Well, I started to try to translate the article posted by mr. Tse, but I couldn´t identify a lot of characters, they seem a little bit blurred to me (as I´m not proficient in Chinese reading). I´ll...

No, I have been very busy lately (work, family, you know...), so I still haven´t managed the time to translate that article, even though it´s a small one. :(

IMHO, I don´t think it´s a matter of "how long have you been training CMA", it´s about having or not the skills to read and understand a full text in another language totally different than yours....

Thanks, ngokfei. But I already had the text translated by Google, but much of the information gets lost on these automatic translations. That´s why I asked if someone who can read Chinese could...

ngokfei, could you translate the article for those who can´t read Chinese?
Thank you very much!

Hey, mr. Alextse (or anybody), would you mind translating this article about the WL history for us? Unfortunatly, my Chinese language skills are close to zero, and I´d love to know what´s written on...

Hi Tainan Mantis,

do you know the name of the small form that you´ve mencioned (from the group of 7) that is preserved in the WL curriculum?
Does this form has a "Wah Lum" name (like bengbu = big...

Hi Mickey,

yes, it is the same event. Art did a interesting big axe form.

Oso,

no problem, I will try to get the tape with a friend. :)

Oso, would it be possible for you to convert the vhs tape in dvd or .avi?

Thanks, Oso!

Yes, there´s Pan Qing Fu and his student doing staff vs. spear. They always perform this set, it´s not the first time I see them doing it.

Do you know if there´s a copy of this...

Yesterday I have watched a old tv special program called "ESPN Kung Fu Masters" (a friend of a friend has it recorded in tape). It was a big kung fu demonstration filmed in Orlando, maybe in the...

Tchang Bing Du = Zhang Bing Dou ???? :confused:

Hi Paul,

the army sword and the nine-ring long handle broadsword are two different weapons (although they have basically the same blade), so the forms are also different.
The one showed at the...

LaoShu is correct, but there´s one little detail that maybe is causing this confusion: in many mantis schools we use the cantonese language. So, in cantonese, sou (elder) and shou (hand) have the...

IMHO, this movement could be a block to a spear atacking your lower parts (in this particular case, 3 blocks to 3 stabs).

I have seem these movements being aplied this way in demonstrations (not...

The workout in Wah Lum is really challenging. Your legs will feel like you are wearing 220 lb steel shoes on the first week of training... really intense.

And the chief instructor in this...

Maybe I am wrong, but I am pretty sure that it´s Master Chan Wan Ching (GM Chan Pui´s older kung fu brother) from Wah Lum Pai standing beside master Shek Kin. He is the one with glasses, wearing...

Hi everybody!

I´ve already seen a drunken broadsword form performed at a Wah Lum Anniversary Demo, by a sifu from Boston (don´t know his name, sorry guys). I don´t remember much of the form, but...

There are some pictures of master Chow and his senior students, but there´s no information about them (if they are assistant...

That´s an interesting thread indeed!

Good posts from everybody!
