Bamboo, I had a similar issue for awhile with one of my three masters, my Shaolin master currently in Las Vegas from Dallas. He did the same thing and we did not speak for about 2 years. Finally, we had a meeting one late night at a hotel in Dallas and I was very open and blunt with him, figuring I might not walk out of there alive! Instead, he surprised me by saying he had been waiting a long time for one of his seniors to express their opinion without fear and tell him these things...LOL. Of course, he sure did not act that way before!!
In any event, I have said enough....both my dear friend and brother Kisu and my young Sidei know how I feel. We have not heard back from my young brother but if I know him he has decided to get deeper into his studies and into his training at John Cheng's. He knows where to find his brothers in Houston if he desires.
Kisu, if you get a chance, give my brother Joel in Atlanta a call. He would love to hear from you!! I will email you this weekend.
Bamboo, glad to hear there are schools like that on your side of the fence too!!
