Nice!! Martial arts and mountain biking! Is there anything greater? Well I guess there is but I have to actually talk to my wife for the other thing. These I can do on my own.

I messed up my RC a couple of years ago in a bad moutain bike fall. I was reduced to just practicing sword forms because it was the only thing I could do with one arm. It took about 4-5 months before...

Well I have to say I started out 7 years ago as a larper. I'll admitt it and yes I am ashamed.

I got into Kung fu because of movies. I liked what I saw and wanted to do the same. What I didn't...

Holy Cow!!:eek:

Note to self never make that guy angry! Or if you do wear a really good cup.

Man I've got my legs crossed just thinking about that. Like a scared turtle!

I don't know that it assists. But that's not the arguement. Your saying it makes you end up on your back. I"m saying that's not that case in my experience. Sorry I don't have a youtube clip! I land...

There is a difference between having experience and claiming it. Those with it don't need evidence to support it. It stands out the second you touch hands with them. I've seen Sanjuro videos and...

Experience is everything! I could talk theory about flying planes all day long. Doesn't mean I can fly a plane. Watching Youtube looking for evidence to support your theory is useless. Do it yourself...

That's fair! You can tell alot by the way a person talks. You could have never mentioned your past competitive experience and I would still agree with you. Just because you make a good arguement and...

So what exactly is your experience with Judo? I might have missed this but do you actually train in this art? Sanjuro has extensive experience and when the man says you don't want to be in that...

Now that's some real men! Take the skirt off boys it's time to spar with metal.

I just think foam doesn't give you the fear of being hit. You will attack much differently if you are worried about...

Hahaha! I've got vids! Not that I'm going to share them. I've only been training a couple of years and I'm sure I'm not the best example of skill. I do think that type of training has made me better...

Thanks for that Troll!

I'm might be playing into this a bit. But I spar all the time with staffs. I have a couple training partners that use kendo sticks and we have at it all time. It's made me...

Nice! What's the point of learning a weapon if you can't really use it. One question..... When you say you spar and fight with weapons how do you actually do this? Is it with foam weapons or...

I was waiting for this discussion to come up as I was thinking about it last night. Good timing David!

I started out learning forms for Bo, Broadsword, Double Broadsword, 3 section staff. I have...

Hello Guys,

I was looking at joining a new school and wanted to see if anyone was familar with this style. I haven't heard anything about it and can't seem to find too much information outside of...

Thanks for that David!!

I have seen most of those schools already. There is a couple in there that really look good. However I have trouble telling a good school from a bad one even when I attend...

I'm hoping you guys will be able to help a new guy out. I have been training Wing Chun for 4.5 years and I'm looking to try something different. My sifu also taught me some shaolin weapons forms as...

Well it was worth a try. Maybe we should just change every thread to a " you aren't training realistically" thread.

I think every Martial art has some value. The way people fight has not changed...

Well with this logic then many other systems are in touble too. Karate, kickboxing and MT, most forms of Kung fu and the list could go on and on. I don't think that one art will have all the anwers...

Hold on a second. Let me get this straight because that's a pretty bold assumption. How do you know I"m not doing realistic training and I don't understand it the principles behind this? What you are...

I've been reading this forum for a couple of years. I rarely post as I am pretty young in wing chun and I never feel like I have much to add. Especially when you have guys like Phil, Victor and Joy...

Well I know that he did not learn form WSL. That was my own mistake in posting that he did. I will respect your wishes and drop this. Although I feel that the training I have received so far has been...

Fair enough Joy! I understand where you are coming from. I am very new to wing chun and have only been training for 3 years. To be honest this is my first experience with any martial art. I have no...

Well all I can tell you is what he has told me. I have no way to verify if it's true or not I wasn' there. But by the way he describes his training with HKM it does sound like it was very hard to get...

Wow did I have a brain ****! I don't know why I wrote WSL. You are totally correct. I have really enjoyed his teaching so far. He learned a ton of weapons forms as well from a different sifu while he...
