There are many heart-breaking but uplifting and inspirational stories about the Katrina victims, their lives among Kungfu and Kungfu Sanshou students. Liu Institute International, New Orleans has many students and their families like those lost everything from jobs, houses to basic living necessities: Patrick Barry, John Lutz, Raymond Williams, Andre Lutzura, Steve Quick, Jay Pelegrim, Emila Sosa, Shirley Chung, Lorence Moore, Lance Necaise and more than 5o students lost everything.

They not only help themselves but help others to live better putting their own grief on the side.
