villain, kudos on your response... :)

But sadly, Ting Shifu himself has perform parlor tricks in the past; for example, the increasing the length of one's arm which he performed in 1991 in San Fran. :(

Frank, there is no words to describe this- just chuckling away here; I gather this is for real? If so, I gather that no one was really trying to inflict any bodily harm. :D

Indeed bawang, but that came later down the road...

It is hard to define what happened to CMA fighting prowess in first decades of 20’s century; it is it possible that Jingwu’s view point of wushu as a recreational activity affected the pugilistic...

From an internal standpoint his ging is bit on the artificial side; he is simply jerking the arms whereas the ging should be coming from opening and closing of the body, i.e., spit and swallow.

This doesn't mean that a Hung practitioner will be choppy in his movement.

Indeed, not, but it will be nice to have at least one set that is fluid from start to end. :(

If I may say Ron, Hendrik has shown that he isn’t able to be open with others on this forum; for example, by not being considerate of other who don’t read Chinese ideograms is a big no-no, especially...

We should take into account within the pugilistic world there have been numerous trends; for example, boxing has been king in the North America for over a hundred years; however, it always have been...

Kudos, on your promotion; I had the pleasure of meeting your shigong years ago…

Ah, after seeing your photo we had the pleasure of meeting in PA ten years ago... ;)

Such style as, huhng ga kyuhn/hongjiaquan (洪家拳) is obvious a synthesize style, but sadly isn’t as fluid as CLF.

For example, tiger crane double shape fist or fu hohk seung yihng...

I truly admire Choy Leih Faht/Cai Li Fo (蔡李佛), because it is one of the few disciplines that have the uncanny ability to synthesize other styles/influences so coherent that the finial product has no...

Sadly few Chinese stylists realize that CMA is tactical fighting; I have been stating this for years. It seems we only see competitive fighting as viable mean. :(

Doug, as sport yes, but on a commercial/ recreational sense not really; how many commercial/recreational boxing gym are out there? The only chain I’m aware is LABoxing.

We should take into...

TMA or classical martial arts isn’t dead at all, but flourishing underground the way it should be. Indeed, MMA is the rage as the ninja crazy was twenty years ago. We are witnessing another trend.

I’m glad to see these responses, not everyone is glamour by the sparkle, but look at the substances.

Rik, we weren’t worthy of a response, because we are huhng men.:D

Frank, the old guard was like that...

Grasshopper, I'm curious what is your objective with this research; to write a book or do you think knowing this will improve your personal skills?:confused:

It does Rik, because you served your time on the floor too in the old days... :)

Hendrik, honestly don’t be a little fudger now; if you have something to share make it accessible to other; aren’t you able to do so, because I can.

Red-crowned crane’s immortal teacher...

Hendrik, indeed, translate, because I can do the same:

查拳含有静止耗时的桩功练习，静力素质通过这样的锻炼， [练习筋骨皮，坚固外形，也能有效地提高肌肉的张力与神经 [约机能水平。腿部支撑人身体的重量，下肢肌肉占人体的 增加下肢的力量是提高技术水平的重要手段。在套路中，：同姿势的静止动作和平衡动作，需要在一定的时间内控制...

Here are two example of horse footstep which is four point horse and the half horse:

Hendrik, sadly, there is no shifu/exponent on YouTube that does to my knowledge. However, I personally work on baihejin (白鶴精) patterns and actually one of my students has worked on this particular...

Soulfist, didn’t I say oral history/myth; I thought I did. Meaning that it is open to interpretation, right?

Indeed, hong'huhng uses different jin/ging精; sadly, not all exponents/shifu are aware...
