Leo Fong started a recent seminar with a great story about Abe Lincoln. One of his greatest quotes was “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe”. Sometimes it is not important how many styles you study or how many techniques you know. It is important to perfect the ones you have been given.

I am currently attending two FMA schools. The training methods of both schools is having an effect on me in such a way that I am basically practicing a blend of the two systems. When I practice and train, I discover certain truths and patterns that it is not rare that I find myself doing a variation of what was originally taught to me.

As my DeCuerdas students shuffled through the door of the gymnasium in which we train I was greeted with several handshakes and a fist bump.
