Hello list Members, I was previously on the list and have just come back after a long break. Just a quick history. I started learning Bardons teachings in the late 80s in a group of about 70+ people in Brisbane Australia. We where taught quite quickly as we covered most of the three books in a short number of years. Obviously most people got left behind like myself and spent many years afterwards fixing the gaps in our training. I think our teacher new hew was only going to be here for a few years so he might as well transit as much as he can to those who can absorb it. He did not mention Bardons books. It was not until 1990 that I came Bardons texts and put 2&2 together. I live at the Gold Coast in Australia at present, but will be moving to Japan with my wife and daughter in July. I teach martial arts and chi kung for a living, mainly private lessons. I plan on retiring completely from martial arts in July when I move to Japan. I look forward to reading the many fine posts and occasionally contributing. Blessings Mark Rasmus
