The tiger claw thread reminded me of something that I've always thought but I felt needed it's own thread.

Helen is amazing.

I have never seen anyone (anyone) perform forms with the grace and epitome of her intent (fluid movement) than HL.

She is imho, probably the best american artist in modern cma. Wushu athletes look like clumsy clowns compared to her.

Yes, and in her water boxing video, if you look close you can see her white silk uniform is slightly see through. :eek:

You kids should learn to show some respect. We all joke around here, but there are some lines that you don't cross.

Are there any clips of her online? I've often heard her mentioned, but I've never seen her stuff. And I can't buy the videos, as the shipping is sheer burglary.

Helen is married. now, and she is Canadian, not American. She has practiced Water Style for many years now and helps her father teach it as well.

Then perhaps I should poison your water supply, burn down your village, and feed your children to dingos?

Check her vids on MAM. Good stuff, from the looks.

See, that's fine. That's not sexually inappropriate to a married CMA teacher that should really be shown more respect.

And will you fvcking Yanks get over the dingo thing already!?

I reiterate:

have you seen the movie "Quiggy down Under"? There's a sceen tward the end that pretty much sums up what most of "us yanks" know about dingos. (They were trying to eat a woman and child)

P.S. Vash ain't a Yank. That quip about being a southern baptist he has as a location indicates he's from the Deep South and is there for a Reb. ;) I is not a yank, either, as Colorado wasn't involved in that scuffle. I am a Scotts-Irish carpetbagger.:D

Yep, she's a Canuck. Sorry America :p

Her and her dad do a tv show up here everyday @6:00pm EST called: Tai Chi with GM Liang.

He runs through the bejing 24 routine and they show some other stuff.

The family is a good propogater of good kungfu practice in my opinion. Helen is very polite and holds herself well in her presentation.

For those who don't know, those in south do not like to be called "Reb" or " Jonny Rebel". And the kill ratio using inferior weapons was to 2 to 1 against the Yankees :eek:
It is unreal how those men from both sides would march shoulder to shoulder and fill in the holes as the men fell. All of this through a hail storm of bullets, cannister fire, cannon ball , to engage in hand to hand combat with their bayonets.

I've seen that show on my channel guide but I don't get the channel. For a long time I thought it was called "Tai Chi with Grandma" because the title trailed off the end of the listing. I'm going to have to get that channel now... ;)

They sure do in the Nashville, TN area.

I **** on the "rebel" flag. Here, it used almost exclusively by racists.

Back OT . . .

Serpie, check out her videos in MAMs store (http://www.martialartsmart.net/tclh001.html) . If I am not completely blind from masturbation, then there is a small link (http://lib1.store.vip.sc5.yahoo.com/lib/martialartsmart/TC-LH001.asf) showing an excerpt of her Water Boxing video.

The Tai Chi show also shows a little bagua, hsing yi and push hands a little bit. There are now two seasons that we filmed in Vancouver.

She is cute, not so much hot. All the interviews of her Ive read she really does come off as a well educated and prolific individual.

Nothing at all. Helen isn't trying to fool anyone into thinking she's a fighter. She is an artist. An incredibly good one imho.

You'll all be pleased to learn that we're working on Water Boxing Part Two. In fact, I just spoke to Helen last week to tie up a bit of research on it.

Speaking of research on Helen, you should check out her cover story (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=353) in our archives... Her tale is extraordinary.

That article on Helen Liang's story was inspirational. She has had some trials in her life and it shows that there is always hope.

And she is hot....

goshdarnit.

I wonder if Helen actually reads the forum. Cause I'd personally be pretty freaked out if someone used my photo as an avatar. Then again, maybe she's used to it. :D

Full Frame Close Up: Love and Wushu (https://america.cgtn.com/2017/11/14/full-frame-close-up-love-and-wushu)

Two decades ago, Helen Liang lay in her hospital bed in despair after being told that she had only two weeks to live. As a master in Chinese Wushu (“Wushu” translates to “martial arts” in English), she was trained to overcome obstacles, but this was by the far the most challenging and heartbreaking moment of her life.


https://youtu.be/5EB9jPN6nw0

She was determined to fight the death sentence handed to her by the oncologist. With the unwavering love of her parents, traditional Chinese medicine and a daily regimen of tai chi and qigong, she defied the odds.

Some people may call her recovery a miracle, but to the people in Helen’s life, it was a far more meaningful and personal journey.

Helen was at Grandmaster John S.S. Leong's 80th Birthday Celebration (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?70561-Grandmaster-John-S-S-Leong-80th-Birthday-Celebration) last weekend but I didn't go because of a personal schedule conflict.

She was also at KFTC25 AF (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?69762-KUNG-FU-TAI-CHI-25TH-ANNIVERSARY-FESTIVAL-May-19-21-2017-San-Jose-CA), but I was so busy, I never got around to chatting with her. That was a major miss on my part. :o
