This is a very exciting moment for me as I sit here in the tranquility of my traditional courtyard home next to the Forbidden Palace, Beijing, the very heart of China.

Thus, I present myself in this space to reach all of you across the world, to share my musings and thoughts, my passions, but most of all to share my vision on the far-reaching relevance of traditional Chinese esoteric wisdoms that the Ancients simply refer to as The Five Skills "Wu Shu", in our modern times, in particular, its value in enriching each and everyone of our lives.

Please bear with me as I work towards streamlining the contents of my blog. My haste to get this blog launched is to give more time for those of you keen to catch me, those precious moments when I can set aside time to teach my father's Yap Cheng Hai Academy Courses. I will be conducting Elementary and Intermediate Classes in Melbourne, Australia in the first week of March 2008, so I look forward to imparting our lineage's wisdom to you.
