    The Chinese masters I've worked with only teach what students have the initiative to work on their own. If you just come to class, do your horse stance, do your forms, and go, that's all you learn....

    This is mere theory.

    If your kung fu works, the ring doesn't magically make it not work.

    A few of the simpler sets have been adopted by Southern styles, like Choy Li Fut, and thus have a more Southern flavor. That's the closest that you will come to a Southern kung fu version of the ten...

    I'll try to drop in to say hi.

    If I do, we should try to grab lunch/coffee if you're not too busy, but I have a feeling you'll have a full schedule.

    Knowing you, you'll probably find me before...

    What?

    You're saying that America is both too stupid to realize Obama is black and too racist to elect him because of it.

    Nice, Lokhopkuen. :)

    We do the splits in #1, too. The floor was very rough where we were filming, which made it hard to slide down into them smoothly.

    I guess I'll re-open the door.

    This doesn't deserve its own thread, but here's some footage of me doing #1 (I think in 2003). I sucked, but the video is done pretty well. It was made by a film...

    The same could be said for any style.

    Are you saying that WC's founders left out the basics of fighting? Isn't that a pretty big oversight?

    I guess my point is that if you have to learn another fighting system before you can make yours work, you're doing it wrong. You shouldn't need to practice Muay Thai in order to be an effective Wing...

    The "that's not traditional" crowd is starting to drive me away from TMA in disgust.

    For what it's worth, a lot of the San Shou in the U.S. (like Cung Le's) has nothing to do with kung fu. It just works within the San Shou ruleset.

    There is heavy boxing, wrestling, and judo...

    I'm confused. Are we talking about horse only as an exercise? That first photo is a nice exercise, but a horrible stance. I tend to keep the two (exercise vs. utility) separate. I don't even use...

    So it's the performance you're referring to rather than the choreography? Fair enough. I'd agree that her performance is very good. What's the purpose of pointing that out?
