Seattle Story 2

My daughter and I had a terrific time with the Wing Chun teacher in Lafayette! He spent 4 hours with us and it was the first time I had even done any Chi Sao! It really piqued my curiosity about the art and I think my daughter, Sarah (who was about 10 or 11 at the time) enjoyed it too. She never did follow Wing Chun much but ended up getting her Black Belt in Karate (we tested and passed the same day) a few years later. Eventually, we got the 2nd Dan in Karate and she taught at the Dojo for a number of years before heading off to college. She still has a good relationship with the Sensei.
A few months after meeting with the Wing Chun man in Lafayette, he sent me email and forwarded a sort of small book written about his exploits on the trip. He gave Sarah and I a very good review and talked about us a lot. But it was from him that I learned of the "local" teacher of Wing Chun about 15 miles south of Lafayette. I will call him Don (as of yet, I don't have permission to use his name or school). In the next blog, I will tell you a true story related to me from the travelling teacher about what happened to him in Tennessee!
