meet the legend face-to-face. He invited me to meet with him at his school, Wah Lum Temple. He had a dental appointment in the morning and just finished up lunch when I showed up. I suggested that he rest for a while before we talked. The 77-year-old grandmaster shook his head energetically and led me through three large Kung Fu studios and a koi pond. There wasn’t any class during the lunch break but a few diligent students practiced Tai Chi (Taiji) and Kung Fu on their own. Finally, we entered Wah Lum Cultural Center, which was a ranch style building completed last year housing grandmaster’s office, three exhibit halls, one auditorium, and storage rooms.

  • Enter the Dragon? Wrestling with the Martial Arts Phenomenon Part One: the Historical-Philosophical Backdrop by Erwin De Castro, B
    STATEMENT DM066 Enter the Dragon? Wrestling with the Martial Arts Phenomenon Part One: The Historical-Philosophical Backdrop by Erwin de Castro, B. J. Oropeza, and Ron Rhodes High-flying kicks combined with deadly punches and lethal throws...A lone warrior single-handedly overpowering a band of burly attackers...An old sage imparting wisdom to a young, attentive disciple... These images depict how many people perceive the martial arts (literally, the arts of warfare) — and for good reason. Such popular images of Asian-based fighting techniques stem largely from stylized portrayals on the silver screen. Some of today’s leading action stars have made it big because of the martial arts. Bruce Lee, who tragically died in 1973 of a cerebral aneurysm, popularized the martial arts movie genre in the United States with films like Enter the Dragon, which to date has grossed $150 million. Karate champion Chuck Norris, who began his film career with a string of moderately budgeted martial arts movies, now commands nearly $2 million per turn and pals around with U.S. presidents.”1 Tough guy Steven Seagal, an aikido exponent who made his screen debut in 1988, has starred in five hits — each accumulating dollar earnings in the tens of millions. Belgian-born Jean-Claude Van Damme, one of today’s most popular movie heroes, also came on the scene in 1988 with a martial arts film that harvested a net sum of $19 million. Martial arts movies have also scored big with teens and children. The first two Karate Kid films — dealing with a teenage boy coming of age under the guidance of his mentor, an elderly karate expert from Okinawa — each grossed over $100 million.
