Why is it necessary to have ranking at all? Isn't it more logical to evaluate a person's skill level (both physical and academic) and teach based on that? When the skill level goes up you teach...

He does the form well, that's pretty much all you can tell from seeing this video. Don't we all agree that forms are a catalog of techniques not a means of fighting? I would hope that no one thinks...

That's a very nice version of Tiger Crane, quite a few of the crane techniques are identical to those in some of the Hop Gar forms I practice.

How do I join that place, it sounds great!

Why $999, I thought 8's were the lucky number. Wouldn't $888 be more appropriate?

I think if one could make good on the threat of "I'll rip your arm off and beat you to death with it" the world would be a better place.

The floor may not be a weapon but it certainly is the enemy!

But in Pak Hok, we say the basic are the real secret. For this reason, techniques and principles other than the seed fists are taught through routines. So if you want to at least see all the...

I want to make sure I learn all the techniques and the different ways they should be executed. If there is one, two or three routines with all the techniques and the different ways they should be...

I have this one and I like the weight amd balance of it. It's not flexible.

The first form is Hop Gaah Mui Fa, not sure onthe solo form either. The second form is the beginning of Hop Gaah Tiet Lin.

Couple of things, first his treatment of you is unprofessional and unfriendly but it also sounds as if he's that way across the board. You'll have to decide on your level of tolerance for that...

I think the beauty of that is that you won't even notice. It'll all be drool and canned peaches for you.

The Cavalier attitude case has a closable hole at the top so you can carry long weapons but obviously the end that sticks through the top would be unprotected. I have no good suggestions for airline...

Go to this website (takes a minute to load to be patient) and take a look at this case. I actually have one and it's very nice. It's bigger then I thought it would be so that I don't use it every...

Okay, here's me. I don't compete, haven't been in a fight since about 5th grade (roughly 35 years ago) and don't envision all of the sudden finding myself in situations that fighting is required.

I'll be 47 in a few months and I'm certainly not physically the same as I was 20 years ago. That doesn't mean my training is any less. I know I'm not as fast or as strong so I have to be smarter,...

I've met Sifu Wong, he seems very friendly and my Sifu speaks highly of him, he even came up to our school and did some work with our Lion Dance team. His school would be closer to Albany then Glens...

Hi,

The school I go to is in Glens Falls, about 45 minutes north of Albany. Kids classes are available Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 5:00 pm to 5:45 pm. No web site to link to but if you'd...

Glad to be of some small service, enjoy your search.

There is a fellow in Albany named Jianye Jiang who teaches Tai Chi. You can google Tai Chi Albany NY and he comes right up. I know nothing about him other then he's in Albany.

There is a Hop Gar...

I agree with what's already been said and I'd add one more thing. Many people have a fear of being hit, working with pads can give them a means to train the more martial aspect of the art with less...

I am pretty sure that plumdragonherbs.com sells loose items for your own recipe. I've not bought any but I did by their Jow and it is very good.

What is the difference in context between 2 guys fighting today vs 2 guys fighting 100 years ago. Not sparring but fighting. I'm not trying to be an ass, I just don't understand the last sentance...

Okay, now I think I understand your point; the paradox of fighting vs. self-development. My gut feeling is that the paradox actually illustrates my argument. One might start out at one end of the...
