| AWS and Capital One Visa - Support us |
|
With a hard economy hitting us all over the world it is difficult to be generous today. The AWS has been standing a little over 20 years, as President I have volunteered my work to keep China's national art alive in New York and the world. The AWS was made an offer to join with Capital One Visa credit card. Your support will help the AWS continue its work spreading China's culture as well as the keeping the Wu Shu Youth program alive. Capital One gives the AWS $50 upon the first purchase of a new approved AWS/Capital One Card Lab connect cardholders and 2% on gas and groceries and 1% of other purchases is paid to the AWS. This too is a program where a small donation is given per family not per child and in return the family gets a tax certificate at end of the year and well behave educated children who respect themselves. Please consult your tax advisor or preparer as to whether this donation is tax deductible for you. Apply today!!!

| Superstars of Dance on NBC |

Superstars of Dance Sunday January 4 at 9pm EST
I enjoy dance competitions very much but I must say that I was disgusted to see that representing true China traditional dancers were a bunch of Shaolin Monks performing as well. It is a dance competition not a performing arts competition.
I have been teaching 29 years focusing on technique and explaining form movements as it is applied to combat situations. I am bothered by ignorance that Wu Shu is a dance. If you type in english the words Martial Arts and translate to Chinese Characters you will see Wu Shu comes up. To see this nonsense on USA Television just makes my work go down the drain.
Worst of all as a judge there sits a Shaolin Monk who gives every performance an 8.0. This show will continue on Monday nights so if you missed it you can see it. Performers are actually dancing in their chosen crafts and along comes Shaolin kids performing Modern Wu Shu Skills and Iron Shirt demonstrations resting their bodies on Spear heads as they are elevated by 8 monks. This does not belong in this type of competition. Now I will hear how great Wu Shu dance is.

| Councilman Peter Vallone Jr and our Wu Shu kids |
DiTan Wu Shu program for kids is a Free program taught to kids from all boroughs of New York City. This program is made possible through the support of Councilman Peter F. Vallone Jr. The kids were happy that you made the time one Monday evening to come, view and share a few words with the kids. My goal is to open a warehouse type school because Wu Shu needs a high ceiling and at least 2700 square foot training space. My work then will open its doors 6 days a week where the student will have a 2nd home away from home. I plan to offer academic tutoring. None of this is possible without people who have the power to make a difference and sharing in my dream. Donations and contributions help to run the AWS office but we the AWS need federal funding, state funding to open a school. Wu Shu will make its debut during the Olympic Games next year in Beijing 2008 and the world will see all its beauty. Remember all the beauty of sport and discipline in the world means nothing without the proper heart and leadership.

| Wellness Program in Puerto Rico |
Master Edward Aguirre was invited to San Juan Puerto Rico to introduce a wellness program to the Condado Plaza Hotel and Casino. For the last 3 weeks since June 19 we have structured a program for all employees of the hotel. Close to 300 participants have been motivated to partake in this new exercise program that includes yoga, pilates, stretching, conditioning, breathing exercises, self defense, boxing, nutrition advice and a little bit of Wu Shu. All the participants range from mid 20's to early 60's and they all love the motivation and the feeling they get when they are finished with each class.
The program will last until August 15th.

| Puerto Rico Wu Shu Society wins 3 2nd place medals in Russia |
|
It is 3am and I just arrived 12 hours ago. At this moment I wish that USA athletes would have responded to this invitation because it was a great experience. I want to congratulate Reynaldo Rosario and Emily Katy Burgos students of Shifu Hector Santiago of Puerto Rico Wu Shu Society. I am very proud that with only 2 months to prepare since my seminar last december they decided to go and Win! Reynaldo competed in 3 events agains 15-18 athletes and emerged with a 2nd Place in Nanquan with a total score of 9.483 and a 2nd Place in Gun Shu with a total of 9.566, his third event he came in 7th Place with 9.3. Emily Katy took 2nd Place in Nan Dao with a total score of 9.133 in her Nanquan she took 7th Place with a total of 8.933 and her Nangun she took 5th place with 9.083. Since Puerto Rico is considered part of the USA they represented the American Wu Shu Society but the credit should go to Puerto Rico. Congratulations once again for your courage and sacrifices, imagine two caribbean people in Russia against powerful and serious athletes from many regions of Russia and East Europe.
I want to thank our most gracious host Ms. Eleonora Volokontseva. She impressed me more then anyone in my Wu Shu life. This lady is not only serious about Wu Shu but in every aspect super professional. She said we are the first group of Wu Shu athletes that has set foot in Russia for competition. If the IWuF Championship last year been in Moscow as the original plan then we would have been the 2nd group.....

| Invitation to all Members and Guests |
Greetings to all who read this:
I would like to extend an invitation to all of you who frequent this website. I created this website 3 years ago to educate people on Wu Shu. Many people email me asking for help and many want to use my words and materials for their websites.
This website really needs your input in the Forums. I feel that the ideas of a clean mind (meaning someone who is new to Wu Shu) can give new light and hope to the future of this art. I am tired of people complaining rather then state what HE or SHE can do to make the art grow. I will continue to travel the world to teach and promote quality Wu Shu. I would be happy if all of you who visit this website to not just look at the cool pics and the video clips but to make the time to enter the FORUMS link and write what you like about the art or ask a question about a technique you are trying to accomplish. This world is tough and here on this website I do not want criticism or complaints unless it is news that people need to know about. The more people complain about leaders, promoters, coaches, competitors, new forms, old forms, the more YOUR words are destroying the art and pushing new hope away from Wu Shu. Compared to the popularity of Karate and Tae Kwon Do, Wu Shu is NO WHERE on the map. So why would a new face want to get involved. I am a strong and energetic man who will never give up. Misery loves company so do not bring it here or I will terminate the forums and all this site will offer is the education on Wu Shu of all kinds and nice photos from around the world with athletes who really spend the time training to be champions.

| My thanks to the Puerto Rico Wu Shu Society |
We have just finished the Second Wu Shu Seminar held in Cayey, Puerto Rico.
Shifu Hector Santiago I want to thank you for welcoming me again for the 3rd time. The Second time I went was to host the Caribbean Cup 1. I was happy to see your family and your beautiful new son. I also want to say thank you to the participants: Eliel Negron, Kathy Burgos, Ricardo Ortiz, Izael Tavarez, Yadira Ortiz, Shawn Melendez, Alexander Sarruf, Ileana Figueroa, Jose Colon and Reynaldo Rosario. I know most of you work 10 - 13 hours a day and made time as best as you could to come and learn. I also wish to thank the Melendez family for welcoming me to their home and spending time to sightsee with me.
This was the first time in Puerto Rico I had a chance to see how pretty the island really is. I did not kill myself like I usually do running country to country. The food was great and the company better. I also want to thank all of you who extended open arms to my student Miguel Taveras who accompanied me just to learn and travel.
My only disappointment is not finding a "CHUPACABRA" t-shirt, even though my kids are afraid of the beast, they would have laughed. No more text after this.
