I saw your lawyer colors on that one! :D

LOL at those last two posts. :D

Where are you getting this idea from? "Demilitarized"? Not all TCMA are/were used by the military. Mercenaries, bodyguards, peasants, members of secret societies, etc often used TCMA. And why are you...

I think it would be funnier if Kung Fu Fan wasn't an alias for someone else. That, or it is really an alias for Gene. :D

If that's true, what was he doing before then?

There are a lot of things I can point out in this video, but I mentioned the iron palm because I see danger in it. They're leaning forward and smashing...

Take this SD video.

Lung Ying. The form is Sup Luk Dong (16 Moves).

I don't judge styles by mcdojos that claim to teach them. Mcdojos don't truly represent the arts they claim to teach. It’s the real practitioners that show what a style is about.

I was thinking about adding a part about hell freezing over but decided to let it stand as is. :D
Now all we need is something for you and Meatshake to agree on! :eek:

I agree with kwaichang that Karate is not "stop and go". I think "stop and go" movement is more something that beginners of any style often do.

I never said you are rose colored (which I think would actually be more of a comment on your skin tone then attitude towards martial arts lol). I said that your view of martial arts history seems...

Where is this credo from? If this credo does exist, it has certainly not been present in all Kung Fu lineages. Besides, martial arts have been used for offense many times throughout history. There is...

First of all, I said that this thread (not others) has lots of off-topic discussion. Secondly, I think you are taking this stuff way too seriously. :rolleyes:

This thread is filled with off-topic discussion. I compared this thread to a bar once. How can you tell a bunch of guys at a bar to stick to one topic?

You could be the most peaceful person in the...

I agree.

Philosophy or no philosophy, Leung Wah Chew did Kung Fu and fought with it. He is not the only figure in Kung Fu history that wouldn’t fit what seems to be your standard of what martial...

If you look into the past, more often then not, most martial philosophies seem to reflect the opposite. That being killing your opponent. Look at Bushido.

Martial arts were created for fighting....

What are you talking about? :confused:
If you are trying to say that someone who has the "philosophical aspect of martial arts" (which for many people seems to pretty much add up to acting like...

I don't think I'm talking about that at all. Yes there is such thing as Mo Duk/Wu De. Yes there are other benefits to martial arts besides fighting ability such as health, fun, etc. But I think when...

You seem to be hung up on the whole Shaolin monk thing. Over the years, there have been many great Kung Fu fighters that aren't monks. In fact, there are many great fighters that practiced Shaolin...

What Shaolin styles are you talking about? There is a long history of fighting in Shaolin based arts and not everyone that practiced Kung Fu, or Shaolin styles for that matter, was a monk. Monks are...

Actually, I think what some modern martial artists call philosophical and spiritual is nothing more then B.S. that's been shoved down their throats. Historically speaking, Kung Fu was used for...

Is that another Sin The claim?

You are welcome.
Lamassu,
Gong Sau is another Cantonese expression. It means "talking hands", another words fighting.
