Posted: 20 Jul 10 at 8:59am

Sifu McCoy has been rebuilding two very old Lion Heads for the passed six months. All of our Lion Heads are original, purchased over thirty years age and three of them are our oldest Lion Heads; a black Chung Fei, a muticolored Liu Bei and a Gold one. The Chung Fei and Liu Bei repersent two of the Three Brothers of the Peach Orchard (the third brother being General Kwans Red and Black Lion Head).
 
These two lion heads have received a lot of damage over the years, and needed to be more than just repaired so they have been taken down to their "skin" and holes repaired, repainted, redecorated with new fur, and custom made Pom Pom's have been ordered from our manufactoring plant in China; the next step is to make new Lion tails!

The Lehigh Valley Sports Extra, a sports newspaper covering all sports in the Lehigh Valley, recently ran a 500 word article on the Easton branch of the Shaolin Kung fu Institute.
 
The article interviewer centered in on questions concerning Dr. McCoy's Inside Kung fu Magazine article on the Six Tenets of a True Martial Art. Dr. McCoy explained what constitutes a "true" martial art by listing first what a martial art actually is, and then listing several sub sections on "activities" that use martial arts type skills like tournaments, sports, mixed martial arts and theatrics used in movies.
 
All these skills use "martial arts" but are not martial. Many styles today center in on reduced martial art by centering in on games, and sports which are useless in a street self defense situation.

Posted: 05 May 10 at 8:56pm

Mr. Dave Carter, editor of Inside Kung fu Magazine, has approved the fifth article by Dr. McCoy on The 7 Opponents and how to counter them. The 7 Opponents are a unique strategy developed by the founder of Northern Dragon Kung fu, Grandmaster Mu, Shou Feng in the 1300's.
 
This strategy teaches students how to identify what type of opponent the attacker is and how to counter that type; also, it is important to know which natural type "you" are so you know how to counter your own type if faced with it on the street.
 
The article is slated for the August cover issue. Look forward to more articles such as; San Xing Da Kuen Three Star Hit Form, The Kai Kung Shou Aggressive Hand Drills and more coming soon!
