greetings,
There has been a great deal of discussion lately about the clips posted on this forum. Our friends in shanghai have offered some very helpful , and at times harsh, criticisms regarding those same clips. AS a result there has been a little sarcasm exchanged as well as caustic requests for clips from shanghai. I would like to make a solution available. My teacher in the United states would like to arrange the News media In Tainan, Taiwan to cover a friendly , challenge exchange between Master Kai Uwe Pel of Shanghai and himself. Master John Scolaro , who is often out of the USA , and therefore rarely posts, has made it clear to me that because he is making the request, he will travel to taiwan again next month (this way both teacher can compromise in the distance they travel for this event) and would like to arrange for Master Kai to make the short trip down to Taiwan at that time for a friendly exchange. In Taiwan, there is no issue of liability, and a friendly challenge is welcome. In addition, Students may come and pair up with other students from taiwan ,as hopefully will be the case with Mr. Kai Uwe Pel and Mr. Scolaro. Because this is a good opportunity to learn , Mr. Scolaro is very serious about the meeting as well as having it recorded. This challenge should not be devisive, but a good chance to see two master use mantis gongfu in a fighting situation. In addition, There will be no rules except for the exlusion of weapons. NO weapons will be allowed, but other facets of mantis will be allowed, including chokes, groin hits, etc. Please Thoughtfully consider this offer; we would be very happy to have this take place as it would be a good opportunity for everyone who posts here. The fight could be posted on this forum if all are willing.
