You would need video conversion/editing software that supports the types of files you are looking to convert. The majority of these software packages unfortunately cost a pretty penny. If you have...
Heh... It looks like Microsoft Windows just had a problem with reading the apostrophe in the filename. I removed the apostrophe and it should be viewable to you now. :D
18elders, are you getting a ripped quicktime icon when you try to open that particular file?
Edit: Also, try saving the file to your hardrive and see if it will open properly when you click on it...
This topic has been brought up in the past on multiple occasions. Maybe this thread will contain information that might be of some help to you: ...
I strongly aggree with this point of view. If you are never on the losing side, then you are obviously not learning anything. I began learning to fight at age 18 when a friend showed up to work...
Tainan's quicktime clips from an older message thread have been moved over to tainan.colugo.org as well. The Mimen lanjie clips that Tainan has just introduced to us are the ones labeled luanjie...
Though many of this forum's member's are probably already familiar with this article, in light of the topic at hand I thought that the re-posting of this brief and informative link to an article on...
Just to elaborate on EarthDragon's post, the solar (a.k.a. celiac) plexus should be located just behind the stomach. If I remember correctly from my old A&P classes, it is one of the largest nerve...
I have dropped sparring partners on more than one occasion, though not often, with the very first attack thrown. More often than not it involved a solid strike to the solar plexus (with heel, knee,...
Does the same thing happen if you click on this link? If so, then you might want to save the file to your own harddrive first and then view it locally. The clip requires the Quicktime Player to...
I was wondering if any of you would have good references for reading material or personal contacts regarding lever dummy design and construction?
Since I have only been practicing northern tanglang for a year, my encyclopedia of mantis technique is significantly miniscule, but I ended up using one particular technique by reflex because I had...
Does anyone know if Luo Guang Yu happened to have any influence on the martial spear forms (if any) that were established during his lifetime?
Lee Yuen Kam is much more well-known throughout the world by his chosen american name: Bruce Lee.
I respect the amount of effort that Lee Yuen Kam put in learning to communicate with a larger spectrum of this planet's population. His english may not have been perfect (heck, most americans have...
The monkey form kinda hit something in the back of my head. I have noticed that alot of the pictures and videos that I have picked through regarding eight-step praying mantis are very ground heavy...
Well said.
Most of the forms I have seen firsthand (in my extremely limited experience as a student thus far), at least as far as tai chi and seven star tanglang are concerned, were all on routes which were...
By the term linear, are you referring to the direction of forward and backward movements in a form being acted along the same line or travel?
Pardon me as I re-iterate: Let me put it this way.... when you pick a teacher one should make sure that they are infatuated with their art. If someone claims to know everything about what they...
Didn't Fan Xu Dong supposedly take out two bulls while unarmed in a pasture somewhere...? Pardon me if I've gotten my kungfu storylines mixed up as my memory is *extremely* bad...
What exactly has your teacher told you about what you are learning? Would it be taboo of me to ask how you actually began this training?
Just as an aside, I'd like to state my great appreciation for the depth of information and amount of effort that was put into that particular article. The edges on my copy of that issue of the...
In seven star tanglang there seems to be a theme of sidekicks being used almost predominantly for closing distance, retreating strikes, leg suppression, and high-low combinations. It is almost...
