October 

We spent a beautiful day doing Chalk Art in support of  New Tech High School in Napa Ca...

We spent time in the studio...

We went to to the Glashoff's Barbeque...

                                     Now on to November!

We're wishing you all a  happy holiday,

The crew at Chi The World


           

Sifu Kane Traywick's Picks:


Summer is always a great time for Chi The World friends and family to get together. We have a lot of fun working together and playing together. Swimming holes, barbeques, practice, movie watching and art projects are a few things we like to share.

So, I decided to share a couple of martial arts movies that I liked enough to watch twice.


There are two movie trailers... Ong-Bok 3 and Ip Man 3 and the full movie version of Bruce Lee's Way of the Dragon. 


Enjoy the show...
and your summer,
Kane

How to Make Your Summer Photo's Pop:

Summer is a time for fun, travel and great photo ops.  I found these two simple photoshop tutorials that will make your photos unique and interesting. 

One can even duplicate the Nashville instagram effect. Nashville is designed to give your photos a vintage quality. 


The lomo effect is a very simple tutorial that teaches a great color curve.

Both designers have many tutorials to choose from on their YouTube channels. This may be my Fav summer photo find!


Have an awesome summer,
Lou

Check out this interview with
Sifu Ip Chun son of the legendary Wing Chun Grand Master Ip man. Sifu Ip Chun, an active 84 year-old, currently teaches classes at the Ving Tsun Athletic Association that is headquartered in Mong Kok. 


He carries on the legacy of Wing Chun that was made popular around the world by his father.


This insightful interview about the philosophy, legacy and health benefits of Wing Chun is very interesting and worth sharing with all of our Chi The World friends. Share some chi and pass it on.

Music...The Quickening Art

Alive Inside
We just had to share this amazing video. Alive Inside is a short documentary film about the effects of music on the human mind and spirit. In a little over six minutes, it speaks volumes about the importance and power of music. The video is part of the Music and Memory Project. http://www.MusicandMemory.org. 

Many Thanks to Overdose of WPO for sharing this.

        Keith's Picks: Book of the Week  

I just started reading Waterborn by J. Gregory Keyes. It's an epic story of two people destined to meet. Their experiences and their battles within and without are thought provoking and exciting. This book has strong characters and immediatly draws you into to the plot from the point of view of the characters.


This fight against the Gods already has me hanging. The world of Waterborn takes your imagination into places few authors can take you. Enjoy this geat read.
