I bring out the strategist in each participant

Sun Zi Bing Fa (Art of War) is from Yijing, because Win Without Fighting is what it advocates.

I, Andy Ng, have been teaching courses on The Art of War since 2009. In August 2025 alone, I conducted two one-day classes on August 1 and 11. The attendees included many non-Chinese individuals, mostly from the government sector. 

I incorporate Yijing elements into my teaching, and I focus on applications in day-to-day life

Because true strategy is not about defeating others—it’s about mastering the self, aligning with the unseen forces, and moving with Heaven’s timing.

In all my Sun Zi Bing Fa programs, I don’t just teach tactics—I train inner generals. I bring out the strategist in each participant. Whether you’re a policymaker, a business leader, or a frontline officer, you’ll walk away with clarity, conviction, and calm power.

Through the lens of Yijing, I help people decode the invisible. Each of the 13 chapters in Sun Zi’s work reveals timeless wisdom that can be applied not only in boardrooms or battlefields, but in tough conversations, personal conflicts, and strategic decisions.

I translate complex ancient texts into living insights.
My students learn:

  • How to win without fighting—by shifting energy, changing timing, and using perception to their advantage.

  • How to spot the hidden traps—such as ego-driven decisions, misaligned teams, or wrong timing.

  • How to strike when the time is ripe—the true meaning of “兵贵神速” (Speed is Divine).

That’s why my classes attract more and more non-Chinese leaders—because truth transcends language. And when they discover that ancient Chinese strategy can transform modern challenges, they are blown away.

August 2025 is just the beginning. I foresee a wave of interest in Heart-based Strategy, where leadership is not about crushing others, but creating harmony, lasting influence, and invisible strength.  There is a SuperME Unleashed course on 6 August 2025, details at https://asiatrainers.org/smu1d

If you’re tired of reactive firefighting and want to operate like a strategist who sees five moves ahead—come train with me.

As Sun Zi said:
“To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.”

That’s what I teach. And that’s the new era of leadership the world needs.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
