We could say this about most MA. :(

Well this thread has taken a surprising turn for the better...

I usually can't be bothered to comment on his videos, but that is honestly the worst imitation of drunken boxing I have ever seen. :eek:

Xiao Hong Quan is a pretty form???

Do you also do shin conditioning on gravel bags, or just the palms, feet..ect?

You and I could get along....

:eek: That is awesome. :D

It's been a while, but MK is back in the win category!

I think it's harder under those circumstances too. A lot of this stuff is a generational culture by now. That makes it that much harder to get out of the loop then someone who's surrounded by...

:eek:That was awesome!:D

I didn't mean to imply a fist fight, but I'll bet Frank would give him a pretty good tirade about what he thinks about him. Of course I don't know him personally, so I wouldn't know how he would...

Could you imagine?? I wonder if HSK would start by calmly asking questions, then go off...or just go off. It would be good family fun, I think. :D

Good luck with that. I ordered a book once from an American company, but they had to back order the book from China. After 6 months I told them to cancel my order. They apologized and told me it...

Somebody had...

Ie Chang Ming left China for Indonesia around 1928...according to the SD timeline. Taji 24 form was created in 1956 in Beijing.

Why is there even a discussion about it being handed down from...

Just my thoughts as an outsider..don't hold any weight or mean anything...you would have a far better perspective being directly involved and apparently unemotionally attached to the what the facts...

I understand "Gong Fu" can be applied to anything...again, this isn't a direct reference to stage performance, but the author is writing about this skill as one of the 72 arts traditionally trained...

Stage performance seems like it would be a logical avenue for a martial artist who wasn't teaching, fighting, in the military, a body guard or whatever...

I tend not to believe any...

I wouldn't know, just sharing that one reference I remembered...I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as some of the other folks here about Chinese culture/history...was always more interested in combat,...

As to the circus stuff...this is an excerpt from "Training Methods of 72 Arts of Shaolin" -1934. It doesn't expressly mention "circuses" but I think it could be implied, by "roaming acrobats." I...

Definitely a different side of you then we see here! Props for putting yourself out there here in hostile territory...I thought it was good man!

Can't I just get some popcorn and enjoy the show? :rolleyes:
