Philbert,
Hey dude, haven't posted with you in a while, how you doing bro? How is the training going? You are at Steve's school right?
Cotrell's school should be good, based on what I have heard.
I train at the Gompa with Dr. Painter, and the skills you will learn there are top notch, street useful, and it's the real stuff. Be...
All this talk of sheep. Hmmm, sounds like both sides have their sheep. Some of you here are making ASSUMPTIONS that you can't prove whatsoever, that if somone voted Republican, they are a sheep,...
Maybe this sounds a little 'out there', but I think working a movement slowly with a willing partner works wonders for being able to 'feel' the essence of movements, and then making that feeling a...
You guys gotta give Roy some credit. He DID throw punches, and landed some very solid hooks to Johnson's jaw more than once. He also landed a lot of good body shots. The deal here, was that Glen...
Jones got older, and Johnson did exactly what a fighter needed to, to beat Roy. Make no mistake, Roy was fast like a cat, and took plenty of punches to the head and face, before the end came.

This seem very slight to me when I watch him. This is also a hard topic to discuss. The strike when fighting, lands on the target BEFORE the front foot touches down, and then...
Hau Tien - Thanks! That fixed it no problem.
Apostol - Brave soul you are. Hey a few thoughts here. First, thanks for showing us your fists.
A little feedback on your footwork. You may...
Apostol - For some reason, your avi file downloads, but I have no video? I tried it several times. I am using Microsoft Media Player to play it, but I am getting nothing.
So, I don't see any...
Even books that have applications in them, have a real hard time explaining or illistrationg how the applicaiton energy really is applied. You see a position, but you are not quite sure exactly how...
You really gonna post yourself doing the fists? Not a bad idea. I'll bet you'll get plenty of good feedback. One thing a quick video can do, is show some obvious flaws or variances in technique...
In his Pao, his shoulders stay square to the target. Not sure why anyone would do that on purpose. I guess his only power is coming from the step.
However did everbody see the warning just...
You should be able to use this in all your movements now. You have the feeling of fullness, now when you do your applications, make sure you keep that full feeling yet relaxed.
The movement SPJ...
Hey Ap - similar to yours, another good one, one of my favorites for new guys, and always a good simple one.
Instead of San Ti, stand like San Ti, without the hands up. Partner places his palm...
Ok Ap - I have one here you should try and like a lot. It is boring, but it will teach you a lot about alignment and power. I don't think it is boring btw, it is just not a lot of moving.
The...
Start by thinking on your own, what are some attributes of those elements. This is abstract, but it is a beginning into the thinking by way of the elements.
Describe the different aspect or...
I understand your point well.
Let me restate in another way. Any MA techinque should improve any untrained fighter. Of course that doesn't mean the next guy you go up against will not be a...
Rock,
We have done something very similar. Same setup. Tiny step, and sink the fist inside the person while simultaneously downrooting. This can take their root and easily can put them on the...
No flame needed Count. However a nice little discussion is in order. Hehe.
So, what you say makes perfect sence physics wise. My question would be then, why form the Phoenix Eye at all using...
Blackmantis,
Stepping is good, but better take your Sifu's advice on HOW to step. 'Punching' that front foot into the ground may be a style variation and may only apply to Beng in some cases. I...
Heck yes, and absolutely MA training will make a huge difference. Have you guys ever seen untrained fighters flailing like girls, with these wide weak punches? Hey maybe the guy you fight can throw...
I would agree that standing practice is very important, and the visualizations of contraction and expansions at the right times going pretty slow at first. I do not think, although I am no expert,...
Yep, soft targets only, and not really any conditioning, although I will push and hit my palm against it every so ofter during they day, to make sure I keep it tight enough not to jam it. It felt...
Palmer you have good advice here.
I gotta say, what I thought Xingyi was, and was it really is, were VERY different at first. And this is exactly why a good teacher is needed.
If your...
Hey Keemster, what do you mean you got in trouble? This might be as interesting as the match...I have a 15 yr. old... :D
And no, I wouldn't let them host a match where my insurance could take...
