did not have a job in the military; only invited over the years to train with various units both in China and Taiwan.
Discussing first hand experience here, military and civilian sanda are trained differently and emphasizes different things. Also depends on what unit you are attached to. Basic techniques are however...
taught to the gung an (public security) and other police units. They are taken from traditional martial arts but arranged as a course for officer training.
I guess I wasn't clear. The shaft end of the ge was planted in the ground and then the foot was placed on top of it to keep it from lifting up - using the body weight as a counter force; not as I...
The radical is 'foot'. Originally the character related to marching, running or walking on guard duty - therefore the verb to 'run' and only later changed to 'stop'.
Some have made the argument...
The term wushu originally meant military art and is made up up two parts. One part is the character for ge (halbred) and the other is to stop. (In oracle bone text this part and corresponding...
It looks like an interesting book but the illustration of the axe head he refers to as 'ge' in the sample chapter is actually a 'yue'. The ge is quite different in shape but both are found...
Since you know so much about Chinese history and literature, I will answer on equal ground:
從你的天馬行空, 扭曲事實, 胡扯的人身攻擊, 我由最初的憤怒到現在明白你其實很可憐。你心中有很多妒忌怨恨而不自知。你很需要幫助。我很同情你。祝你好運。
I thought BL studied philosophy too but was corrected a little while ago.
BL had a drama major (see U of Washington's "100 Alumni of the Century") at 'U Dub" not philosophy and he is listed as...

So what IS the draughtsman's right angle...
since you obviously can't read and quote out of context.
Special Recognition from the Government of the Republic of China - not as you quoted People's Republic of China. So your whole rant about...
"Hey David
Thanks for the warm welcome.
I thought I would have more time since I retired but between the academic lecturing and expert witness work, I seem to be more busy than before. It's nice...
Not on 3 other forums
You mentioned I have posted on 3 other forums with xue sheng? Not true. I did comment on one other forum though.
Also you keep referring to Huang's article. It was, if I recall the foreward he...
On the page that I am leaning forward, I am the one throwing the punch and the other fellow has turned his body - which has caused me to lurch forward as the punch is redirected. This was done at...
The reference to Da Mo in the book is a direct translation of Huang Bo Nien's comment - not my interpretation or comment. Specifically it says "It is rumored that Yueh Fei's xingyi fist book (a...
The quote William 123 is referring to was written by Huang and translated - not a comment of mine (Dennis Rovere).
Your comment to William 123 re: citing also makes no sense - citation is not...
for your kind comments about my book and recommendations. I seem to be traveling more often these days so perhaps we will have an opportunity to meet in the future.

Sun Yongtian and Deng Fuming - both 3rd generation Sun students? There is probably an answer somewhere there. The long time students know who the seniors are. (Even Ms. Sun knew who her dad's...

This Video material is not what I was shown from the Wu Jing or am referring to in my article. While the militayr bodyguards do teach forms with the knife (and both forward and...
Both my teachers trained soldiers how to fight and also went "live" against the Japanese and Communists in the 1930's & 40's and you've done ???
Re: secret fighting skills
Since several people posted while I was writing my first response, let me continue.
The series title 'secret fighting skills' was originally conceived as a tongue-in-cheek comment on what is...
