August 2011 Texas Workshop Feedback
Friday 12th and Saturday 13th
Meng's Martial Arts Houston Workshop


 
The workshop was great. All that was given at the workshop makes you think of kung fu in a NEW way, something that can be used in every part of life.The way to understand oneself, to the art. The time went by so fast. It was cool that it does not matter were you are as a student of the art you can always pick up more. And seeing thing told in a different light will make new doors open. The workshop that  GM Meng put on are always an eye opener.

Today marks the second time I've seen Grand Master Meng come to Houston to display the power of HKB. The first time was an introduction to many new concepts. It was difficult to disconnect my body but definitely awe inspiring in regards to the potential power transfer.
 
This time we went over many similar drills but having a second look definitely helped further my understanding of the concepts. While still introductory, I feel like I'm understanding HKB and my own kung fu journey in a better light.
 
Disconnecting will be a challenge but I now understand the importance of tendons in HKB - pure muscle is not the end-all, be-all. I look forward to continuing my journey and improving my own skill. I'm glad to be a student under Sifu Brad Ryan and Sigung Benny Meng.

The seminar overall was great, 10 out of 10
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The way the six wisdom were explained made perfect sense. I have studied many martial art systems and I've not heard a better explanation on style and detachment. The way the six wisdom relate to human nature is completely true. Understanding that there are different methods of power generation is key to further develop potential. I look forward to the new book about the Six Wisdom. Also the explanations  and developing the HKB power was amazing knowledge. I hope to continue my journey with the new knowledge of the Black Flag System.

Thank you for coming and I look forward to December and February!

I've been, bit by bit, "dipping my toe" into the Hek Ki Boen training over the last two years. I love that we're on the "bleeding edge" of the HKB training - every time I learn the mechanics of HKB better, I'm learning and understanding much more of the principles behind the system. Thanks to Sigung Meng for sharing this with us Steve Grimes

I though that this seminar was good for a beginner like myself because it showed me how I need to act and think in kung fu before I develop the wrong mindset. I thought my punches weren't very powerful until I came here.
Detachment helped me realize that even the tiniest person can hit and affect a big, strong, heavy person. Or in my case, a small girl can beat up a heavier  guy. So thank you for coming and filling all of us in on the secret society.

I'm a beginner. A white sash. This seminar made me like kung fu even more.
Sifu and Daniel and really all the teachers here are great, and they care for their students which is reality helps us learn more.

I've enjoyed this seminar, learning the history of Shaolin Kung Fu. It opened up my mind about my own life and things I'm growing through. What I learned today I will use in my growth and experience, and continue my journey.
 
I've always been interested in Wing Chun, and it was a learning experience to have Grand Master Meng teach us. I've truly enjoyed this seminar, and glad to have had this wonderful opportunity. Thank you so much!

Coming away from this seminar with not only new kung fu skills but life skills. Grand Master Benny Meng has helped me affirm that I am on my right path. Through my martial arts training and life. Martial arts is a lifestyle, not a fight style.

The Hek Ki Boen seminar was a well constructed lesson and introduction to using no muscles for the transfer of energy. It illuminated the possibility of power separate from the body and allows for efficient energy transfer. I appreciate that the lesson introduced the basic concepts and applications in an initial exposure to the technique. I hope to practice and integrate the techniques into my normal training skills.
