we got invited, but we're not going this year.

probably next year though.

We survived with nary a scratch.

But we're also in Kentucky.

Looks like someone watched Last Comic Standing too.

IronFist - try 'search bush'


I beat it but I only got 138 :(

How about next year Gene?

I can get you a picture of Sifu Tu wearing a sun hat and yellow goggles busting out a mantis pose :)

But I'll definitely be there next year... don't know what I'll do...

Well, that's the thing. I only mentioned terminology AFTER I mentioned an 8 stance routine, which I figured he would've recognized. The only reason I was even bothering to ask because he claimed a...

Perhaps, I couldn't be certain though. My knowledge as an MA newbie is limited to WL itself. I haven't had the chance to speak to those from other styles or watch them extensively to expand myself...

Im very unfamiliar with the terminology, but reading it over I think it translated well in my head.

Many thanks Steve. I was hoping us Wah Lum people were not alone in the concept of the 8 Horse...

Ok...

I'm wondering how widespread this is known among the northern praying mantis styles.

I ran into someone who claimed to have had experience in 7 Star AND Northern Praying Mantis (first...

AFAIK, Lee Kwan Shan mixed his families Tam Tui style with Jut Sow Tong Long (wrestling hands) and named it Wah Lum after the old temple.

I'm sorry, but all I got out of reading why some of you left Wah Lum was....

"Wah wah wah politics wah wah....... wah"

When did Kung Fu become about politics and not about learning Kung Fu? Who...

I get an Ashida Kim vibe from that thread.

Not to stir up anything, of course.

The basics are what makes the foundation of your kung fu. All you need is the simplest forms to be a totally badass fighter.

but to answer your question in context...

the most powerful form (or...

I fail to see what you mean by "no boundaries" or your style is not bound by this or that.

I was simply stating that it wasnt impressive because I see someone holding a short flute in the middle...

I will try and talk with my super to see if I cant work my 18 (im only part time) through the week to come down for a weekend or so. No promises... it's a factory job.

Uhh... So was this invented before Tai Chi?

What a joke.

I work weekends, otherwise I'd be along in a heartbeat with my 150.

**** thee work schedule.

Otherwise I'd force Yu Shan to drive me down there :(

heh I just wanted to say that the flute form looked pretty crappy. From my understanding you dont really thwack someone with a flute...

But, take my opinions with a grain of salt.

Not a grand opening, but we are a new school. Been around for only 6 months, so we're practically brand new.

Leroy was amazing and very deceptively strong, he makes it all look so easy. His 3...

I'm not articulate, but I'll try my best.

Today Sifu Tu along with Tom, Andy, Justin, Brad came up from Orlando, while Sifu Leroy with Miriam and others (sorry I forgot your names), also came to...

lol, I took your little tickle IQ test...

and let me see... OH I get a 135.

HMMMM... yep it's bs.

Because I'm not a genius :D

I personally think it comes down to the person's body and movement style.

Rigid people might do better with things like Karate and the like, and others may do better with things that flow like...

I give it a 2. He spelled it "waist".

Sifu quizzes us after class sometimes, but I'm not sure. Might have to do the written part though. I'll find out in a couple of months though :)
