Training with the Kung Fu Fam

Wow, March seems to be flying by! We are already more than halfway through the month in what seems like the blink of an eye. Three more days and Spring will officially be upon us! As fast as things seem to be happening, we at Red Tiger have been fortunate enough take advantage of some extra training opportunities during the first half of the month. First, I’d like to give a shout out to my Sibak, Master Chango Noaks of Meng’s Martial Arts of Richmond, IN. He did a double-header at the beginning of the month, first on Saturday March 2nd, giving a seminar, open to Meng’s affiliates in the tri-state area, at Blue Lantern Martial Arts in Elsmere, KY, owned by my kung fu brother Sifu Dane Griffith and then on Sunday March 3rd, specifically for the senior students of MY Sifu, John Lambert, at his home, the home of Meng’s Martial Arts of Cincinnati.

Then, as always it was a privilege to get the opportunity to learn from the founder of Shaolin Wing Chun, GM Benny Meng at a March 10th workshop held at The Kung Fu Studio, in the Cincinnati suburb of Colerain, owned and operated by my Sisuk, Sifu Damian Raad.

It is always an enlightening experience train with different martial artists that you don’t see every day. It’s through exposure to different perspectives that you can really level up your understanding of the art, the world around you and yourself.
