Hey! I'm a Shaui Chiao guy, but I like SPM alot. Good solid fighting system. I went to register, but they wanted to verify personal info I wasn't comfortable giving out. Especially after the identity theft ring that got busted recently. Is there a way to bypass the personal info part? Thanks

[BearBear]

Hi WD.

What information did it want?
an email address? thats pretty standard. dont want ur isp email .. make up a hotmail, or yahoo account..

name , address phone number?
what every one does .. john smith, this town, nowhere, 88888888 .. hehe

Anyways ... Lemme know, i'll try to see what i can do in the "settings"

I just set it to don't need to register to post ... so should be fine ... to post..

if u want to post without registering

put your username and where it says password put ANYTHING .. then click post.. it will work i just tested it...

i just checked the registration page (choose global user - then u can use ANY ezboard forums)the onli "Real" thing u need is email becasue a verification password will be sent.. like i said set up a hotmail account - takes 3 or 4 minuites - always handy if u wanna sign up for other stuff and not use ur real email so no spam etc...

Take care

WD-

I had no problem posting without registering, so you might want to give it a go. Looks like the board has a lot of promise to be interesting venue for discussion.

[BearBear]

Thanks avneger.

BB - it's all coming along nicely.

Is everyone posting under the same alias as here?
Who is TongLongKuen?

[BearBear]

Hey TaoBoy


TLK is ma evil twin! keke

my tonglongkune account here is diable for some reason (thinks i am 13yo O_o).. so thats why BearBear ... and tonglongkune was taken on ezboards by somone else so kuEn ...


bearbear = tlk

some people post under the same name on both here and the mantis forums - convenient! some i think dont porlly due to their nick being taken already

i hope the mantis forums and this kfm forum are like used together,,, some threads in kfm starts good... end up with so many BS posts that hard to sort through to the good stuff... in such a case "take it over to the mantis forums to continue sensible discussions" etc etc

thanks for checking it out...

slow and steady.. building a strong foundation\.. then later hopefully it will be a great Resource for the tonglong community and other arts as well... at the very list a super links resource of different arts. so if u see an interestig martial art site.. copy the url to a notepad... then next time you on TLForums put in there

Thanks everyone....

Peace

I registered taoboy on Wushi Chik's EZ forum as a local user and now I can't log into the SPM forum with it (although I can post). I've also created another global username (Adam Stanecki) which I will start to use if it willlet me log in without IE crapping itself.

Aaah the joys! :)

[BearBear]

Lo taoboy...



Can I change my Local account into a Global account? It is not possible to change a Local account into a Global account

Bummer....

thanks look forward to learning heaps

BB Hakka Tong Long mostly has one long set that some have busted into smaller parts & this wasn't done in the past & not the way I was taught & learned. One set left whole & student learns as he shows skill in what he taught & set parts not so much different techniques as different gings making the move. Everything about the hand is in it so no need for different sets for yin yang qigong & it's there in one set. Foundation in first parts taught & then higher skill stuff as it goes on & goes from yang to yin & some never go beyond yang parts & can fight really good. More like life time study in whole set than stuff needed to fight good & to fight great other parts needed & takes no more than 2 years to be able to use to fight good if teaching is right & student works hard. Mastery is life time thing & it ends with the last breath for this life & picked back up in the next I am told & I'm still alive so can't say for fact.

DT ..

Thanks very informative

BB looked at your forum & looks like politics by couple of people & there is nothing held by one hand on 108 not known to others. No 108 from hand to hand will look the same & it is a poem that comes from Hakka Tong Long before time it became called many different things by man's name or place. All 108 is right & no one can say honestly otherwise since it is the hand's way of knowing & doing this thing & so it has to be right for that hand. I think this is fact from what I've seen over years & not opinion. The talk about what hand is where on your forum is wrong & it is politics & people posting such stuff don't know & just saying stuff for position. Politics & art are oil & water & this is just opinion & not fact.

[BearBear]

BearBear Blinks ...


looks like politics by couple

where where? .. i go look ....


The talk about what hand is where on your forum is wrong & it is politics & people posting such stuff don't know & just saying stuff for position.

i thought u were talking about the discussion on a long form / 108 form ... but your quote above makes me unsure..

what do u mean by "what hand is where" sorry i dun understand ...

as for the 108 / 1 hakka form thread i cannot see poitical thing? ... lau168's post? maybe i am dead tired.. not much sleep last few days .. but i just see him comparing and discussing the possibility of 1 long form from which many systems developed off.. i don't see them say one form / hand is better that the other... i dunno .. i reread it later...


if u can pinpoint where and what you feel is political, which thread, which postamd lemme know here or on tong long forums .. i'll check ..

Thanks for you help

BearBear

I don't cause problems for your forum BB & avoid all politics as it always turns out bad. There is no the 108 unless you talk about the 108 for certain Pai & then it is theirs alone. The 108 number is created from a poem & maybe more than a poem at that. I'm saying there is no the most original 108 or head of fountain that all other Hakka Tong Longs came from & never was. Even the very first & it is not known when & where & who would change the very first time it was taught unless the first person taught was copy of teacher & that is not possible yet. Many things come into being at the same time & in different places & by different people. Hakka were & are wandering people a lot of times so many differences with some stuff the same is expected. That is all I'm saying & no argument from me if someone wants to say different. I say be happy there are differences & don't point to differences as bad or good just accept, okay?

[BearBear]

Thanks diamond talons great post :)

i have pu it on the tl forums. just lemme know if u want it removed.
