I feel I lost a good friend and teacher. I never met Mike, I only watched his
seminars and messages posted on websites. He was the best Kungfu practitioner
I’ve ever seen. I knew how to unleash the power of traditional kung fu.
It’s a great loss to the world of traditional martial art.
Rest in peace. Mike
I just wanted to say that , though i never got the chance to meet Mike, I appreciate his message that he has consistently demonstrated throughout all of his youtube videos. I find them insipirational and plan to take some ideas from them , and incorporate into my Training in Chinese Martial Arts as well. It is sad to see a living treasure of knowledge like Mike pass on. So I must say that I am still pleased that he was able to touch my life in the way that he has.
Here is a link to Mike’s Youtube account where you can find hours and hours of footage. I know with his seminars in New Mexico, and here in Seattle, WA. he basically took all the footage I gave him and edited it down to the meat and potatoes so to speak. Those of you around the world are lucky in that Mike believed in sharing every
thing. He used to say: “Jake, why worry about anyone stealing something from video? They were not their, they did not feel what was happening. I want the world to see that the Chinese martial arts are still going strong, because honestly I am worried about the quality of the teachings being passed down.”
