Which begs the question, is it the style that is dead or it's practitioners. I'm saying the latter.

Very true, my old boxing coach was great at smacking you upside the head any time you dropped your guard.:)

I think the best way to describe HB work also is the spar the bag as you would an...

So long as an art is still being studied and trained it will never be completely dead, but the popularity and cult status that Kung Fu had in the 1970's will never return, simply because times change...

One of the great advantages of the Thai bag is that it bends nice with thrusting or power kicks, and as I said, that movement can help with timing and judging distance. One of the important aspects...

Good speed to see the movements and set up, as you can see rooting, hand movement, and body transition to set up throws. I think the important thing to look at is what John said about intent. If you...

LMAO, we wouldn't want the Sifu to be embarassed by being a fat, out of shape slob, they still have the power to tell you everything you did wrong!!:D

Thanks again. That's definitely my goal. For example, I tend to step in too tight for sidekicks, so this is a good way for me to fix that problem.



Working Side Thrust Kicks on the heavy bag...

Rank the order that you feel these training methods are of importance to the development of a person's Kung Fu training. I omitted sparring/grappling because "most" would agree this is most...

Good sets!!

I believe shadow boxing is a great form of practice and usually work in at least two to three rounds into my circuit routine that I do, although I generally always freestyle my...

I think this is one of the main reasons for so much dissension in TCMA, there are too many "what ifs" and not enough "this is". However, if a seasoned martial artist can find a different application...

This is very true. Often times when doing San Shou training I notice other people and myself included looking for that throw, which often leads to telegraphing it. One of my favorites is hip throw...

Been a while since I have been here, but after reading through most of the posts, I can come up with only one conclusion:

The donkey kick I was referring to is a low kick where you chamber, than using the heel you throw inverted towards the shin, can be used offensively for that or to stop a kick. Bruce Lee made it...

So what your saying is that the person who does not train hard, spar hard for multiple rounds, strength train, ect. it going to be better equipped to take a hit, strike first, and strike most...

Cool story, Bro!!:p I'll stick with what I know works, thanks for caring.;)

I don't think anyone with street fighting or ring fighting experience thinks that a street fight is going to go on length wise like a prize fight does, but your body holds up to the amount of...

Although I generally hate vs. threads, there are some valid points made here. I look at it from the perspective of this, all styles bring something to the table of value, and while I certainly would...

I heard boxing described once as the simple but complex fighting system. It is simple in that it works strictly punching, with the jab, cross, hook, and uppercut as the primary weapons being trained....

Recently I bought a Wrecking Ball/Body Snatcher for my gym. I used this quite a bit when training at another MMA gym and love the new addition. It is great for working hooks, uppercuts, pretty much...

Static stance training I have found to be beneficial for leg conditioning and for strength in transitions, which is what is most important in training stances. There may not be strength specific...

The internetz truly is a strange place at times. It's kind of like the last stand for all the butthurt dweebs who wish they were something more than they actually are. I guess that is the reason...
