2- if the person who is teaching you knows...
I loved that cartoon , I am disappointed they took it off the air, rare cartoon that an adult could appreciate but wasnt a comedy or silly. although i like the simpsons but that another story.

My point wasnt that slap boxing is a "hood thing", my point was that alot of kids brought thier own rhythm and ways of movement or style to slap boxing just like they do to basketball or dancing for...
My point was that if you emulate a rythmic based fighting style but dont have the rythmic base that it is used with it you will be lacking.
A good example is an article somebody posted on silat and...
I believe people misconstrue the centerline aspect of wing chun.

Compared to some places brooklyn is big, but in reality there are only some sections that are a little out of the way,
To someone not from certain areas it may sound "impressive" but growing up ...
Tape yourself next time you practice or spar, and watch yourself. Is your style of fighting rythmic? Is the style that you are learning rythmic? Sometimes the rythms are very complex.
I have grown up in brooklyn, and still live here outside of martial arts forumsand internet I have neverheard of jailhouse rock as a style per se.Which doenst mean it doenst exist.

1- wing chun is connected with southern praying mantis as far as them both being close range arts from the same general area of china, and sharing some other similiarites, I dont THINK there is any...
UFC rules dont forbid a no-touch chi blast so it could happen in our lifetime.:eek:
Bottom line alot ( maybe most) kung fu people dont train for full contact matches

Lets hope the bullshido guys dont see this , they have enough ammo as it is.
Very funny though.
Check out every wing chun school you can, compare them.
Also check out a couple of jujitsu(not bjj) or karate schools.
Then think about not just how they train but how they move.
Good martial...
Well I dont think anybody sells it, you would have to build it or get it built.
Best bet see if any wing chun schools close to you have one , take a look and go from there.
Its not a dummy per se, and much easier to build by far than a wooden man.Your sifu should know of it or be able to put together something along the correct lines.
