How to approach Shifu Jiang and Monkey Fist Door

There are a lot of questions surrounding how to train with Shifu Jiang—from seminars to 1-on-1 training to visiting him in Taiwan. Shifu Jiang has been teaching martial arts for a very long time. Over time, he has developed a system that best fits his teaching and students. For example, training with him 1-on-1 without any background in the Monkey Fist Door system may not be beneficial because time is precious; having him teach you the basics is not a good use of the time because he expects you to know a degree of the Monkey Fist style. The tutorials are made for a reason:

1. So you can practice the form

2. Understand the movement

3. Become familiar with the sequence

The 1-on-1 with him will yield many more benefits because Shifu Jiang can improve and give live feedback on your practice. This way your improvement is incremental. We live in a culture that looks for fast solutions; however, they come with a cost—a strong foundation is not built through a quick approach. In fact, it takes time and deliberate practice to achieve mastery. With that being said, here's a guideline for what you are seeking from Shifu Jiang:
