:) I'm going to say no. Post a youtube link to "Golden Rooster" if you can find one showing the form if you have a chance. I watched a vid some years ago wherein a practitioner was doing a one-legged...
:D Not so much in this day and age. Bet there were a few bandits with 'em sticking in their backs running off into the sunset in the 'Old Days', though.
:) Just so everyone knows, the blade point configured in post picture above was outlawed by the Geneva Convention back around WW1 due to the fact that bayonet wounds from tri or quad points made...
:) Thanks for posting the picture, T.D.O. The grip makes perfect sense for using a throwing dart like that. There are many different types of darts, that one would be perfect for short range...

Yes, LOL, a lot like Yang Taiji looks like a slow dance sequence exercise for old-people type NeiGong. Whenever I see a video of multiple students performing the SLT set, all I can think of is:...
* Remember that SLT techniques are usually hidden from the casual observer as was the practice of all kung fu Masters and form origination during turbulent times of secrecy. Not to mention it was...
:) Having asked my instructor about bong and tan sau while learning the SLT set, the answer was " for blocking high and blocking low incoming strikes. (wox on wox off muscle memory)I asked why the...
:) The Sifu in the video appears to have a substantial background in Shaolin Qigong and Buddhist temple affiliation in Vietnam. The signature content of the SLT form he is demonstrating is very much...

:) Just received my copy (KFM entry sweepstakes win) of the publication : The Martial Arts of Vietnam by Sifu Augustus John Roe. This paperback-bound edition is an overview of the history and styles...
:) yes it is. You can call me Mr. 20000 Post Dusty Road Guy.

:) No, not well traveled at all. All Wing Chun lineages are a combination of the southern Crane and Southern Snake styles. Yip Man's Wing Chun after he left the Mainland became the most streamlined,...
:) Wow! Looks like the ultimate new Shaolin movie release to see.
:) I only get hit with insomnia about once a month, at most. If I sleep too much, I will wake up with a headache. So... when I do have a problem falling asleep I will ask myself if I've had ample...
:) You are correct about the two Masters and their martial art form, T.D.O. The video opens with the Master in the blue robe demonstrating Wing Chun Dummy, after that, the other style shown...
:) Thanks once again for the clarification and insight into these traditionally preserved styles of WingChun, 5mman. The information you put forth is not to be obtained so easily by casual research...

:) Funny to see that another forum is looking at the same material (Lo Kwai) concerning a lineage offshoot that migrated to Taiwan to escape the Chi-Coms. The information (post#56) handed down from...
