There is a collection of sayings from Mr. Lee Shiu Pak nestled into the narrative tradition of our Tai Chi work. Mr. Lee was a renaissance man. He was a martial artist, a journalist, a scholar, a painter, and—as these sayings reveal—also something of a philosopher. In my early days at Rising Sun, Sifu used these sayings a lot. Probably the first I ever heard was: “Return with kindly accuracy. Not away from your centre.”
