Any boxer of almost any level of experience can name one counter, most English language kung fu manuals somehow fail to, and by extension, most English language discussion of kung fu fails to.
English language kung fu books on specific styles' empty hand fighting contain zero information, with the exceptions being a handful of books, I cannot cite more than two, which rise above this.
If people have a hobby of spending time on the forum arguing what they know is ******* ****, and they don't want to have that interrupted, then they can't complain when they interrupt those who wish to discuss something else every chance they can because they're so self involved in their argument with some other member that they don't see past it.
Some members seem to enjoy technique level discussion of kung fu, and if no one points out that this stuff actually kills that, then there isn't technique level discussion worth talking about. Before Ross left, there was some great stuff going on involving a good group of members, so apparently I'm not the only one who thinks this is more useful. I'm not saying all stupid flame wars must end, I'm saying that keep that **** contained or members force the site into bannings that they then whine about, because it is a kung fu site, and if aspects of kung fu discussion are not allowed, this forces bannings.
