To all our amazing Paxtial Arts Ambassadors,
We are most grateful for your patience.
This is what has been going on with the lessons;
Baer's and my computers gave up the ghost and it was most devastating. It was actually a miracle we accomplished what we did with them. So with two dead Macs we had to raise funds to replace them.
Inspiration came as it often does early one morning when we were surrounded by the Durkee fires here in Eastern Oregon.
We took all of the names of dad’s Kenpo Forms and Self Defense techniques, our son in Taiwan translated the names into kanji and they were all illustrated in a black and white Chinese art style.
Over 170 pieces of artwork have been completed for American Kenpo and we were able to raise the funds for our computers from the 10 limited edition Kenpo Forms artwork alone.
We have not released the 157 American Kenpo techniques artwork yet. The annoying need to sleep gets in the way.
In order to stay in operation we needed the residuals from artwork to float the Paxtial Arts as we do not have the student numbers we need to be self sustaining yet.
With that being said, we want to let you all know that we do NOT want to market the Paxtial Arts as we only want the cream of the crop of minds and hearts out there to come to us.
That way the base will stay solid. We know that the best of the best are coming to us. We want International Ambassador quality lives involved in the foundation of Paxtial Arts.
We also just finished the entire Shaolin Kenpo Forms artwork of 40 pieces. This has been the most artwork we have ever completed and in the shortest amount of time; from July to today.
We have a website yet to build called The Art of Kenpo. This website will feature all the artwork that will supplement the Paxtial Arts Online Courses. That will be a side project for now.
Baer and I have purchased new faster computers and switched to Elon's Star Link as our internet service was crippling us with 10 mbps downloads and 1 mbps uploads. Working on lessons was like wading through a lake of peanut butter daily.
Star Link is 1,000 times better than what we previously had. If you are thinking of switching we have discount links we can send you.
Paxtial Arts is again our primary focus and as of today are full time on it again.
Thank you all sooo much for your patience and hard work in the background. We have been amazed at all you are doing to further the Paxtial Arts in hearts and minds globally.
Aloha and Maluhia!
Ed and Baer
I know what you are saying when you say this is not something to advertise (which i understand, I'd do the same thing) but to attract the cream of the crop of minds and hearts... it's both inspiring and unnerving to realize that. Espically since I'm in it. I may not be cream of the crop but I know a lot of people who are and with their example and working at it I can become cream of the crop. I think it's something where we all lift where we are. We all have a little to offer even if all we have to offer right now is we are learning. If in process of all this we stay true to the overall vision for this we will end up with something greater than envisioned. I think I know where this movement is going. If we can keep true. To the original intent it will have a role to play in a greater tomorrow. I'm humbled yet inspired to know I'm a part of it
