Well...I will have to say if Mr. Blank has a secret version of his Tai Bo, which is different from what he teaches in public and in his video, then we Mantis Kung Fu folk might have a problem... Wait don't we all have hidden secret techniques which are very deadly as well? Now I am confused. What's the secret behind this hybird Cardio-Kickboxing and Cardio-Karate? :confused:

Think think think that's all I do... :rolleyes:

Oh, I give up! You win.

biily is bad, just watch his movies. just one hit to hte groin, and keow, you're down baby. that is is how he teaches on his "closed door" tapes.

I am a personal freind of billy blanks, he was born in erie PA and then moved to buffalo NY where he trained with me at the golden dragon society in hung gar kung fu ting fong wong lineage from canton, but after reciveing his black sash he moved to sherman oks CA to train celeberties on self defense, after realizing that hi impact areobics was the craze at the time he invented tae bo and made lots of 4 doing it. So aside from the fact that he is ranked as a black sash I am sure it would depend on the fighter not the stlye

I thought Billy Blanks studied tae kwon do or something?

of course not. my northern brothers take the same stance as we southern pm people -- the power of tae bo can't be denied. none of us can fight, we just like the club atmosphere & awesomely groovacious uniforms. besides, have u ever seen the babes in billy's videos? none of us would be fighting, 2 busy f)ucking bimbos with buns of steel, -- or is that another real fighters program?

first off Ginger you say someone who trains in your style "insert style here" for one day could beat a mantis player (for example)"insert style here" of ten or even 5+ years? If so your insane. If no then style is not important and the person's expirence is the main facton. End of story. Anyone else can do better in less words step up I'd like to here it.

Now he didn't say one day or 5 years but he says "this style would kill this one" so I used a time frame to make his thoery blow goat nutz.

by the way that's my cats name "ginger"

you must unlearn what you have learned then and only then will you be wise and have knolage

--first off Ginger you say someone who trains in your style "insert style here" for one day could beat a mantis player (for example)"insert style here" of ten or even 5+ years?

--Anyone else can do better in less words step up I'd like to here it.

wowser, totally confusing yet the story is over, guess we'll never learn the outcome :eek:

--Now he didn't say one day or 5 years but he says "this style would kill this one" so I used a time frame to make his thoery blow goat nutz.

and nicely done i might add, .. i mean the part about u blowing goat nuts :D do ur parents know about ur penchant for beastiality? ;)

[Ginger Fist]

no, no, and no. i do not like this joking. billy is bad. as a rule billys are, examples: billy jack; hill billies.

p.s. ilike your tatt. it is pretty.

--save up ur allowance and maybe ur mommy will let u get 1 of ur very own :)

i have never heard of the insert style.

--??? coming from some1 who's managed 2 insert their head up their as*s i find it difficult 2 believe u aren't a master of the insert style :D i know, u r just keeping secrets :p

[EARTH DRAGON]

He may have studied tae kwon do also I am not sure but it wouldnt surpise me, he did have nice kicks back in the day. I am only speaking of the time that I acually trained at the same school with him but he was much older than me at the time and I didnt stay at that school for long so he might have recived his blackbelt in another stlye as well.

karate kat it seems as you have a thing for him, so I hate to dissapoint you but we never sparred he was a lot older than me at the time, this was in the early 80's and I was only a teenager so we were in different class times and ranks.

[EARTH DRAGON]

I dont think his post was a troll post , maybe he has a legitament reason to ask such a question? I realize that billy blanks may not be the authority on fighting but karate kat simply asked a question and deserves an answer and others opinons. I once answered a question about bruce lee to a young wing chun guy who thought that bruce invented that style,and he was not trolling at all just confused. So I will try to do my best to help other people in their understanding of martial arts, however foolish they may seem.

[EARTH DRAGON]

I understand your point, I sometimes have to much patients and try to figure out the real reason or thinking of the thread maker. I once had some pretty heavy disscussions with a very negitive person on this board who was a b*st*rd to say the least, he ridaculed me and others to no end about how bad he was and how everyone else sucked. after contacting him through email he admitted to me that he was in a wheelchair due to a car accident and could never train again so thats why he came across so bitter, but after talking to him he was actually a nice guy just needed to be told that. I will give people the benifiet of the doubt you never know who the person is on the end of a keyboard! If his so called trolling continues then we should ignore him. But kids on hear think bruce lee was the greatest matial artists of all time they are actually sincere not just trolls.

ED- I see your point, some people are just new to the whole kung-fu MA thing and that i understand,
as i am new to the mantis system, so even i post question's that others might find trollish
maybe??
But the "can mantis beat Billy Blanks" thing
sound's like a troll post to me .......

So that's the way i took it, just my 2 cents one dine and a nickel.

but i am not new to praying mantis, nor am i in a wheelchair. a troll.... nah.

[sultanpro]

Nice Profile........... troll boy.

[EARTH DRAGON]

you could be correct, I just read his profile and it sounds as though his intentions are not seroius or valid. my bad call, I am a sucker for giving help to people. Since I have opened my own school and been teaching people I tend to offer help when not needed or to those who dont desrve it. I even get yelled at by voiceing my opinon where it is not asked. but for the most part it makes me feel good to help willing people. And on this board you get a little of each. hats off to you.
