What a strange coincidence.....Sandman2's 108th is about NOT Chan Buddhism!

Keith-

This is not an intent to hijack your thread but if you are interested in an in depth discussion of the book "Mastering Kung Fu" we are starting one on the Southern Shaolin Global Kung Fu...

I would introduce him to the basic philosophies of Chan instead of showing him specific "techniques".

This way he will most likely avoid the problem in the first place.

Hello!

I would like to invite you to visit a forum devoted to Southern Shaolin Kung Fu.

We discuss all styles of Southern Shaolin including Hung Fa Yi Wing Chun and Chi Sim Weng Chun.

Thanks, Savi.

Why? He'll never see it there!

Rolling Hand,

Will you allow me to PM or email you?

I have tried both but not received a reply.

Perhaps you could email me and I can reply to it with what I have to say?


Thanks,

I think this might be the root of your problem!

Take the "thought" out of your WCK and you might be surprised at it's spontaneity!

Still, the question remains- where did he get them from or did he make them up himself?

A friend of mine defined it as this today:

"It is a way to get to know the other guy".

Through the Kiu Sau forearm bridge you get to know your opponent safely. This allows you to do the right...

In non-HFY lineages is there a difference between kiu sau and chi sau?

I ask because I am interested in knowing for myself! Maybe we can recognize a core difference or similarity.

Jesus, Terence!

I was asking with the true spirit of trying to gain knowledge about your interpretation of "shadow". The only interpretation I know of is our own here at our Kwoon. I am looking...

Actually this is sort of true! Although I think it is actually the other way around. Kiu Sau is "Truth"- therefore it is not unusual to see it appear in other styles (especially if those other styles...

Terence-

Could you explain this to me using examples? Specifically the "shadow" part? What exactly is the "shadow"?

Thanks!

I always thought that chi sau (from a Yip Man perspective) taught how to understand energies at a bridge. By practicing chi sau you become more sensitive once contact is made and you are able to...

From my limited experience my understanding of kiu sau is that through forearm contact it serves as a buffer or safety zone, using structure and energenics sensitivity, between you and the opponent....

The French did give us the Northern United States...errr....I mean "Canada".

I would be interested to hear what different people think the purpose of the wooden dummy is.

Does it teach hitting techniques?

Footwork?

Energetics?

Does it condition the arms and...

Exactly!! I saw the same thing.

It was a lot of fun. I'm glad I got to see SNT from other families performed!

Hey- Maybe less time on internet posting messages to people who will never "get it"?

Wing Chun- 2 to 3 hours a day.

General fitness (weight training)- 1 to 2 hours a day.

Time at work- 4 to 6 hours a day

Sleep- 5 to 6 hours a night

Time with family- 2 to 3 hours a day

What the VTM is good at IMHO is promoting the VTM, promoting Benny Meng, and promoting HFY (aren't they all the same?). TN

Terence- Are you stating that you feel the sole and only purpose of the...
