Caption: Sifu Wes Adams (foreground right) with his son, James Adams (foreground left) and students (background) at his birthday potluck social on October 6th. It is a tradition in traditional Chinese martial arts schools for students to honor their Sifu’s (teacher’s) birthday as a show of gratitude for his/her efforts to pass on the arts. Happy Birthday, Sifu Adams! Photo courtesy of Rachel Prevost.
