Here are two clips that I practice Wing Chun with Guthrie, he is an expert of Wing Chun, has been practice different kind of martial arts since high school.
Thanks for his generous to share his knowlegde with me.

In these videos, we were doing "stick hand", which indeed has so many similarities with Tai Chi's free style push hand, like how to lead the oponent to open his space to create weak spot and filling up the space that was shown to the oponent. Each kind of martial art has it's language to deal with the attack, it is very interesting to learn about this.

The Final Frontier

I was asked to make a one minute video for a festival in HK before I came to US.
So, after all I learnt so many thing here, here is my one min video.

Version 3.45

I tried to make it shorter, in fact I cut almost 30 second, but then I add 2 second blank black in the front and I changed the end, so........ it's now around 6:45.

still could not figure out what to do in the second half. maybe I should just leave the stage. i have one more day to think about it.

version 3.0

I hope this is the last version, but.... you know..... you never know.
It's been really far from the very original thought. Or I shall say, somehow it brings me to here.
I am not sure what to do with this video, it seems that, it can stay alone itself.

There are some words and sentenses I would like to list down here about the video:
waiting, writing letter/lyrics, screen saver, want/dont want, hands, present/absent,
wait for 10 mins then you will see the screen saver
screen saver pop out when i am away for more than 10 mins
screen saver originally is made to save the screen, not for our appreciation
i used to put someone else's photo as a slide show for my screen saver but i rarely see them, and normally when i see them, i tape my space bar to back to my windows. and i dont want my friend to see those photos, so, before they come to visit me in my house, i will change my screen saver.
i want to write a letter to someone, but i feel like i should not write
i think lyrics is less direct to show someone's thought
i did not choose a very pin point music for this video, but it shows part of my thought
my thought is contradictory

Title name suddently pop up in my head this evening and that is : You are my screen saver.
Now, I truely have a direction of what this piece is about.
