A Graphic Novel for Young Martial Artists of all ages.
This interview made for an exciting Friday! Of the many I’ve been a part of lately, this one was so wide ranging; covering Maus (suddenly topical), Jabberjaw, The Matrix, The Matrix Resurrections and a handful of what I’ll continue to call Secrets from The Kung Fu Forest.
In today’s post we have a very special lesson to offer. Brian Kuttel is Program Director of the Doc-Fai Wong Martial Arts Center and a full-time instructor. He earned the title of Sifu and was accepted as a disciple under Tai Sifu Jason J. Wong in 2014. He has generously offered to share some of his teachings on the tiger of Choy Li Fut.
It is said the 28th Patriarch of Buddhism, Bodhidharma was also know in China as Tamo (達 摩). As the founder of the Zen school of Buddhism and Shaolin Kung Fu, there are many firsts attributed to him. This is just one such tale.
On week 6 of our #tigertuesday countdown We would like to reveal to you the first in a line of glossy stickers. This one is a three inch circle that will be available to supporters of our fourth coming crowdfunding campaign beginning on Feb 1, 2022.
Patrick and I had met prior to when I joined KUNG FU TAI CHI magazine. The first time was over dinner in 1996, back when I was working as a freelance writer. He had just come from the June+July cover shoot with Shi Yanming, the Shaolin Monk Sifu of RZA and the Wu-Tang Clan.
