I can see the frustration on both sides of this unfortunate situation (maybe not agree, but see). Hopefully we can move passed it.

Parlati sifu, I agree with your statement that we (generic "we")...

I 100% agree with this, and I think it applies to ALL athletic endeavors. Results simply do not exist without effort. If there were an exception, then everyone would have Olympic skill with no...

Thought I’d make a quick pass-by and offer this…

Thanks to Redmond Sifu for the links. His website is extremely well organized, and packed with TWC information. My prior experience was limited...

Kewl. And I agree, from a sparring/fighting perspective, #3, #4, and to a certain extent #2 (if you can't reach, etc) may be more academic than functional.

#4 is something I trained in the Yip...

No answers to your questions, perhaps. But I wasn't trying to answer your questions. I was trying to point out something that may allow us to compartmentalize our opinions and keep from having our...

Because that is what Gee Sifu has asked for, and while we are all free individuals, we have decided to honor his wishes.

Respectfully, If that is the case, then why even bring HFY into the discussion? Just address it to the individuals.

I am NOT meaning any ill will here, just making an observation. Engaging in...

Parlati Sifu,

That makes sense. And I agree with what you said about heights. While the central line (or facing, or whatever it is called in each system) extends up and down and forward into...

Parlati Sifu,

I thank you for your posts that attempt to keep the discussion productive. I have a few questions.

I am pretty sure that I understand what you mean by the central line and how...

I personally believe that (insert any WC lineage) has similarities with (insert any WC lineage) because WC (all WC to a certain extent) shares a common thread of history, principles, etc. I also...

Amen.

You know, this really is the heart of the matter. At the end of the day, if you are satisfied with what you are getting, then who really cares what anyone else thinks? The only caveat I would add...

LOL. Ain't semantics wonderful? But fair enough. by the definition I *think* you're operating under... I see where you're coming from.

In-Laws? Hmmm... maybe not... they can be even worse...

No.

I can't bring myself to act without decorum towards someone for no reason. Sorry.

-Levi

Just like every other lineage, I'm sure the exercises, concepts, etc, will be a little different (NOTE: not better or worse). You will see great similarities and great differences.

I would give...

I'm assuming (correct me if I'm wrong), that the "like this" you refer to is the "like this" that you were implying with the Charles Manson reference. If that's the case... I agree.

I wasn't...

So true.

At our school (and on the hfy108 site) there is a banner that reads (translation)... "In all directions, there is one family." If only we could all act as if we actually believed it. I...

I agree. I also think that the intent is what lends itself so well to the subjectivity.

By this I mean that "marketing" is really a very vague term. It is simply making the "market" aware that...

Unfortunately, as human beings, most opt for the latter.

Was that a video of guys pulled off the street and asked to flail at each other?

I don't know... pads sure do help to "let" (read: "cooperate") someone really let it all out to look good, while...

In one sentence...

I like having an activity that my wife and I started together and progress side by side through.

I train with Savi, and there are no TWC schools that we know of in our area, and neither of us have extensive experience with TWC.

There is plenty of talk about how "similar" TWC and HFY seems to...

I have sidai that were Ohio State first string wrestlers, 10 year Army Ranger veterans, and NHB fighters.



Said Ohio State wrestler, when last we tested, could actually get me (and my fellow...

These are all erroneous misleading statements wrapped in the guise of vague generalizations.

1. A fighter CAN get better in other ways. Having their weaknesses continually pointed out certainly...
