YMAA stands for Yang's Martial Arts Association.

The "Y" is Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming. YMAA was established in Boston, MA in 1982. With the intent of preserving traditional Chinese Kung Fu and Qigong , Dr. Yang began teaching Shaolin Long Fist and White Crane Gongfu and Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan. Currently, YMAA is an international organization including 56 schools.

*snip that other stuff*

*EDIT*

That questionaire reads like a dumb ass cult of personality quiz.

Epic fail. *rolleyes*

A. Im a cat-person.

B. I discussed this post with Gene and its not spam.

C'mon, 27 years at anything is an accomplishment.

You should just admit that you don't know the answers to these basic kung fu questions.

[YMAA_com]

technically, chuan = fist

but, yes.

[lkfmdc]

You've been a member for over a year and have a total of 10 posts, three of them in this thread

You're pushing a web site, one that sells stuff

Your questions are LAME......

Oh, Gene will let it go, this place is wildly unmoderated.... but it's still spam

And actually, you are WRONG

[YMAA_com]

Nice. Real friendly.


www.NYSanDa.com
www.SanDa-MMA.com

[lkfmdc]

Since you NEVER post here and apparently never spend any time here, I guess you don't know that pretty much the entire community here agreed a long time ago NOT to engage in threads of this nature

We consider them SPAM, and we don't like them. Like I said, Gene might let it slide, but the community has spoken MANY times on this

You might not find that fact I am pointing this out "friendly" but we the community find you ONLY coming here to do this sort of thread equally "unfriendly"

So, in conclusion, do you have anything to add to this community? Or just this LAME "what does kung fu mean" trivial nonsense

[David Jamieson]

Nice. Real friendly.

dude, that thing is rude.

why are you trying to elevate this guy? he's just another guy.

Can you imagine!

If you were to spam these threads with your san da school stuff.

hardwork would poop himself with pure vitriol! lol

[lkfmdc]

Here's why he's wrong

拳

originally refered to "拳 法"

only later to be converted for a variety of reasons to "拳術"

if you actually knew Chinese, you'd know how easily multiple characters are shortened to single characters but retaining the original meaning implied

[KC Elbows]

LKFMDC, I'm still waiting for you to finish your five part "answer these questions about kung fu" series of threads. I've done nothing in waiting for these questions, including not buying a life insurance policy, but that should be no big deal, as today is my last day on the force before retirement; me and my partner, Steven Seagal, are heading out now. Can't eait to get home and retire with my wife and those orphans we adopted.

I'll check back tomorrow!

We don't post here much, because we moderate our own martial arts forum. We have had a friendly relationship with Tiger Claw for many years, online, in print, and in person. We do business with Kung Fu mag and vice versa, and Dr Yang and other YMAA authors are regular contributors to the magazine and online articles.

We are celebrating a 27-Year anniversary for a very cool traditional kung fu school, and giving away free stuff.

The questions are YMAA-specific, and get more difficult as you proceed.

The few posts I have made have been in the spirit of Wu De, martial morality; one of which is self-respect and respect for others.

if you are so very offended, please move on to another topic quietly.

And I'll add, maybe it was a mistake to post here. My bad. Bye.

[lkfmdc]

We don't post here much



"we"? have you been assimilated? Are you multiple personalities?

That aside, just proved my point. You only come on here to ADVERTISE





because we moderate our own martial arts forum.



so, again, proving my point, you have your own forum, only come here to SPAM US




if you are so very offended, please move on to another topic quietly.

if you are so easily offended GO BACK TO YOUR OWN FORUM

Greetings,

YMAA_com made it clear that Gene gave him clearance. If that is true, any beef should be taken up with Gene.

An incredible display. You have won.

The questions are YMAA-specific, and get more difficult as you proceed.



17. What is Dr Yang's favorite Taiwanese soap opera?

22. What is Dr Yang's favorite noodle soup?

We are waiting for the answers with great anticipation :rolleyes:




And I'll add, maybe it was a mistake to post here. My bad. Bye.



He's leaving now, we've upset him, he won't post anymore, I mean, since he's already posted his SPAM and left it 100% intact :rolleyes:

[David Jamieson]

In the crack.

I thought this was self evident.:D

[KC Elbows]

"we"? have you been assimilated? Are you multiple personalities?



So, we have LKFMDC, one man, ten thousand handles, versus his arch nemesis, ten thousand people, one handle.

This is really gonna skew all our online polls.

Sample questions:

-What does "Tai Chi Chuan" mean in English?

-What does "Shaolin" mean in English?



there are faults in the Q's, thus unanswerable.

1. tai chi quan is chinese

2. shao lin is chinese.

so what does tai chi chuan means in chinese? it means tai chi fist or boxing methods

so what does tai chi means in chinese? tai chi means yin and yang in chinese

dynamic or change/balance in yin and yang in chinese.

shao lin means young forrest in chinese.

so I do not know tai chi quan means in english?

are tai chi and shao lin english?

so what does ye lai xiang mean in chinese?

a good japanese song explained it all.

actually, it was a chinese song translated into japanese.

and every one knows ye lai xiang is chinese.

everyone knows tai chi is chinese

shao lin is chinese.

tai chi is not founded in england

shao lin is not in england.

If we endeavor to speak another language, we should accept the language on its terms and think of it in its terms instead of translating it into our terms.

For people who do not speak another language, it is fair to do the best we can in translating it, understanding that no translation is perfect.

Small forest is a pretty safe translation, the fact that forest is not written "tree-tree" only poses issues in the smallest sense.

Taiji is another thing. Direct translation does not give the cultural background in taoism to actually give the meaning.

Still, it's an online quiz, so I can be understanding of it's limits. Plus, if I let it chap my hide, I've got crack cream.:D

[Dragonzbane76]

is yang jwing mings hemmoroids external or internal?
