Hawaii Origin Martial Arts: I want to know about martial arts ethics for my own understanding?

My grandfather migrated to Hawaii and to San Francisco with his four brothers in the late 1800s. My family is China's royal family (1644 to 2007). The main unit is composed our four main lineages represented by four brothers selected by the clan (Chin Yin Tong Family Hall). Professor Chow's father was the youngest of the four. If our family and clan is struggling and needed other people's help, would, should Professor Chow's martial arts students and followers help preserve the old traditions and culture of the Professor's? How important is cultural preservation? What kind of dedication should martial arts people render unto the founder of a practice? Should they ignore the man's family, who are the Imperial princes of China, now residing in America, without any sense of Chinese cultural values? When the Imperial family returns to China, it will be absent one lineage. Is this right of martial arts people to do this to China's Imperial family? I would like to find answers. . =============================== Links for getting to know the China's Imperial family, who they are, what they believe in, and their view of Americas: http://www.myspace.com/centerkingdom http://chinatownhawaii.com (links at top) http://www.geocities.com/zhouclan/chia_pu.html =============================== THE CONCERN: As to China's Imperial succession, it is published and known in China as well as in America. The question here is whether martial artist studying under Professor Chow are loyal to the Professor's ideals and family. Do they appreciate what the Professor taught and would they want to better their schools, so that it would reflect the goodness of Professor Chow. THE ANSWER: Perhaps, the reason why some or all of the schools that call themselves Kempo from Professor Chow's MA family tree do not honor the Professor by honoring his family is (1) because they are not familiar with Chinese custom or (2) they have no intention of donating money. By giving, people generally receive more in the end. Greed often blinds us and if martial artist could save China's Emperor's life by being a part of the family by a refusal to do such they are allowing his goodness to die. A case of no gratitude and/or ignorance on the part of many and on the part of the leaders. . My Professor Chow website: http://chinatownhawaii.com/professorchow December 30, 2007 .

3. Bologna Italy... I am John Gotti Jr and I know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried. Now that you are working for NASA and the CIA what does your Little Orphan Annie decoder ring tell you about the difference between neurotic and psychotic.
4. dude, many people in China are descendants of imperial families, since China has so many dynasties and the emperors had so many wives and children, according to your theory, I'm descendant of imperial family too, descendant of Chow dynasty ( 1062 BC ~ 221 BC), and my ancestors were always intellectuals throughout China's history, forget about what imperials, the past is in the past, and nothing is permanent.
