His Belief
Master Jackiie believes that there is no one best martial art in the world, yet each has its own uniqueness. We must always be open-minded, ready to accept new style and new techniques.
Traditional martial art is just a ¡°pure art¡± to be practised for a healthy body rather than a skill for self-protection if it does not adapt to current environment and needs. Hence, one cannot be too rigid and conservative. We must be flexible, understand the concept and principle of the art, use your own creativity and apply the techniques to your own advantage.
He also believes that martial art training is a good mean for students especially teenagers to learn self-discipline, stay calm, be independent, be strong and be in harmony with everyone.
