Year of the Tiger

2010 marks the year of the Tiger and which is appropriate for the ISSA.

We've got big things coming soon. We'll soon announce some very exciting news. Something we've been waiting on and working towards for a very long time.

I think it's pretty easy to imagine that the year of the Tiger is the year to leap into action. The Tiger takes chances and makes change. It's a proactive beast that gets things done.

On February 14 we will leave the year of the Ox. The Ox symbolizes hard work and preparation. It's definitely been that.

In our final preparations we will be working on this site. So if you see weird things going on on the site over the next few weeks that's why. We'll try to keep it operational but we do have some hurdles to overcome as we update to a new technology.

We'll also be putting into action projects to move the ISSA forward. We'd like your help. There will a few projects that just about anybody can jump in and help on. Some we can't do without your help. This will free me up for the more technical aspects and move things forward as quickly as possible.

One of those things will be creating an account and becoming active at www.shoushu.com (our public site)
So if you have not created an account there yet please do so at
http://www.shoushu.com/user/register
I'll try to check in and activate accounts as often as possible.
There is the oportunity to create a very detailed profile and we ask that you please do so. Become active and comment to the posts.

I'm also working hard on some video projects. Trying to get as much Shou Shu demo material up on the web as possible. This helps me promote the art of Shou' Shu' to the world. Something we all want. So if you have demos on any type of format plase send them to me at
139 Main St.
Valley Springs, CA 95252
I'll convert them and get them up online. You can find the ones I've done already on www.shoushu.com and a variety of the popular video sites (I'll link to them when I get a chance) but they should be pretty easy to find.

So stay tuned for the great news coming very soon. Help us cheer in the year of the tiger !!! It's going to be a great year!!!
