697 (continued) And immediately Clara executed a series of
movements with grace, precision and energy. The man looked surprised as he
recognized that these were the movements he had just performed. When she finished, he asked: "Who taught
you this?” Clara, looking at him with a little mischievous
air: "A master taught me this." The man, still under the effect of surprise:
"What is the name of your master?" Clara: "I don't know because I don't know
him yet." The man realized that she had just learned the
moves from him, simply by watching him. It was the first time he met someone
able to learn a form so quickly. Interested, he gave her a scrutinizing eye.
This young woman had a high level of practice and was endowed with an
observation and an exceptional memory. Although impressed, he did not let it
show. The man asked: "Do you know the name of
this series of movements?" Clara: "No, but I would like to know it.
Can you tell me?" The man looked at her in the eyes and replied:
"No, not now. If you really want to know it, come back here
tomorrow." With that, he bowed giving a little nod and
left. The next morning, Clara returned to the beach.
The man was already there, doing his training. When he finished, Clara
greeted him. "You made me wait. It's too late now. Come
back tomorrow." After uttering these words, the man slipped away very
quickly. Clara was surprised and walked along the beach,
thinking. The next day, when the man came to the beach one minute after
midnight, Clara was already there, waiting for him. That night, Clara Ikube
was accepted as a disciple by Master Steve Hogan, who taught her the form
called Bat Nha, the same name as the sutra he declaimed while performing the
movements. In the years that followed that first meeting,
as a disciple Clara was allowed to participate in several international
martial art trainings directed by her master. During these sessions, taking
place in different countries like France, Italy, Portugal, Poland, and
Canada, Clara discovered that master Hogan, a university professor of
Research Methodology, was very knowledgeable in many fields of studies. After
an intensive training session in the Italian Alps, the master had explained
the importance of Seals in the world of martial arts and in Vietnam
traditional culture. He talked about the ancient national Sacred Seal, of
which today no-one knows the location. He would certainly be able to help her in
decoding the mysterious document that Nick P. Walker had given to her. (to be continued) |

This is
chiefly because I am never satisfied until I have said as much as
possible in a few
words, and writing briefly takes far more time than writing at length.
