Canes are Cool

Boy am I glad I went to Master McNeill’s seminars last weekend. I never realized how brutal a weapon the cane can be. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet such an amazing martial artist (hopefully not the last time). I learned a lot during the three sessions, I have a new outlook on pressure points, my eyes are opened to new worlds. I think I enjoyed the healing seminar more than anything, it’s something I’m not often exposed to (or exposed for, HEY OH!) and I learned tons of useful information. I know everyone from the Kwoon had a blast, thanks for coming out Master McNeill!

What left the biggest impression on me was Master McNeill’s fantastic personality and sense of humor. He had the whole class laughing the entire time and was very personable. He really seemed to reinforce the “Family” aspect of the martial arts. I think he single handedly managed to bring our kung Fu family a little bit closer together. I liked his talk about journaling and how it’s the most important part of the UBBT. I’ve come to agree with him and its now my favorite requirement. Last weekend was awesome and a fantastic motivator to keep on living with intensity.
