hey, i know this is an old video, but for how long did you train there, and how was your outcome, besides educating yourself with knowledge and wisdom?

[brooklynmonk1]

i trained with hisham about once or twice a week for most of the time i was training in time, about 6 or seven months. in taiwan i trained at about three places because no one offered full time training.

@brooklynmonk1 How do you finance your full time training. I am trying to figure out a way to do this. What I mean is working, but having more than an average amount of time training?

Thanks

[brooklynmonk1]

@jmikejapan My full time job is Being-the-Monk, that pays most of my bills. But when that runs short, I teach, because I have a graduate degree in teaching. Also, I live very cheaply. If I didnt live like Ghandi, i wouldn't have so much freedom.

@brooklynmonk1 Cool. Do you find it difficult to get so many visas? Are you stationary for now or are you still traveling a lot? I'm sorry for asking such personal questions, but I am trying to figure out how to do what you are doing. You have my dream job, so I am trying to learn the ropes to make my dream a reality.

Thank you for answering my questions.

@jmikejapan With US passport, any of the countries I go to it's pretty easy to get a visa. I am not stationary right now.

please dont tell jay i used his song. i am his biggest fan and i think he could beat Rain in a fight like steven colbert did.

Love the monkey form movements he does at the end. Does anyone know which version of the monkey style this is? I know he says "stone monkey technique" but there are lots of different branches.
