I doubt actual "family," but I do see the distinctive lines of divergence happening. And it seems a bit evident even within this thread: Progressive-Modern-TCMA and Traditional-TCMA.

Seems we...

Although I am not sure I completely agree with Bawang's sentiment (good to see him again though), I could not give a detailed response more than .... meaning - where the hell do I start? and just...

Hello all.

Just wanted to let you know of a new project a few of us have jumped into.

HiYaa The Martial Arts Podcast

Informative yet entertaining and fun. Available on iTunes, etc.

We're...

Thanks for sharing, TungMo! I'm a BSL guy myself but had not heard of him before, so it's always nice to hear about others' stories and whatnot. Thanks! :)

How can I learn more of Yuan Chan?

So I see that we do still have folks trying to do the whole tcma is useless thing. OMG when will you people grow up?

Oh now that is just purely nonsense! ;)

Live to fight another day.


However...I will be sure that the moron who challenged me learned his life lesson in other ways.

Worth-less.

Who says what is something's worth? The ring? You?



Well that's great. Then my point is don't use phrasing that sounds like you cr@p on anything tcma - related...

Egotistic and willfully ignorant people > Folks who dont care about UFC, rings etc. and simply defend themselves and those they care for

[crazy-eyed-emote-I-dont-know-how-to-re-create]

IF...Are you REALLY going down the whole "all tcma is useless" avenue again? Using this thread to do it? OMG you need a wakeupcall...

In short...Whatatard.

I'd have to add...those that consider any association of the Chinese word "Qi" to mean "mystical" anything...

Must admit I didn't read all the replies, however I have to agree with the first response I felt with: YKW's 1st response. Gong is a very broad term, but includes all. It's one of the key...

Makes little difference. I think you know what he's getting at. This was about a Chinese military unit training some very practical kung fu - not about the morals and ethics of various world military...

Agreed and you can see them fairly clearly in the actual form itself too.

Pretty neat. Thanks for the share.

Dude if Kung Fu stinks, PLEASE F*****ing LEAVE the KUNG FU Forum.

So whatcha sayin here? TCMA got no ground-game?
Sorry, couldn't resist. ;) :P

Super Powers.
But I am discerning.
Only if they're really and truly Super Duper Powers.

Badaa and Bing.
These ring true to my sentiments as well.

Judging by Scott's response, I'm guessing there were a few recent posts that turned the tide of the topic a bit and so I sounded rather silly. Sorry then :P

Although I wanted to dodge this entire idiotic thread...I did want to pop in on this sub-topic that is getting out of hand: technique vs. principle.

Principles of TCMA are not all poetic deep...

I have not read post but I have to say that in answer to the question no and you're severely mentally limited if you think anything close to yes.
