Never could understand why such bitterness when I left, did it the right way, with respect! Why does MC tell gong-fu brothers to not associate with those who leave? It seems only acceptable when it is in the circle of the WL world. I gave 11 years training, spending loads of money, sweat and time. Got tired of just learning another form, and being told to just figure it out.

Wanted very much to talk some sh*t, but you seemed a little nervous being around us. Anyway, I`m in your area quite a bit, I will come in stealth :) Being gong-fu brothers is important, why can`t we practice this fellowship thing?
Thanks Frogman! Not alot of folks (WL) like me here. My forwardness is due to many reasons. First is confidence! Been doing MA along time, and finally I can hold my head high! A great feeling to know the stuff I always thought I should be learning is finally being taught to me. Plus it opens my eyes to my WL material. I am not arrogant, my Shrfu beats the crap out of me! After standing toe to toe with Shrfu Scolaro, no fear exists.
On a personal note I can not hold anything against anyone who left WL. We each make our own decisions based on what is best for ourselves. At Nick’s tournament a few weeks ago I ran into two of my former class mates, one who trains PL and I’m not sure where but the other guy is training somewhere else as well. It’s really not a big deal to me, but of course, when a teacher losses a student I’m sure that they feel as bad. It is not only the student that invests in the student teacher relationship. Besides, if everyone who joins a style stays in that style it would become over crowded and there would be less room for new students. :D As for what goes on here on the forum I enjoy the PM group as there are far less trolls then the general group and I find information about the style I am practicing, PM! Even if I don’t agree with what someone has to say I will often listen, but always draw my own conclusions.
Peace!~^~^~^~

yu shan,
Maybe a little nervous. Not sure what to expect from you guys, friends or foe. Like I said before I expected to be called on my knowledge/ability. The way things are between the schools I thought I might be doing a REAL demo that day. Past experiences still haunt me (I'll tell you some day). I'm still not used to parties that don't have one or two fights before the night is over.
18elders,
After awhile I figured you guys had no interest. The talk about Luan Jie didn't go very far so I just let it go.
BTW, nobody told me not to associate with anyone and I have not heard of anyone being told that either. I think it's one of those 'kiss up' things where people want to be good little puppies. Real MA's think for themselves, make their own decisions and usually lead the pack rather than follow. At least that's my opinion. But then, you should stick by your school and Sifu. Anyone that was a friend before is still a friend until they do something to change that.
This could be an interesting thread! I have been on both sides, pain is evident. A conscious teacher knows the feeling of losing a good student. It sucks the life out of you, especially when you give your all. Priorities change...even a Shrfu needs to learn this!

After all that has been shared here on KFO, and meeting face to face with the PL group, what are your thoughts about us?
Do you think MC worries about the little guy? I only ask this because, he doesnt seem to worry about the teacher`s in WL !
Well said Frogman... :)
Luan Jie?
What about it?
Tainan Mantis,
I was interested in the differences between the PL version and Zhang Bing Dao's version. A mutual friend tried to show me the app for the beginning of PL version and it didn't make sense to me so I brought it up to 18elders at the wedding party. He mentioned it to Pong Lai but I guess he wasn't interested.
yu shan,
Pretty normal group of guys (and girl). Thought you guys would be more interested in talking apps and such and trying to 'open my eyes'. I could have spent hours in that field. Guess you train so much you needed some time off. :D
None taken.:cool:Quote:

Well said friend, your Shrfu has my utmost respect, mostly due to the fact, WL is an all male world. She hangs in there. Tell NM no hard feelings just getting a rise out of folks!
Hua Lin,
I don't know how showed you the app for Luan jie.
The mei hua and mimen version are a little different but the beginning, called 5 Strikes continuous smash, is almost exactly the same.
Seems my Gong-Fu Uncle will be in Florida (May) ! Would benefit you Hua Lin to make the trip to Tampa, with your questions. I plan to be there, I have my questions also. This would be a better time for everyone, alot of distractions before. My questions are not negative, just the interest to learn from my Uncle.
NM
Thanks Man!
yu shan,
That's a bit of a drive and I have class to teach every night. I have a few non-WL mantis forms (not sure what branch) I picked up 2nd hand that I would like to get cleaned up but so far the only options are too expensive. We'll see. I'd probably be slitting my throat if I did.
I'm in the same boat with the Choy Lay Fut I know. I'd like to get the rest of Ping Kuen I learned from Lee Koon Hung but haven't pursued that yet either. Actually I really like their 5 Animal form. Tat Mau Wong put out a training tape on it but I prefer to get it from a live source.
Tainan Mantis,
If I have the time to stop in and say hello I will. (Slit- gurgle - gurgle)
Very interesting thread....sounds A LOT like Shaolin-do....actually, WORSE...
who's this Suzy chick? sounds like she needs a choke put on her LOL
no offense to anyone still associated with WL...but from these stories...geez...what a mess of BS
YYD
Suzy chick = Suzy Chan, Master Chan Pui`s wife. This mess is just the tip of the iceberg, I`m not going there.
sounds like Suzy wears the pants in the family LOL
..... DOH!!!! :eek:
