THE PLAYER HATER SERIES: EYE OF THE TIGER

After achieving 7th dan, I was training for my final grade in snake style Kung Fu.

I was instructed to Climb Wudan Mountain’s peak with my bare hands.

Half way to the summit, I collapsed from exhaustion. Unable to continue, I meditated to meet Prayer master Shi Yan Hui as he practised Zazen.

“I cannot continue” I exclaimed. “The task is too much.”

“Young Cobra” he started, “If there was a tiger behind you, sure to kill you if you stopped, what would you do?”

“If I must climb to live, I would climb.” was my reply.

“The tiger is a master of stealth. How would you know if it was behind you?”

“It’s near impossible to tell” I replied.

“Then you must always climb, just in case.”
