Excellent point preacher,

Actually Mr Ross, I am impressed with your retort. You do seem well researched on this subject, and are actually posting interesting points. However, My main contention is in how you in passing...
Of course,
You said, "how a religion started by a Jew, practiced by Jews, with a distinctly Jewish context and distinctly Jewish message gave birth to one of the most anti-semitic movements in the...
Interesting that you felt the need to pre-empt your personal opinionof the "facts" with the "trained historian" statement. Was this to add more credibility to what you say in case people with...
Good Reading:
-Robert Smith "Masters and methods"
-Chow & Spangler "Kung Fu:history and philosophy"
-BK Frantzis "Combat techniques of the internal arts"
-Yang Jwing Ming "Longfist Kungfu"
This is ridiculous. Either people are responsible for their own actions or a scapegoat will always be provided. This case exemplifies two ugly human characteristics mating: greed and lack of...
Thank you so much for your amazingly insightful (and narrow-minded) comments. You have trully shown me the superiority of your intellect and how "the poor little chinese folk dont know science" as I...
That is interesting... I learned that the tension was more "internal" if you will, and not just contracting muscles in the body. If you relax all the muscles during inhalation then this method is...
Well, I have to say that this is depressing. Why is everyone so upset? And is a public forum the proper place to have a dispute?
Whoever was wronged, please try to forgive and move on. Petty flame...
sanjuro_ronin, I am confused.
Are not individuals "CO-exiting" referred to as people? We may be playing with semantics rather than the meat of the discussion, do you agree?
Do you disagree with...
Some people on this thread seeem to be personifying an "organization". An organization is a social and intellectual construct that only "exists" because of people. So, I am confused about your...
Hi 5th brother,
I have a copy of that book. I may be able to help but my chinese is not so good. What are your questions?

Hello all!
Nice one hskwarrior! LOL :D Sounds like a FOX special: "When 5-clawed Beavers Attack part 13"
Also, to anyone who cares: a panther is actually just a black jaguar. It is not a...
Nice! :D Surely you gave the password also right? : "Wun Hun Lo" :p
Ona serious note, though.... I am hopelessly ignorant of many of these names and terms, but could someone explain what the...
This is exactly the kind of miscommunication that can happen when people say that "strength" is soo important. One person lifts as a "bodybuilder" while another as a "strongman". Also, there are...
What the hell is wrong with all of you? One person mentions beaver and everyone in the thread starts cooning like middle school boys that just discovered a dirty mag.
Seriously, everyone that has...
Thank you sanjuro_ronin for putting it so simply and eloquently! :D
So, yes, this is really just a theoretical discussion with no absolute "right" answer. The point being: train for both skill and...
Are you serious??? You think that if someone is bigger than another they will win nomatter what?
Lets take UFC as an example, as I am sure you are one of the millions completely infatuated with...
Hmm...Mr. Punch is it possible for you to state your opinion without being condescending? It seems not... *rolleyes*
I think the whole purpose of ginosifu asking this question is merely a...
Hmm... many of the techniques seem to be the same however the arrangment and pattern is quite different. Thanks tho... Great footage of the demo tape...Please keep it coming!
I do plan to film it...
Hello all!
I just started learning a new form from a new style to me. My question is what is the name of the form? Here is the info I have:
1) The form was taught by Master Wai Lun Choi (in...
Hello Sifu Ron,
I would be very interested in hearing a couple of the forms that Sifu Wong passed on to you from Mok Gar (Mot Ga??).
This style fascinates me however there is precious little...
Excellent point sanjuro_ronin. I wondered if you would call me on it...
MMA like TMA have a somewhat of a bell curve of skill level. There are a majority of "decent" level people and very few...
My question is: Has the skill level really improved that much since then?
At least in the amateurs, I would say no. I regularly go to local events and have to say that by and large, most people...
Sifu Ron and Sifu Jim,
Fair enough on the personal issues. It has been great having you two at kung fu forum to share your experiences!
Two things I would like to ask: One, I noticed on the...
