Ha! Always good to have a weapon near the door, right?

Also makes an awesome coat hanger :D

You could do the same set with the dai pah. Same idea.

Aw, that's too bad. It sounds cool.

Tai chi teacher Chen Zhonghua just posted this excellent video talking about the stages of tai chi training.

Print magazines are going the way of the dodo, so it was probably inevitable. Hopefully, you can develop new online revenue sources that will keep the content flowing.

Anyways, thanks for letting...

An interesting article on the name origins of the "core" forms of Choy Lay Fut.

I see them now! Much better, thanks.

I would guess a combination of Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, blogs, etc. cut into forum traffic. But it was definitely not helping to get to the forum and not...

That's too bad. I think it kind of killed this forum. New users probably don't think there's any content here.

What happened to all the threads that used to be in these forums?

When you compare forms with the same name, they are completely different in terms of content and sequence. It's almost as if they are different styles.

Glad to see my thread from 2001 at the top of the Tai Chi forum.

Playing with this a bit more makes me think the hands are a set up for a low kick. Anywhere you see a cat stance could be applied as a low kick. Otherwise, why not choose a more stable and/or mobile...

I think in CLF this stance/hand combo is more for parrying a punch. In real application it would probably look more like a quick back step.

A recent interaction on Facebook inspired me to post here..lol. I've been working my CLF again, breaking down the forms and really thinking through applications. I'm curious about the diu ma chun...

Because I have not been able to reach a resolution with the administration of this forum regarding recent events this will be my last post to the Kung Fu Magazine Forums.

It was asked in another thread why I ignore listed such and such a person. I'll explain here so I can link this thread to my signature. Kind of an FAQ.

So here goes:

I generally put people on...

Because your technique has more effect once you have drawn them into a position that is unfavorable.

For example, have you ever been hit in the stomach when you weren't expecting it? Compare that...

I was thinking the other day about techniques that distribute force perpendicular to the bones. For example, Choy Lay Fut's Sau Chui or the Muy Thai round kick. I have seen with my own 2 eyes people...

Before you learn canon fist you need to learn the Yi Lu (first form.)

The canon fist techniques are what you do once you've drawn someone in by being soft. You contact, neutralize, then issue...

Thanks man.

Well I've gotten a bunch of positive email replies from the BJJ club at my uni and the beauty is that there is no charge. I just signed up at the fitness club up the street ($70/month) from me and...

I'd rather not say on a public forum but it is one of the major universities in Manhattan.

Looks like its on at the university. They meet a couple times a night, no charge. Not sure where the instructor is from?
