We're having problems with the server. Hope to be up again in a few hours... :eek:

Chut Suk? I don't know, maybe Sifu Chong knows him. I'd suggest to write him once the homepage is up again.

Lee Yung Gien = Chut Suk? Didn't know that one. But I also just started with Sifu Chong, so it's not surprising I didn't know. Anyways, hope you like the homepage. :)

FT, I'm not training yet under him Bak Mei.

As far as I know Sifu Chong doesn't mix up the training of the two styles. Just attend one of his Wing Chun classes, they're terrific. But if you know two styles, shouldn't you be able to apply both of them depending on the situation/positioning (or however you want to call it) you're confronting? You shouldn't "freeze" because you can't decide what to use, but rather flow freely. Probably this is what you have seen. His instruction is a lot about understanding combat in all its dimensions.

I understand and think a lot the same way in regards of keeping separate the different styles (honoring therefore their legacy), and that's what I get in my class. I studied long before WT and I know that at the moment I'm getting pure Wing Chun. Once I'll start in Bak Mei, I would be interested in getting exactly that in my class, but when it comes to practical application in the streets... At least I wouldn't mind to apply both.

If you don't like the way he sees it or the way I see it (which maybe isn't the same), you don't have to train with him. We're all free to do what we like, as long as we respect each other. I've been around in some MAs in the last 15 years and I know that I'll stay with his teachings, because they appeal to me and to a lot of my classmates.

I don't represent his personal point of view, for that you'd have to talk with him. Just give him a call, he uses to be quite friendly to anyone who approaches him. :)

Regards! :)

:) Hi again FT!

No, I haven't yet. Not because I don't want to - I'm actually quite interested in doing it. It allows you to compare, know where you stand, value what you do and understand it better. :) Nothing worse than ignorance.

I'm still quite busy with my Wing Chun, and that will take me still a while...

Btw, the link to your own homepage doesn't work... You said you were at the weekend in Sifu's class. Must have been on Saturday. Just out of curiosity, how's that possible if that class is not open to everyone?

Anyways, I'll be still around here some time, just in case of more questions. :)

01-28-2002, 09:22 PM
i seen him on video doing forms, and it was mixed with wing chun, even the salute is mixed! but as it says on his site he isnt related to clc bak mei?? what i seen of eddie'sifu doing bak mei was very soft and circular.

am i right here?

thanks mate

01-28-2002, 09:36 PM
I guess that's the reason. Just compare Pan Nam , Chi Sim and Yip Man Wing Chun. They're quite different, but the difference doesn't make less authentic any of these. Sifu Chong knows that there are other lineages around (see our homepage), he just represents the teachings he learned from his Bak Mei Sifu, Lee Yung Gien, and respects the other lineages.

If you ever happen to be in California, pay him a visit. I'm sure he'd be happy to talk with a fellow martial artist and share experiences. :)

Hey FT,

This always has confused me. History, unlike Kung Fu, is an oral /written concept.

The Legends:

Cheung Lai Cheun named a style without a name to bring it to secular practitioners from Monastic sources. So, anything that pre-dates Grandmaster CLC, even if the "same" style, would not be known as what he named it, but as it was called in the Monastaries, where it wasn't named, or was it?.

CLC named it for the legendary character that "originated" the style as he was told, allegedly a Daoist, but CLC as an old man wore Buddhist robes. (no biggie, it's commonplace to go between the two, but....)

CLC put much of himself as well into the style, it is a mix of what he was taught in the Monastary and what he learned as a proven fighter in his day.

Yet, some of his patterns are part of Fatshan Pak Mei taught by Sifu Chong, i.e. Sub Jie.

From a bigger picture, the basic fundamental techniques come from Southern short arm systems, which are possibly carried by Hakka peoples in their migrations around China, but the Pak Mei CLC brought out of the monastary is not the fundamentals, but the layers above. Did the monks have Hakka influence or did CLC teach a lot of Hakka in private, as I have been told, or both?

LIkewise, Fatshan Pak Mei claims links to Shaolin, the ancient (legendary) rivals of Pak Mei.

It would be nice to get some information that actually made logical sense of all this evidence and contradiction.

My Sifu knows about Fatshan Pak Mei, but not about it's history. It isn't a fabrication, I trust, but is it "Pak Mei" or another art with the same name and slightly different fundamentals?

Thank you for this post Sui-Few. You give credence to many theories I have heard from Hakka Chinese - Vietnamese Pei Mei practiioners.

I posted a threaf a while back concerning 2 fundamental different types of Pei Mei/Pak Mei. My theory was that HK Pak Mei is but one strand of Pak Mei, and that CLC and Co while in mainland China seemed to do things differently. History has made the HK Pak Mei the one that is most known , practiced and spread around the world, and hence a reference.

While I do not degrade it, (I am but one and they are many :-] ), I wish to explore the other flavours, as I believe at present that Pei Mei in Vietnam has NO connection to HK Pak Mei (except for some practioners in HK who latter went to Vietnam, but many years after it was originally introduced).

It may even be possible that Tang Hué Bac, the person who brought Pei Mei to Vietnam, alhtough he learnt from CLC, there may have been a whole bunch of people in those times (pre-HK) that practiced something different.

(Of course Tang Hué Bac of course added some things himself, etc. and I am aware that each generation imprints its own feel...).

Anyways, thanks Sui-Few. You clearly have some knowledge to share with me !

[Q] SF -> why have you taken your post out?
[ANS] SF-> hi shoa,not to start any wars
-> Also, because no one wants to hear logic, they only want fantasial stories. Of course there are holes one does not have to tell all!

SF : now from what i learn is that pak mei cannot be learnt from any language apart from manderin and hakka

-> What about all those Individuals trying to learn Cantonese just to understand their arts better. Are you saying it is in vain?

SF : and you put it in cantonese.

-> Nope, I put in Englocantonese which is most common. In fact it is much easier for me to put it in Mandarin but no one would understand.
Like Shi zi quan, Chi Dian Mei Hua, Ba Gua, Shi Ba Mo Qiao, Hu Bu, Hua Bao, Jiu Bu Tui, Fei Fung Shuang Dao, Fei Fung Dan Dao, Da Che Gun, ...etc.
I could put it in Hakka, Hokkien, Teo Chew, Toisan, ChongSan...as well.....who cares though this isn't language class.


Vietnam, Hong Kong, Kowloon, GuangZhou, ShanTou, Hoi Fong, Malaysia, UK, USA ..etc.... all may differ. But if one style cannot keep it together then all will be lost in the world.

Oh Well,
it is irrelevant just practise and be happy.

Sorry I missed SM's post.

I know some of you don't agree, I would expect no less.

I appreciate what he has to say, because he has viewpoint that he can verbalise. This isn't a test, its a puzzle and nobody has enough pieces to make anything but a picture of themselves.

So the question is, do you want to look in a mirror, or out a window?

Please Rolling_Hand tell me you can do better?
After waiting so long and answering everyone else that was the best you can do for me? Im offended, after a whole post of questions which you obviously cant answer, you decide to answer me with a riddle:( I was really expecting an honest strait forward infromative responce, i thought that with all your high level wing chun you could solve a simple problem with it...
Lets try again...
how good are your gates from the back?
How do you find my center when im in constant motion?

I seek out my flaws and attempt to correct them, how about yourself?
Surely with your advanced knowledge of your system these problems could be easily overcome?

"It feels like you're being force to deal with wing chun. "
*Its not me its them, not 'all' many WC guys think they have some kind of secret kung fu no one knows. They get very surprised when they realise there precious structure is prone to collapsing. Still as i say there are exceptions, i just dont get the pleasure personaly of meeting the good ones.

"You've spent too much time erring on the side of caution. Maybe that's the problem!?!? - RH "
* Problem is simple, WC fighters often have large ego's, you are no exception. The only 'erring on the side of caution' is in my blatent dislike for the Sydney WC scence.

in other words, as your emeny comes, receives; if he leases, escort. - RH
* Pure genious, also nearly exactly what Tai Chi or any other internal style do. In practical situtions ive never seen a WC guy do that in my life, they just do the same thing EVERY time.
Twist and deflect, chain punch to dominate the centre....
Scary:eek:

Im sure there is some good wing chun around but im never impressed with the quality of the people i meet. I hope no one who is a dedicated wc guy and who does make a good effort to get along takes this to seriously.

They look good to me! Do you have a problem with yours? You have a talent for creating a position where only Ninjas like hiding behind them. And who's to say you can't pull a rabbit out of a hat? hahaha... so, the answer is there for you, but don't resist the responsibility that comes with it. " gates from the back " and " thinking outside of the box "... they do go hand in hand. hum.... - RH

--how do you find my center when im in constant motion?

Doubts may outweigh conviction, but what's new? Are you ready for the answer???
Here you go...
" find " is the wrong word, in Wing Chun kungfu, " feel " is the right word. This is just my 1/2 cent, please don't put so much pressure on yourself. - RH

* I dont have a box to think outside:D Where would i be if i confined my mind to such a strange object? Maybe you view such thinking as 'outside the box', for me its just thinking, why label it?

"Here you go...
" find " is the wrong word, in Wing Chun kungfu, " feel " is the right word. This is just my 1/2 cent, please don't put so much pressure on yourself. - RH "
* Nice spin [pun intended], how do 'feel' a centre when its not fixed in space? The problem with the centreline is its always changing. The 'line' is a misconception, study physics you will see you have a c.o.g [centre of gravity] and that is a very finite point. This point will range in place according to the motion and force which is applied to the object. The line is nice but its only false security:D
The box, remember the box;)

"A few words for you... The fact that you don't get everything you aim for is good. It keeps you hungry. You wouldn't try so hard on a full stomach. - RH"
* Thank you for your insight, you see much. I am hungry but i fear my food is not what you might like to think. Even with a full belly would i be satisfied with just one flavor? Perhaps the best dish is the one you create yourself from the flavors you have tasted and enjoy? Milk Flour and Eggs are all great by themselfs but ohh the things that can be done when there mixed:D


Now of course my words for you:)
Keep hammering away you will eventualy find the curve in the strait and circle in the square.
You wont be the first and not the last but you will still understand.
Remember you play your fists there not played for you;) You may like to think its automatic but in reality is it really? Maybe automation is only maladjusted intent?

Showing someone the door isn't so easy. After meeting Wing Chun Grandmaster Yip Man, the Bak Mei master Leung Sheung no longer take kungfu loyalty for granted. Between Wing Chun and Bak Mei - If prospects are bad, abandon ship. If things look good, stay on board. Leung Sheung abandoned Bak Mei and bowed to Wing Chun. Thanks to Yip Man, someone saw the light at the end of tunnel.

Relax and take heed in your skills, after all they cant be taken away, your only goal is self improvement so why scuttle your own WC boat?
Yip Man was good but was he really as skilled as he could be? Do you think he taught people the way he was trained? Why such large differences in non Yip Man Wing Chun?
Why did only four students recieve the full detail of his teaching [so they believe]?
Why do you think Yip Man saw fit to publicise what had previously been kept behind locked doors? Do you think he made concessions to allow for this to happen? Why the rivalry with Choy Lee Fut?
After all of this... How can you know your Wing Chun is as good as you have been led to believe?

Dont worry Trolling_Hand no one is going to force you to learn anything new or different. We all know how confusing and damaging that can be for a fragile mind.

Wing Chun may hold the key but do you even know where the door your trying to unlock might lead?

Look at me i can sound like a fortune cookie to, your smarter than i gave you creadit for Rolling_Hand:)

Well, if you consider me a joke like Kwai Chang then don' t respond to me, as you obviously did with him.

He was the first to comment on your sifu, and you said nothing.

I have the right to comment on anything I want, especially if you decided not too.

I take pleasure in making Kwai Chang look like an idiot. If you want to "turn the other cheek" that's great.

Otherwise, treat fairly and be true to your principles.

people usually have good reason for being defensive. Pointing fingers won't help. Nor can expect anyone to be held accountable. You have the unenviable task of challenging a judgment. Begin with why this person sees things the way he does. Be diligent and you'll eventually master the situation. This is also known as * Kung Fu - Kuen Yao Som Fot *

You may feel burned at first, but helpful advice is constructive. A few words for you... there's more to friendship than listening to problems here. Let yourself enjoy this brighter side.

Showing one's hand too early gives away the game. A reward is postponed, but be a good sport. Your upbeat manner inpires a superior ( guess who? ) to make it up to you. Bide your time. You'll recognize what's Wing Chun when it appears. - RH

Your comments as per usual only relate to what you directly can understand and structure into an argument.

"Although you're reluctant to admit it, a certain pain in your derriere is a plus. - RH "
* Never been relutctant about my opinion im proberly the most forward person i know. Still dont get to excited... 'Smarter than i gave you credit for', you dont know how smart i orginaly thought you were, do you? Besides what use is 'smart' when you depend totaly on your reflexs?

"Showing one's hand too early gives away the game."
* Only a brave fighter with total confidence in there technique can afford to be truely up front about what they do and who they are. I can understand you not wanting to take such risk.

"A reward is postponed, but be a good sport."
* The reward is not important, besides what reward?
The trip is all there is, when you get to your destination you will only find another place you want to see. Sit back and enjoy the ride, maybe in time you will stop to enjoy the scenery and the many differing landscapes. Give yourself up and you may yet find yourself again.

"Your upbeat manner inpires a superior ( guess who? ) to make it up to you."
* No disrespect but i dont regard you as a superiour, if you were posting under your real name and listed openly your sifu i would show you more respect. To me your just some bloke with a couple of years of wing chun and a hell of a lot of quotes from old texts. I can quote the classics too:D Does it mean i can apply them though? My superiors are my mentors and i look up to them, i have not recieved anything from you to elevate you to that level. Dont flatter yourself!
Still feel free to attempt to 'educate' me anytime you feel fit, just dont expect me to take it seriously, as you to me are just another faceless, nameless, WC mouth boxer.

"Bide your time. You'll recognize what's Wing Chun when it appears. - RH"
* Are you saying i havent seen Wing Chun? Pretty odd assumption, either way its not for me...
To structured and confined, footwork is weak, to based on reflex.
Instructors are always more involved in politics than actualy improving there art. Linage is more important than actualy being good. To much is kept back, to little is shown up front, application is cramped, power is offset by stance, to much relience on forwards moving techniques and strait lines.
This is all just my opinions though, if wc works for you then more power to you. For me it feels like trying to fight confined to a phone box.

Now i notice again [im perceptive i know] that you have missed MANY of the questions in my post. I cant help but get the feeling its becouse either you cant or dont want to answer them.
Considering your my superiour [appently] i would have thought you would be keen to rebut my 'mis' conceptions about your art?
Maybe you agree with me?

Come on Trolling_Hand you can do better i know it, dont 'find' a responce 'feel' one.

Where do you sit??? On WC mountain with the fool?

Well, if by your definition Iam a troll, then, you would not answer me again.

BUT you DID so who is the fool?

If you say it is none of my business what REALLY happened to your sifu or if there was even such a incident, FINE I didn't press you for the info, and it is not my business.

BUT don't say i don't have the right to comment on what was said publicly.

Yup, I can say whatever i wish, if that makes me look stupid then maybe you should move from Cali. and go join whats left of the Taliban. I heard they are still recruiting.

I don't need to worry about myself, because i don't say "I ignore trolls" and then answer me whom you consider as a troll.

Again, be true to your principles.

BYE, BYE Paul, its been a nice chat, since you have nothing more to say to me.

i am only up in newcastle & would be quite happy for you to come up for a day & let you see that there is some quality wing chun available either that or i could piont you to our sydney school so that you may find that what you have see already is not what is typical of good ving tsun.

So, where is your answer for the judgment you have arrived at that makes you think WC mountain is so bright?

Why don't you begin with how you could not give yourself an enema and the sludge has now backed up into your brain. That's why you have to use your FORTUNE COOKIE scripter to post.

* I appologise, i forgot in my haste that Rolling_Hand would not be the only one i was insulting. The comment was actualy bait which is why Rolling Hand wisely choose to dodge it [he's a slippery one that way]. There all common misconceptions of poor wing chun taught at low level. I know well that at higher levels and particualy in better schools the art opens up a lot.
I would be happy to see your stuff though if you do indeed train in the real deal, im pretty common to Newcastle i grew up there so its possible i might be able to pop in and see you guys. As i say i honestly just meant to get Rolling_Hand provoked into defending himself so i could pick on him further i did not mean to insult the whole WC population. Still ive got to admit i have not seen a lot of good WC down here and i have actualy seen a couple of schools. Then again they dont exactly show the good stuff to interested partys peeping though the door either do they:) Please dont take my comments to heart they were just bait for RH and where meant to be taken with a grain of salt.

You can talk yourself in and out of anything, so it's best to just focus on the facts at hand.
Why did this Bak Mei master Leung Sheung abandon Bak Mei for Wing Chun?
Why did this Futshan Bak Mei master stay in coma for ten days?
First, I must say I have nothing to against them, as a matter of fact, some of them are my distance families. I know them too well and I could break down the whole Bak Mei system like ABC. But that's not my interest. Life is just a moment to space, I'm standing on the top of Wing Chun mountain and enjoying fresh air at this moment.

"You can talk yourself in and out of anything, so it's best to just focus on the facts at hand.
Why did this Bak Mei master Leung Sheung abandon Bak Mei for Wing Chun?" - Maybe his Pak Mei sifu wasn't of the caliber of Yip Man. After all, Yip Man was the GM of WC, but who was his PM sifu? Or maybe PM was to deep for him to fully understand...In the link you gave me, it said he was known for his expertise in Dragon. Why not PM?

"Why did this Futshan Bak Mei master stay in coma for ten days?" - Maybe, he forgot to float like a butterfly and sting like bee.

"I know them too well and I could break down the whole Bak Mei system like ABC." - All of PM? CLC PM? Or just your line of PM?

"I'm standing on the top of Wing Chun mountain and enjoying fresh air at this moment." - enjoy it while you can....I hear a storm is half way up the mountain, can the foundation of your mountain handle it?

You could go round in circles asking silly questions.

The only person who knows why Leung Sheung gave up BakMei for Wing Chun is himself, even then he may not even know why.
As to the other guy well even the sun shines on a dogs ass once in a while.

Buby- what storm are you talking about. Without the mountain where would you be?

Rolling_Hand
02-01-2002, 10:01 PM
--it said he was known for his expertise in Dragon. Why not PM?

Before Wing Chun, Leung Sheung was known as a master of three style - Bak Mei, Lung Ying & Choi Li Fut.

--Maybe, he forgot to float like a butterfly and sting like bee.

Exactly! You can see how someone's oversight could cost.

--enjoy it while you can...

Thank you! I may not have a fortune or even a paper dollar to crinkle in my hand. But I do know my babe, Wing Chun - all shining in the Sun to light the way to evening.

--I hear a storm is half way up the mountain, can the mountain handle it?

There is a kind of hush all over the world tonight...
You can hear the sounds of wind and water!
Yerterday a child came out to wonder,
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder,
And tearful at the falling of a star...
And the seasons they go round and round,
So the years spin by
And the boy finally reached on the top of mountain.
Nobody else in sight,
Except this boy!!
Before the last devoling is through...
In Futshan People call him the King of Wing Chun.
Dr. Leung Jan
And the Wing Chun mountain.

"Before Wing Chun, Leung Sheung was known as a master of three style - Bak Mei, Lung Ying & Choi Li Fut. "

Obviously, he wasn't able to master any of these; bak mei, lung ying and choy li fut. Bak mei is very diff. than the others and vice versa. Bak mei takes a lifetime to understand, some people will never be able to get "true" bak mei jing.

So, he settle for something much more simple, WC!

Why, is Yip Man a "relatively unknown" in the chinese kungfu community? What outstanding "claim to fame" can he make?

If it wasn't for Bruce Lee, he would be just another teacher of kungfu.

An we all know what Bruce thought about WC! Do i need to quote from the movies or his books?

I guess you didn't know that Wong Shun Leung lost to Ah Choy(lung Ying)........Why did this WC teacher loose?

Oh,.... my dear Kwai Chang......how can you even think to be able to comprehend a vastly advance and complex style as bak mei, when you don't even practice kungfu!

WC mountain is but a optical illusion, The veil that has been pulled over your eyes to imprison you! and turn you into a slave!FREE yourself from THE MATRIX.

"You can talk yourself in and out of anything, so it's best to just focus on the facts at hand. "

"Why did this Bak Mei master Leung Sheung abandon Bak Mei for Wing Chun? "
* All of us gravitate to what fits us and what we naturaly have tendency to understand. Maybe Leung Sheung simply had a personal interest in Wing Chun and when he found a sifu jumped at the chance?

"Why did this Futshan Bak Mei master stay in coma for ten days? "
* Maybe becouse he was brutaly beaten by someone who really should have had a little more restraint?
Maybe becouse the health care system in china leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe he had a previous health condition and the fight aggrevated it. Maybe maybe maybe maybe, ohh speculation is such fun.

"First, I must say I have nothing to against them, as a matter of fact, some of them are my distance families."
* Odd comment, you advertise there personal injurys...

"I know them too well and I could break down the whole Bak Mei system like ABC. But that's not my interest. "

"Life is just a moment to space, I'm standing on the top of Wing Chun mountain and enjoying fresh air at this moment."
*Why build mountains in your mind when you could just enjoy what comes?
Enjoy the air while its fresh but if you stay to long in one place you may find it tastes sour. Keep your direction and dont lose your head. Still remember to stop every once in a while and acknowledge others forging there own paths, after all we all seek the same goal :D

Good, so ask yourself what can you learn from bak mei! Instead of undermining it. Like I said to other people here "STICK TO YOUR PRINCIPLES" or in your case your FORTUNE COOKIE script.

I don't need to undermine you or WC, the truth is self evident. All you have to do is ask the right questions.

"Do you want me to show you the Sil Nim Tao or Chut Dim Muy Fah?"

You don't need to show me "the LITTLE thought" or any other WC. I go to Graduate school, I passed elementary!

* Sydney is good for two reasons... Kung fu masters and good looking ethnic women.
Newcastle.... man, i miss the beach, the friendly people, the attitude, the way everybody knows somebody who happens to know you. The last time i went to two clubs and ran into three girls i used to know well. Most of all i miss walking down the mall and perving on all the beach girls.
The place rocks for so many reasons, yet it still has its problems, the lack of anything to do other than the beach proberly being the major one:)
Still i have some close friends there and make it a point to visit reguarly.

"anyways, let me know when you would like to call in & meet. "
* I will certainly do, im actualy going up this weekend for a friends birthday bash but i dont think ill have time to go visiting. Still i will certainly try and get round to seeing you guys at some stage, im happy to know there is good kf in Newcastle. Just make sure you actualy get some of those beach loving, barbaque eating, beer drinkers to train :p Darn i miss em :(

Sorry for the long winded post but its always nice to hear from another novacastrian.
Best of luck in your training and ill contact you when ive got some free time.
Respects and regards
Jon

P.S I respect anyone from Newcastle, the place is nice and sweet but can also be hard as nails. They blue like rockets up in Newcastle. I havent seen the quality of half of Newys street fighters in many Sydney ma schools. Thats what i keep going back, this place makes me soft;)

--I thanked you for your reply, but I never said you answered my question. Leung Jan was King of the mountain....Are you Leung Jan?

Leadership isn't a popularity contest... even for Rolling_Hand, LOL! but I don't expext others to understand.

Leung Jan was King of the mountain, I'm just the wind and water of the mountain. In other words, if you can't beat'em, then join'em. This small dose of forsight should soothe anxious spirits of Sui-fuw.

Jealousy isn't a feeling anyone wants to admit to. Instead of underming a rival, ask yourself what you can learn from this person. - RH's Fortune cookie script.

"--so ask yourself what can you learn from Bak Mei!

Well... IMHO... not much!"- RH's Fortune again.

My dear, Kwai Chang..........You are not only predictable.........You are contradictory.

Cannot stick to your principles can you?

"* Simple * is the key!
Wing Chun : Simple & Direct"- Kwai Chang

"At this moment, even I don't try to figure out the Wing Chun mountain - It's just too deep!!!! "- Kwai Chang

From Random House Dictionary-

Deep-
1.extending far down from top.
2. having a specified depth
3. difficult to penetrate or comprehend
4. profound or intense

Simple-
1. easy to solve learn or do
2. plain, unadorned
3. of humble origin
4. lacking in intelligence, half witted

Can you say OXYMORON

You seem to be troubled, is it you or the style you practice....? prob. a little of both.

Where's your center?
I guess you don't have it. You've taken on more than you can handle.

Heed, your own warnings Kwai Chang......time to remember Master Po's lesson.

You're trying to do too much at once and are scattering your energy. Pick one thing to focus on and see it through to the end. This will center you.

Try again!

You intuitive flashes are spot on. It's when you to explain yourself that you run into trouble.

Find your center first then we can talk!

You have trouble focusing on the complex task at hand..... Unfortunately, you are a product of your training (WC).

"Try again!
How do you pull an elephant out of the hat?"

NO, YOU try again....you are asking the wrong questions Kwai Chang.........

Don't try to resist the pull. Only by addressing the question on hand can you hope to move on.

"cool jon
and yes i know all to well how hard some of these newie boys are having served 7 of my 8 years as a bouncer at the JR(i am presuming you know of this lovely little nightspot)"
* HAHAHAH yes i certainly know the JR, i can tell your WC skills would have to be up to the task already;) Big drunk football players, god luv em:eek:
I used to do the security plus audio and lighting for my old work, it was a stand up comedy venue, so yeah i had to be HARD!!!(sarcasim meter off the chart)
I did still get to throw several people out and had many small 'incidents', funny part is im not exactly scary looking:) Still im a confident little basted when i want to be;)

I will certainly try and get some time to hook up with you, when i was a newie boy i was never aware we even had cma up there. I used to study Rhee Tae Kwon Do up there for four years, ill never admit that here again either:p

Ahh Newcastle girls, darn they fine:D :) :D

Catch you soon with some luck, feel free to contact me off forum and we can try and arange things.

* Not all all, Bolton Point.
Its just near Toronto on Lake Macquarie.

Keep well and ill catch up with you soon with some luck, im still stoked to hear Newcastle has some good kung fu. I have to admit though that not many advertise in Newcastle except for the big commercial gyms.
Good on you guys, its good to hear Newcastle may finaly get a shot of some culture hehe

Newcastle is working class... without the class... Come to think of it - bugger all working either :p
hehe J\K, i still have a big soft spot for the place. Do you know if there is any other cma up there yet?
Catch you soon

hmmmm, toronto
now there are some mad muthas out that way. don't know of a guy named tony cluff at all do you.
there is also another wing chun school believe it or not(jim fungs lineage) & we all get on quite well, the head instructor of our school & theirs are actually life long friend & started their wc together under the same sifu many years ago.(a guy named greg chio i believe)
other than that there is only the tai chi people to my knowledge.
i personally used to travel to gosford every sunday to learn jow gar under andy truong but once he stopped gonig to gosford his sydney classes became out of reach.
i also found & harrassed an old chinese guy for 2 years to teach me some lung ying, which he did.
what was shown was not an original form though but more all his personal favorite techniques linked into a single form.he apparently had a reputation for being a bit of a bad man amongst the chinese community.
this guy had amazing power for someone who had retired many years ago.he gave me a demo where he kicked this bin made from steel & i do mean made from real steel, all i could think was ouch & oh the insanity.
i was his first & only western student but unfortunetly he sold their business & is now back in sydney.
again good to talk
