just wanted to say thanks to Sifu Richard Loewenhagen and the Chandler HFY school

Thanks to all of you in AZ!!! I could not have received a kinder welcome, or made to feel more at home.

It was a great great learning experience for me as well, as it's hard not to hang out with Sifu Richard for a day and not learn something. It was also especially nice due to the fact that it was not during a formal seminar, and I could just hang out and take note of the daily workings of your school.

During the training, via the current curriculum, I gained a greater insight into other martial arts, their weaknesses and their inefficiencies. This of course reinforiced even more my belief in HFY. I also got to see more on Sifu Loewenhagen's appreciation of HFY from his scientific war tactics approach.

I can definitely see why you guys stick around out there. I see now how we at headquarters our not unique, in as much that your Sifu really takes a part in your instruction too.

Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing you all in October.

Hi Sisuk,
It was nice to see you again as well, even though my visit to the kwoon was short that day. I could not remember what you looked like for the life of me! :) Certainly now I will know the face of Duende. I'm sure you had an excellent time with Sifu Loewenhagen, and for a whole day as well!

If I hadn't called Sifu that day, I might have never got to see you this trip! When he told me you were visiting, I got myself out of stay-home-sick-mode (stomache flu) and came over to say hi.

Glad you enjoyed your trip, and will definitely see you in October!
