i have had two minor altercations
since i started to ponder how to make my kung fu kung fu and not kickboxing
the two scraps i didnt intend and they were based
on some1 i knew but didnt expect.
on the kf forum theres a post talking about freezing in combat "just the whole wtf is going on"
the second time the person was basicaly drunk and i found myself consciously talking to myself
;jiminy crickets all dont hit him-try to submit and calm him down"
now related to khong and fridays post
it wouldnt be to healthy to engage in streetfights---but to get past certain barriers'such as freezing,one would need somesort of psychological training---any ideas on that from modern day science of warfare perspective.
also any of you guys who can trace thier lineage back in the tibetan related arts,do you have any tips on these thoughts from the ancients.
Re: training against 'freezing'
hi diego,
if you would like I will ask my sifus in Pak Hok Pai this question and see what they think.
I can't guarantee this is 'traditional methods'though. :)

FRIDAY THAT WOULD BE GREAT
khong you need to respectfully pick at your teacher for whats the deal with hop ga and ng-ming.
Friday i have a strange art that in some way claims ng-yim-ming
basically it is kajukenbo/hopgar with mantis and what i hear some internal style concepts but im not to clear yet...
do you have or could you ask your seniors if they have any storys or detials on fellows who have mixed thier tibetan art with another..
im in a funny predicament, i have home video of the 13 sets and i know 6 of them with a good idea of the rest...when i was taught it was all aplication but i got the gist of the system because thier is no basics in this method its all to the point killing technique..
i contacted the senior who inherited the art from his friend and teacher,but the teacher was killed
and i was shown more then i should have been in respects to time spent in chronological skill development.....so im not a authority but i have a good idea........I THINK
i definatly understand the combat mind and the differance between a rush of fear adrenaline and anger adrenaline,wich helps greatly in the inhale/exhale of your methods...
just a little question and bio.
ego you have A and thats A odea what your are thinking but you have this tone of cynicism however unconscious,it seems your point is to get fellow posters riled up and not simply to use the greek philosophy method of arguement to build further discourse uno break through certain personall barriers to bring out the light
imo not very humble you seem bored on this board.
ENJOY YOUR WAFFLES.
Hop-Gar with other styles
diego,
A British Si-Fu, Steve Richards has published a book on a combined Hop-Gar Mantis System:
Hop-Gar Mantis Kung Fu
Published by Paul H Crompton
London UK
Publishers e-mail CROMPTONPH@aol.com (for details).
It is Jook-Lum SPM with a branch of Hop-Gar deriving from Chan-Fat-Fu who is well known in HK for his Choy-Lay-Fut. Chan was a personal friend of Harry Ng-Yim-Ming and is a friend also of GM Ku-Chi-Wai.
Chan's forms are different to those found in most other branches they include: Sei-Lo-Fun-Dar (Four Way Separate Attack), Tau-Dar (Stealing the Attack) and Wai-Tor Luk-Lo (The Six Ways of Abbot Wai-Tor).
Chan keeps his 'Lion's Roar' as he calls it to himself these days but in the early 1970's a student of his Lau-Char-Chu who was the Self-Defence instructor to the High Security Stanley Prison Staff in HK taught it openly.
GM Ku has seen Steve Richards on video and commented that he can see some Choy-Lay-Fut influences in it. maybe that's to be expected.
Steve is writing another book, published by New Breed in the UK called 'Tibetan Kung-Fu: the Lion's Roar'. It's due out next year sometime I think.
