I didn't even consider the YMCA. I used to go to summer camp at my local Y. I'm not into Judo, Jujitsu, Karate, or anything they'd probably teach, but for the sake of training (and that I'm obviously...
Yes, I can train at home... but if I want to learn new exercises and make sure I'm doing them correctly so I don't hurt myself, or if I want to learn new techniques or forms, what would be a good...
Does Shi De Yang still have a school? Does he still accept foreign students? I tried to go to the website that was written at the end of the article about him in Kung Fu Magazine... but I think it's...
Gain: Warm yummy feeling and jolt of energy
Lose: Frequent high pressured poop
PS-My wife really loves Bel Biv Devoe and Poison's her favorite song.
That's cool, thanks. I'll check that out
ahhh, Chinese Pod...

I'm not a "coffee junkie" necessarily, but I do enjoy GOOD coffee. I usually buy my coffee from Trader Joe's because they have a big selection of pretty good stuff. I can't deal with the major brands...
Here's a picture of the cane on ebay (the seller titles all of his things as "rare", I'm not sure how truthful this person is)
It looks super thin, and the head and I think even the stick is...
I have that issue at home.
Yes, I'm talking about the hammer-like one. The ones I've seen sold on eBay were supposedly acquired from Dengfeng, but the hammer end seems so small and the shaft...
Where can I find a quality Bodhidharma's Cane?
I saw some on eBay, but I don't really like eBay because it's often questionable. Does anyone know where I could get a good quality cane?
I strained (one of) my quads a month ago. When I was doing research, I came across some things that sounded like that. Maybe it's your rectus femoris. It runs from your hip flexor to your knee. But...
The thing that bugs me about these martial arts shows that have been popping up, is that kung fu is so generalized. The kung fu practitioner punched like Bruce Lee, not like a Shaolin Monk (for...
Middle Age Spread? hahahaha
I've never heard of it. What is that exactly? Do I even want to know?
Are you guys sure the students who left your schools really quit... or just moved on to another school and continued training in Martial Arts?
That's very true. I used what I've learned in two situations so far, one of those times I had no choice at all because no one around me spoke english.
That's a wan. Wan goes to the left, Swastika moves to the right. You should see the "Myths and Logic of Shaolin Kung Fu" documentary from National Geographic. The kids little monks form one and they...
Wow, thanks a lot man. I appreciate it.
Yeah, I guess Geoff Darrow's style isn't for everyone... hahah. I've only read Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon from HK Comics. I would definitely like to check out what else they have.
I would like to know if anyone knows of any good Japanese, Thai, Korean, etc. martial arts live-action movies. I've only seen Chinese Kung Fu movies, I'm guessing there has to be some decent...
Just like any other country, it's not like everyone in China agrees with what their government does. I personally disagree with it completely. And don't forget how the government has delt with...
Don't forget Iron Fist! (Who seriously needs a new costume) Who is said to have his own movie directed by Steve Carr.
They were swallowed by the giant reptile that rose from the ground in issue 5.
From Taiwan? That brings up another subject... I've heard people speak of "Taiwanese" and "Shanghainese". I heard some of it, I'm told that if you speak Shanghainese, it impresses people. I guess it...
Yeah, have you ever seen that Simpsons episode when Bart goes to France, and he just starts speaking French out of nowhere? That's what I'm hoping for.
