Well, I didn't fall and split my pants open like in my worst nightmare. But I don't know how I did. We had three judges in our ring. I saw that most of the judges in other rings would give their...

Thanks for everyone's answers. So if my mom brings a cooler of sandwhiches or something she won't get yelled at? I wish there were some way I could know when everyone's events are so I could go...

Yep, pok ma= dropping horse. Not sure if you knew the english name or not, just in case :).

That's a good theory about the i- bays and sows. I didn't know your body will automatically "prepare"...

Certainly would take away a lot of wants and desires, wouldn't it? ;)

I don't know that much about zen, but it seems like what I do know can be easily embodied in my cats. Maybe not all cats have achieved "enlightenment". But somehow along the way my boys did. I...

No kidding? We do what sounds like that exact pose in a hand form called Dropping Horse. I always wondered what the one finger up was for. I could have sworn I saw some pictures of Buddha making...

yu shan,
I am? Heh heh, how come? Anyway, thanks for answering my questions. I dunno, maybe the heat was affecting the semantic part of my brain and suddenly everything just made sense? *lol*. ...

Hello!

I practice Wah Lum Tam Tui Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu.

I have heard several people say they don't do the yees. I dunno, I'm really new to it and martial arts in general. I've...

Thanks for everyone's replies! I guess it's hard for me to explain what's going on, and being that I'm still a newbie, I probably don't quiet recognize what's going on yet. I'd like to consider...

Today I was ready to kick some "grass" even though the day hit 95 out and all those partaking in the upcoming tournament get to go outside and practice in the black parking lot. I have...

Oh! Something else I just remembered that I wanted toask you guys!

My mom's so cute, she's coming from Tampa as a spectator to watch the tournament. She's really excited but she was wondering a...

You're coming all the way from Jamaica? Wow! This is my first tournament and I heard it's pretty big, but do you know if a lot of overseas ppl come?

Thanks Mickey!

I actually have some bee pollen in my fridge but I always forget to take it since it'snot out with my regualt viatmins *goes to take it now*. It's also funny that while I...

Okay, I asked two of my sihings about the feet pointed forward thing. They said it's part of the style of Northern kung fu. Some styles keep the toes out a little. They said this is partly to...

That's good that you get a lot of attention. At my school you can only test the first Saturday of each month. I was supposed to test in January but I wanted to make doubley sure I was comfortable...

Oh! You aren't that far behind me then, I just finished Little Open Gate but I won't be moving on to First Form until July because I'm preparing for a tournament. Are you about ready to take your...

Ah, so after reading the thread you linked me to, I'm thinking my thighs are more the product of "Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy" :). And hey, you're right, whenever I think of runners they are pretty...

I love Sifu Ricardo! :) He seems so serious but I remember the first time I made him laugh. Now he teases me a little but not a lot. Though it means a bunch coming from him because I was a little...

So I can fit into pants *lol*. I know that sounds girly and stupid, but it's something I've been trying to combat for a long time. When I can finally get pants passed my thighs (around a size 10)...

Oh wait, are you talking about Sifu Dave from Kissimmee? I know he's been helping us out but I have yet to meet him in person.

Who am I forgetting? *counts on her fingers* Mimi (1), Tu (2), Marcus (3), Ricardo (4).... I will feel really bad when I realize who I am forgetting :) I know Sihing Arial was thinking about...

Thank you to everyone, makes me feel better to know my spirit won't JUST be judged on how well I can yell.



Now that you mention it, I'd suspect that perhaps as you said, they tell us to do...

That's an interesting way to look at things, never thought about it that way. I guess I feel like I'm not pushing myself hard enough if I don't go low (I know that's silly...) they don't hurt all...

Right, we learn stick first. I have first form to learn before I get to stick. I'm not sure the order after that but I believe fan is much later and it's more like an "elective" form. I could be...

I have knee problems too, but a little bit different than IronMonkey's so I thought I'd start a new thread.

My doctor told me that through rowing, the cartilage in the back of my knees started to...
