Richard Dean.

Another “crane” waiting in the wings , hehehe love the pun, is Richard Dean.

Met him only 2 years ago, already his dedication and tenacity are clearly noted.

With a MA background ranging from TKD, Shotokan Karate and high school wrestling his fixation, however, is traditional Chinese Kung Fu.

This led him to 5 Animals Kung Fu and later Wayne’s curriculum of Lohan, Grand Ancestor and Fuzhou Cranes.

Rich visited me in S E Asia last year and the 10 days or so that we interacted, I found his zeal for the arts remarkable, taking notes of every thing that I was giving out.

His love for the Cranes is going to take him far in his quest and hey, like I said earlier, when the student is ready, the teacher will come ……..

Every journey begins with that first step and thousands more after that.

Welcome to the journey Rich……..
