anyone elsa on here from central ky
Just watched the whole ket series that Sin and Hiang put out around '81, and I'd like to make some comments.
First, I was really impressed with Sin and Hiang's breaking skills. The hanging brick break by Sin was explosive! Hiang's breaking was very powerful also. Then there was Bill leonard, who isn't the best forms performer, but very powerful and strong. Then there's Eric Smith. He really impressed me. His sword and spear forms were very nicely done. He just has this quality that's hard to describe. Very impressive.
All and all the show was good. It showed alot of self defense techniques with some good chin na.
It really brought back the memories of the ways things used to be at the beginning for me, before all the 900 forms, it seemed like the emphasis was on sparring, conditioning and application. Now it's just seems like it's new form after new form.
And here's a question for the older guys: How many forms did Bill and Eric test on to get to 4th degree black? Because back then to go from 1st to 2nd you only needed 5 forms. Now it's 10 forms between each degree.
south central part of the state, what styles do you do?
I love that series!!
Watching the brothers pit there best students ( EML & EMS) up against each other in the breaking demos .
Like you said , the suspension break is awesome !
I like the segment where Master Hiang teaches the nunchucku. I like the different versions of the Chin Na ( Self Defense ) and the Sparring techniques.
I no longer have a copy of the series, but I remember it well
I like K.I.S.S. keep it short & simple.***
****I do not llike to be refered to as stupid ,nor do I refer to anyone as being stupid , unless they are stupid.
"if it walks like a duck,quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, it must be a duck."
I have this idea that stupid was added to the acronym because people forgot what the other "S" stood for................. now you do not have to be stupid any more.***
Sorry I haven't filled out the info. page yet. For several years I was a student of Tracy Kenpo. Presently I'm working with a small group of American Kenpo students. Not certain about what the future holds. Thinking about taking American Kenpo classes on a regular basis. Also considering a style? more condensed.
There's a fair number of Shaolin-Do schools here in Kentucky. In fact I trained a little with Shaolin-do students over the years. Honestly I have always had some questions about what claims have been made about the style. Like the 900 forms claim in the offical site.
Glad to see another Kentucky resident here. Are there any ithers that you know of on this site?
yes there are alot of people in ky on here
On the west coast (they used to) break it up in to different stages like block ,grap, jump punch and chop.
I remember from the KET videos that it was just a jumping chop.
Anyone have any info on this??
everyone sees something in a tech. from their own point of view?
