It is my distinct pleasure to recognize the efforts and dedication of Master Nick Scrima for his teaching and advancement of the traditional martial arts of China. His perseverance and sincere desire to see the art flourish in a most difficult business is a reflection of his outstanding character and competence as a martial art practitioner and businessperson. It has been an honor and pleasure to instruct him in the traditional systems of bajiquan, pigua zhang, and bagua zhang and without a doubt our friendship and martial arts relationship will continue for many years to come.
