Question QUESTION: i don't mean to be impolite or offensive, but i have searched for a martial style that i believe to have a good build and mindset for, The Donkey, though i cannot seem to find an instructor in this subject, if you would know of any instructors, or any available texts or instructional videos on this subject i will be grateful for the help you offer
ANSWER: Hello Herbie,
Thanks for choosing all experts and me for your question.
I am afraid that I do not know of any DVD's on the subject or books either but then I have also not mounted a search for the information either. I was taught a form called the Donkey in the system that I practice but I do not yet have it on DVD or in book form either. I can't say that I know of any teachers who teach the form either. You do not mention where you are located. I have a fellow classmate from many years ago who also teaches but not knowing where you are located I do not know that he is near you.
I wish I could be of more help but keep up your search and I am sure you will find what you are looking for. Have a great day and good luck in your training.
Sincerely,
Sifu Richard Mieir-King

QUESTION: i apologize, i am located in Lincoln, NE. does he have a site to go to for details on the Donkey?
Answer Hello Herbie,
Well, the gentlemen I was refering to is in Northern California, I know he has a donkey form and I have a donkey form (we practice the same system). But there is not really any info on his website to download on the donkey. This, however, is his website address www.energeticartscenter.com . I am afraid that I don't know anyone in your area that can assist you but that does not mean that there isn't anyone there, keep looking and feel free to keep in touch with me, my e-mail is on my website address. Good luck in your training!
