Comments From Shifu Martin Ware. I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit our website, and I hope it has answered all of your questions. I started Kung Fu when I was 10, my older brother had been taking classes for a year. He would come home and show me and my younger brother moves. When I started it was basically because my mother wanted me to have more self confidence and to be able to defend my self as I entered the public school system. What I knew about Kung Fu before that year with my brother was basically what I had seen on T.V., Green Hornet and Kung Fu the series. I will admit that it opened the door, but little did I know that it would be a life long journey. After my third year studying Kung Fu, from Grandmaster Huang-Chien Liang, I realized that my goal was to someday teach and have quality students. I can honestly say I was not the fastest learner in my class, but I consider that an asset. It helped me develop even more patience than the normal instructor. I know what it feels like to struggle through classes and new techniques. My instructor, Grandmaster Huang-Chien Liang, expected hardwork and dedication from all of his students, and knew how to push us to reach our next goal. Yet he was still approachable. Which is a quality that I strive to emulate myself. I remember one incident in my martial arts experience where I got suspended from the Kung Fu school for being disrespectful and, it just so happened that, at that time my instructor was going to cosign for my first car. I just knew it would not happen now, but on the day that we had planned to meet he called me at home and asked how come I was not at the school at the planned time. I ran to the school and we took care of the paperwork and finalized everything for purchasing my car, a 1978 Mustang Mach 2 with T tops and a 302 engine. I firmly believe that there must be a relationship between student and teacher
that is built on trust and dedication from both ends. This will form a bond that
will never be forgotten. I would like to thank my mom for enrolling me into martial arts classes, even when times were hard for us. I would like to humbly thank Grandmaster Huang-Chien Liang for taking me as a student and for letting me continue even though I was unable to pay for classes any longer after my parents divorce. As you can see Kung fu has affected my life in a tremendous way, and I'm not sure where I would be without your guidance. And I would like to thank my older brother who also allowed me to train and teach at his school for several years. I would like to take this time to also thank my staff, whom have always made me proud of the effort and energy they put forth. Giving Back to the Community.
