I watched one of his seminars at Taiji Legacy several years ago and asked him some questions about it afterward. He said he essentially made it up himself by taking Yang style Taiji and doing it with...

I know a lot of traditional forms have been modified to incorporate "wushu like" moves, so that they look more impressive. Now I don't know either of the forms you posted, but it is always possible...

Sorry to resurect such and old thread but I was wondering if this novel (Meng Nian Ching, Evergreen for 10,000 Years) is available in an English translation. Anyone know? A search on the web doesn't...

What is your problem, honestly? It's starting to sound like you have some sort of agenda. Why are you getting so defensive when I never even attacked you, your style, or your teachers? Did I say Yang...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but was he famous among other martial artists, or famous among the general populace? It's kind of hard from today's point of view to determine how famous someone was back...

Did you just completely misinterpret my post?! I don't practice Yang style and neither does my teacher, so there is no issue of whether I have "the real one" or not. I don't have any of them. I have...

I'm seriously hoping NOT to start a flame war by saying this, so please don't take this the wrong way. My goal is not to insult anybody or their style. I'm coming from the perspective of someone that...

That was the point I was trying to make earlier....nothing out there today is "complete", at least as far as we know. What most people are discussing on this thread is what is "necessary", and...

I find it interesting that a lot of people's replies seem to make the assumption that "complete" refers only to concepts of fighting. I think all of those are valid, but for a martial art to be...

I think there are two different things here: 1) what makes a complete style and 2) what things/styles make you feel complete.

For #1, a style can be complete all on its own, independent of any...

I didn't get any popups when I clicked on them, porn or otherwise. I wonder if you might have some spyware on your machine causing that?

In any case, does anyone have the links? I pm's inic, but...

what happened to the pics of the girl's back, abs, and legs (the one with the messy room)? I was going to show my wife but I can't find them now.

firepalm, actually I was looking for both versions. So thanks for clarifying the differences! :)

Okay, I got a lot of good pointers on my last request about the "kip ups". Here's another one. I can't quite describe it because I can't remember exactly what it looks like. But you start out on your...

I found one website that says the Chinese refer to this as a "carp kick". Not sure if that is true or not, but it's something...

I can do the version using the hands w/ no problem. But I can't seem to do the "no hands" version at all. I'm just not getting the mechanics behind it, I guess.

By the way, regarding the...

I know this move exists in several styles but I don't know the name. Basically, you are lying on your back on the ground and you flip up to land on your feet. There seems to be at least two versions,...

Mostly, I have titles by Jiang Jianye - 24 form taichi, 32 sword form, silk reeling, Sun taiji short form, stuff like that. I also have a few Wing Lam tapes (lau gar kuen, lian bu quan), plus a...

I have a lot of martial arts videos that I'd like to sell. Any ideas on where one could sell these? I looked at e-bay, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest there for this type of stuff....

I completely agree. But it is true that WC has fewer forms than most other Chinese arts, and it seems to be generally accepted that WC techniques are simpler and more efficient to learn. Given that,...

I first became curious about this when I met a WC instructors several years ago, and he told me himself that WC was designed to be mastered in 6 months. Then he told me that he'd been training in it...

Just to preface my question, I do not study WC. I also do NOT mean this to sound like a troll. I am not trying to start a flame war - I'm honestly curious about this: I thought that according to the...

That's the closest guess I've heard of yet. Are there any websites or videos that may show those forms ? That way I can see for sure if it's the same one.

I'm guessing it was a Vietnamese style. I say that because the guy knew the names of the forms in English and Vietnamese, but not in Chinese. The same style also had another form called "Stone Lion",...

I'm not saying this guy is doing a legit version, but there WERE old Chinese styles based on concepts of the Crab. I don't if there was ever a full "crab style" but I know the concepts and techniques...
