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...
Hey! :mad:
Also, I figure NS is a foregone conclusion.
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.
Here's a video of Cha #4 you guys might find interesting. It's the BSL-flavored version.

The performance is crappy, but the first two thirds of the...
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?
Diego, what exactly is your experience with WC to be able to assert knowledge of how it works and how it should best be trained?
How rude. :mad:
Heaven forbid I read your posts.
I didn't say WC sucks.
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 style of CLF beat the style of MT? :confused:
I really have no idea what this means.
This would be speculation.
Do you seriously believe this?
Is your post sarcastic? I seriously can't tell.
Thank you for typing this.
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...
Yup, those are a couple pieces of his #7. Thanks.
At 0:52 in that clip, Sifu Lai Hung (one of my teachers - mentioned earlier in this thread) does the beginning of #1/#3.
In fact, the #6 that kid does in the video is the Lai Hung version. Almost...
Good point. There's a definite performance element to most traditional sets. Okay, so Wing Chun is ugly as sin, but it's an exception. You know what I hear the most from people who have seen me...
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?
In what sense do you mean that this set is "better than most?" Where is this value judgment coming from?
I'm fairly certain this is a troll attempt. Seems to be working. But troll or not, it at least shows us how ridiculous it is to advocate the old just because it's old. The sentiment that the older,...
It's actually http://www.wle.com. :cool:
