I made 16mm movies and played them on my brother's projector. Once I'd achieved a level of proficiency at them, I moved on to other art forms. And I took those early attempts, knowing that they were crudely drawn and roughly crafted examples of writing, and worked on making improvements the next time I drew a comic book. I mean, I was nine, or ten, or eleven years old. I'm not saying that the comics were extraordinarily well drawn or the stories were examples of the craft of writing.

But what this early creation did was get me started with visual arts and design. I never sold any, never wanted to-they were just for me. I created my own comic books from characters to stories to drawing, inking, and coloring. Since I was a young boy I've been creating. I'll start from the beginning so this will make more sense. You see, I've used almost every talent I've ever had, every skill I ever practiced and refined, every experience I've had in the creation and promotion of my school.

It was almost as if I'd been unconsciously laying the foundation for this moment over the course of my entire life. But by the time I was ready to open the school, everything that I needed to start a school seemed to already be in place. The decision to open my own Kung fu school came after several years of very hard work (Kung fu), intense focus, and sacrifice.
