That was a general TCMA saying and was used by many TCMA teachers in different styles. This attitude is similiar to, "If you think you are good, try me and show me what you got". This spirit had kept TCMA to be combat realistic in the past. Today, we have a different attitude such as, "I'll sue you if you dare to touch me."

Then it may not have been a WC person specifically. Thanks.

One day my teacher's teacher was not in school, someone visted there and asked some CMA questions, my teacher used that opportunity to "show-off" his CMA knowledge in front of strangers (he was only 17 years old). Suddently his teacher came back, slapped on his face, and said, "Gong-Fu is for training and not for talking".
