Don't get me wrong, I agree a lifetime of mastery.

Let me make this perfectly clear about my previous post. I have nothing but the highest respect for my former instructor, it was the organization's policy concerning promotions and seminars that was...

I only had a brief introduction to Wing Chun, less than a month. Two things that stood out to me that along with other factors going on in my life caused me to stop and take a step back to evaluate...

I wrote this a few years back on this forum but I will re-post my thoughts here. I have not changed my mind much since I last posted this except I now maybe have a bit more respect for his acting...

In no particular order, these are the schools I would recommend or at least have some knowledge about in the Dallas area.

Authenic Kung Fu Dallas
Authentic Kung Fu has classes in Wing Chun, Tai...

HUH?

The largest affiliation in this country, and for that matter in the world, is the WTF.

I too was in the ITF for a couple of years. ITF TKD is unique in that it utilizes what is called the...

I was alive when Bruce Lee was alive, unlike many of those who today have made him into some sort of demigod. Plain simple truth of the matter as I see it, Bruce Lee was a very talented athlete, not...

From someone who knows very little about either system, just curious as to how the two systems compare to one another?

For instance if a person was wanting to study one of these arts and that...

Those tight fitting dresses and skirts don't help much either! :D

On a more serious note, I think I have found what I was looking for at a Kohl's dept. store. Thanks for all the replies.

Just curious, what type of shoe everyone is wearing to class and what would you recommend for someone just starting out in Wing Chun?

If I remember right, after visiting 3 different Kung-Fu...

I have recently been visiting some of the CMA schools in my are (Dallas). On another forum I was asked if I knew what I was looking for, and I had to admit that I was really unsure, but did want to...

Nope, this Sifu-Philip Ng.


Houston is way too far away to drive to. I would have to start out at 1-2:00 in the afternoon which is just out of the question, plus it takes almost an hour just...

My style of choice?

Southern Praying Mantis if it were available in my area, but alas it is not. I am in Dallas, actually in Plano. Grandmaster Henry Poo Yee teaches it in Houston, but that is...

You know at first I thought we were dealing with someone whose real name is Jethro Bodine who lived with his really rich uncle Jed, his granny and a cousin named Ellie Mae in Beverly Hills but they...

Back in the early 1990s when I was in ITF Taekwon-Do, we payed at least that much for test fees at the lower levels and it just went up from there. If I remember right, a Black Belt test fee was a...

OK Cliff I now get it, your Grandmaster Andy is really your buddy from the bar where everyone knows your name! LOL!

When he finally signs on to the forum, I will greet him with the salutation,...

I did not post the URL, because I was not sure if posting a link to another MA forum was allowed. Having just said that, it is Southern Fist Online Kung Fu Community .

I really like the Southern Fist Online Kung Fu Community Forums.

So just to see just how much you really know, exactly what is "Gung Fu" and how does it differ from "Kung Fu?"

And please do not say the Gung Fu derives from Judo! :rolleyes:

You know, I think I could easily beat Andy (Judo Nunchuka Grandmaster) because I have read lots of Bruce Tegner's books and have seen several martial arts movies, plus I actually have had for reals...

Hey Jethro, ur uh excuse me, I mean Cliff Claven (see my explanation of this on the main forum), I think you may have smoked too much of something other than what they sell in retail stores, if you...

Be careful not to toy with Mega_Fist too much. His real life name is Jethro and he has this really rich uncle named Jed that he lives with along with his Granny and his cousin Ellie Mae. Mega_Fist...

Wow Jethro, I guess that is a Chinese word that came from Japanese just like Wing Chun came from Judo, huh? LOL!!

But then I was never smart enough to be a double-knot spy, a brain surgeon, AND...

And what point would that be Jethro?



Oh my goodness, I cannot believe I just replied to this thread, I swear to all of you, I am not a Sado-Masochist! Well not usually anyway. :rolleyes:

Thanks to Edmund and Finny for the clarifications and corrections to anything I may have posted. I was just trying to find anything on the Internet that would give an accurate history of Judo as...
