Dale, nice to hear from you again.

Cerebus, Dale is just a no-nonsense guy who is sick of Lacy and the damage he attempts to do to Bak Fu Pai.

If you want another opinion, I will tell you...

The 5 elders is a term coined by Jim Lacy, noted fraud. But there is a history told of 5 monks/nuns who escaped the destruction of Shaolin temple in the 1600's.

GM Doo Wai is the 6th generation...

Jack:

Don't drink your External Dit Da Jow. However, there are Internal Dit Da Jow's. Those can be drunk.

Which was the HILARIOUS quote I missed. I must have misplaced my sense of humor.

I am a fan. Not afraid to admit it.

Why all the anger for a poor single mother who made it and is now giving back.

Sorry about the typo on my darwinian theory. Brain think but finger no type.

Former Whatever-you-were;)

Enjoy the water, but I'm with RD for once. Herbs are a big part of my training. Ma...

The AMA is very threatened by Chinese Herbology and has a lot of money. Same with the pharmaceutical industry.

As Royal Dragon stated, the problem isn't the Ma Huang, it is the way it is used...

;)

Exactly Becca, remove the space and make the N lower case.

We can call ourselves whatever we like, but it will not define us.

Only our actions truly define us and even then, they only define us...

Lacy has claimed to be the 7th generation Grandmaster while the 6th generation Grandmaster was still alive and active. When he was called on it, he changed the name of the system, but he continued...

Lacy is considered a fraud by the Grandmaster he claims to have learned from. While that is only one opinion, it doesn't bode well when your claim to fame denies your abilities.

In my opinion, I doubt that this is authentic White Tiger Tai Ch'i based on where they claim to get it from. I have heard of it, but never seen it. From what I have read, many people believe that...

Other than Ng Mui being one of the five survivors of the destruction of the Shaolin temple in the mid 17th century, I don't have any more info I can share with you. Of course, I preface this with...

I would prefer to trace my lineage to Bak Mei, the originator of the system. I do not study Bak Mei, but lineage is very important in my opinion.

I wouldn't trust anything that comes from IronPalm.com about Bak Fu Pai. James Lacey is not recognized by GM Doo Wai at all. If you want info on what Bak Fu Pai claims, try searching on google for...

I haven't found better. Last round of purchases by students at my school don't seem to be as good as the pair I bought last year. I wonder if they are starting to cut corners.

Regardless, I am...

Anyone else have an opinion on what to look for in a school. I believe you need to find out who can get you where you want to be. The only thing that will tell you if a school is right for you is...

The man is a joke. In my opinion, he is a discredit to anyone he claims to have learned from.

He claims to have learned from some pretty amazing instructors, but with the way he looks, I think he...

I'd say go with your gut. Maybe you will change your mind when you have seen other schools.

I find it strange that a promotion/test was open to the public. That's just my opinion.

Infinet:

Great post. It is amazing how few schools are even willing to answer questions these days. There are a few things that were mentioned that I don't think are very important or disagree...

Agreed, Southern California is full of Martial Arts school. I highly recommend you ask lots of questions of each of the schools that interest you.

You might want to try an online Yellow Page...

It is a Southern Internal art called BakFuPai. Lineage is Doo family from Fong Doe Duk of Shaolin temple in mid 1600's.

I have been training there for 6 years and love it. We have classes all...

I can't help you with Hawaii, but maybe California. My school is in San Diego, but it is right outside of MCAS Miramar. This is about 40 miles south of Pendelton. Let me know if you want info.

Sorry, I thought I screwed up and didn't post this, so I restarted a second one.

Nothing like re-hashing old topics. Still I prefer to read the most up to date thoughts. If you don't want to...

Thanks for the replies. This is the information I was looking for.

To reply to the counter questions, I first off attempt to avoid being taken down. Movement helps. I don't want to get into the...
