There's a lot of truth to that. If you ever saw the Discovery Channel's "Xtreme Martial Arts" which followed one of these modern Karate Tournament contendors. Basically they concluded that since...

I've seen this guy before but a little older:

Apparently his parents are trying to set him up with an acting career. Don't believe me just check...

I saw "Raise the Red Lantern" (and "Hero" and House of "Flying Daggers"). I begining to think he doesn't like hapy endings.

12. Not the place to pick up chicks... or even a nacho cheese covered ninjette.

I heard Zhang Yi Mou was giving up martial arts movies after House of Flying Daggers. I guess they're like potatoe chips... once you start you can't stop.

lost-tiger,

Thanks. Can't open these at work. Have to download them when I get home. Uggg dialup :mad:

So how do you shoot your bow(s)? What equipment do you...

YangLiCheng,



Tell me about the differences (more then just the horseback thing). I'ld love to hear them. How far away are the targets for horseback shooting? The few video clips I've seen...

"My uncle Bob used to say 'Kill 'em all and let God sort them out.' Until one day he decided to put his theory into practice. It took 36 federal martials to bring him down. Now let's never speak...

No, we didn't have any problem with BOB. I don't think we abused him nearly as much as the bags. It was also Tae Kwon Do so we weren't punching him in the head nearly as often as another school...

I've got Wavemaster's Powerline bag. It's their heavy duty model. It's what we used to use at my old Tae Kwon Do School. These guys can take a lot of abuse. Filled up they are extremely hard to...

Fight the man my northern brothers!

Go tell those stuck up pointy headed beurocrats to mind their own freakn' business and get their slime encrusted knarled hairy hands out of your pockets!

Mantis,

I'm not sure I understand what your saying. How did he waste his talent? ("Cradle 2 Grave" not withstanding). If he was in MA for the money he could have stayed in China and churned...

Wow, I didn't even know the grip had names.

I would suggest just using a grip that your comfortable with.

Although you say you have a one sided blade. If the handle is straight and you hand...

Rokto,

Yes, it takes a while to get your form down. And your throwing distance will change during your throwing session. Your knives will get dinged up and even bent. So try to throw the...

My brother-in-law taught me to throw knives a long time ago (before he was my brother-in-law and was just the strange guy my sister was dating). Knife throwing is lots of fun (especially went you...

I would suggest for those who are interested in chinese archery and can't find someone to teach them to learn everything they can about the Western Archery. Local archery clubs or ranges are a lot...

I did notice a couple people demonstrating had their guide feather facing the wrong way. That's good way to strip that feather right off.

Cool pictures.
That is one thing that Asian Archery traditions do that Western don't and that shooting from horseback! That's just too cool for words.
A lot of neat looking bows, they seemed to...

Is there any difference between the chinese archery and western style archery? How many different ways are there to fire a bow?

I shall share my source of kung-fu movie geekdom.
