i don't train there, but know someone who does. they hold a large tournament every year. do you live in edmonton?

the five family weapons intro was excellent - thank you

i bet ikea had something to do with this. if they can spruce up a bowling alley, why not a dojo?

lazy-ass destroyer

my school does hardwood and waxwood longstaff, shortstaff, double stick(based upon double sword), and double stick kali. some students also learn three section staff and the hooked cane.

not resisting is what i do if my training partner is being too rough. i just let him beat on me and think he is doing the technique properly. i get excellent conditioning, and the jerk gets nothing.

i personally do not like to train at commercial schools. but, plenty of people do. thus, it supplies a service which there is demand for. i prefer the non-profit type however because it allows the...

since we kinda found our way to the topic of dicrimination. do chinese run schools in vancouver tend to encourage the acceptance of non-chinese students? i know that lots of schools don't advertise...

i think that most diciplines are more than their initial purpose.

Brent - that is a well thought out analogy, i hope i can manage to remember it.

mmmmh, that ninja girl is cute

i have always wondered how people mange to keep a long axe or polearm intact in battle. I would worry about getting the blade part chopped off. I guess the benifits must outweigh the losses.

i rented it and was not horribly impressed, but not dissapointed in my loss of $5 CDN. I liked to see lots of shiny weapons. Something with martial arts is always worthwhile to see, in my opinion.

i'm not gonna have to get the hate rolling again am i? i just don't have the energy anymore. all i can say is that his website looks goofy and thus he and his art seem questionable. i don't care for...

skill is skill nomatter where you learned it. lying is always stupid. plain and simple.

i have always had trouble understanding the side kick. i can do one against a heavybag, but i can never put it to use. i think its because i maintain a farely "frontal" stance.

are you by any chance a cook?, or have some other job where you are near an open flame? several time i have singed the hair on my fore arm and then not noticed until it fell of and left a bald spot.

there is nothing cheesy about the art, but some of the patch and belt collecting stuff is. just superficial stuff, not the important things. thats why i think it is often overlooked.

-i think many would agree that some kempo groups have an annoying cheesiness to them. thus, many people overlook their actual skill. i know i have overlooked kempo.

-so what exactly is the chinese...

turiyan - i have seen the ad once this year. the gong at the end is my favorite part.

i think his best bet would be to get rid of some of the weight first. at this point weight loss would be the biggest factor in successful training. once he is 300lbs then he should start the art of...

i called them once after seeing an ad for kempo kung-fu, so when they answered temple kung-fu i did not notice. i cam down for the interview and was quite dissapointed. those baztards did not get my...

unfortunatly i am tired of temple threads. it's 2002, if you are still fooled by this kinda stuff, you are stupid and don't desrve to learn martial arts as far as i'm concerned. back in the 70's and...

since you guys are waiting so intently i will start it off with temple kung fu is a fake evil scam. wheres ajax? he could get this rolling.
