How does iron palm fit into the liu he tang land system? The practioners here mentioned that power comes from the dantien, so does iron give you that little extra topping or is it a major part of the...
I asked my teacher today. He said that black tiger inspired the creation of the black tiger forms in mantis. Well, I hope you find what you're looking for.
I recently learned a black tiger form (freaking long) and I also learned black tiger cross from raymond ly(hk 7 star). In my beginner's perspective, they are unrelated from stances to striking...
The clip of Master Shao looks like standing pole, the one the more senior students are learning. That guy is fast!
Jake, I don't know much about it unfortunately. It is not really my focus. I have done some basics and some drills though. I have also seen my teacher do it and some of the more senior members in the...
My teacher teaches Wen Jenming Kaoshou fanzi quan. It's one of his favorite styles. I have read that there are numerous branches even to for this obscure style, each generating power differently....
It's fine to play Devil's advocate but maybe you should have chosen better examples. I'm pretty sure Cheng ting hua was shot to death. (Ba gua does not make you invincible.)
I also thought Dong...
WOW! Sorry, I can't say that I understand much of what is being said but I had to mention that this is the most eloquent that I have ever seen Bai He post. It was beautiful...(not making any comments...
Oh I guess it is sword then. I am currently learning a wudang sword set. As I said in that infamous thread my teacher says that wudang contains many movements that are standard to sword sets but...

thanks
Doug, you brought it, cool. I'm having some fun. But other people probably are not. So I'll just hit my favorite points.
If by second hand you mean the video, then everyone makes assumptions from...
Himura-san, sorry man, I don't have any clips or pictures but I will post something on topic which I should have done in the first place. If it has already not been suggested then you could check out...
Now we come to your response to me.
"Please refer to my previous three-part post about posting video clips. I make it quite clear why I would not do this. If you want to see me that badly, Paul,...
On the whole, your next responses to Maoshan are acceptable, but then you come out with this "Just explain your perspective to the best of your typing ability for an online forum." I could of course...
Alright Doug, where should I start? Since I have nothing better to do and you asked so kindly I will try to stay on topic or at least give my own account of what happened. It was an exhaustive search...
Doug, while your posts are very eloquent it only seems reasonable that one would ask of you what you have asked of them. That is, posting clips of yourself. Also, I find it interesting that someone...
"Lu Ji Jian’s Double Broadswords which weigh 20p apiece, master Ma’s 100 pound Kwan Dao."
Hey Maoshan, who are these two gentlemen? Can you give a little background? (I like biographies of past...

Hey Carlos is that you? It must be someone from the Guan right? The content of your posts seem very familiar... and it says you're from chicago and I looked at your profile - it all...

I've never practiced Northern Wu but I was under the impression that one of the big names in that branch is Wang Peishing. Someone posted a clip of him on one of the major forums doing tai chi and he...
