As a student of Master Joe from the early days of the Austin school [Bill was among my first Texas black belt students] and now living in Denver, I wanted to share two thoughts with people that might be thinking about joining or have recently joined: Shaolin-Do changed my life! The training Master Joe has shared has touched on so many critical parts of living right, from exercise and diet to mediation and philosophy. In this information age we are constantly barraged with this or that craze that promise a quick solution to our problems. In contrast Shaolin-Do provides an approach, a way, to make concrete changes that have improved my life both physically and mentally (strength, energy, balance, concentration, endurance, and perspective to name a few). These effects are not instantaneous; rather they require both time and effort. The understanding of the value of this commitment is part of the training. In addition, being surrounded by people who share this commitment is a powerful force that makes the journey even more rewarding. I owe Master Joe a huge debt for the time, dedication, and immense generosity of spirit with which he has built this school. In training here you will find both a community and family that will change your life as well.
