Before you hold Alan Orr up as an example I would take a good look at his fight footage and see how much recognisable wing chun is in there. And don't start saying its all in the principles, to claim...
Ok what I mean is, and has been said on here, Wing chun is a fighting art that fails to fight in most cases. What is going to happen to an art that attracts and relies on to propagate practioners...
Problem I see with this is the measure is out there in public now in the form of limited rules competitions, not the "it was effective 50 years ago because I was told it was". The sad lack of...
UltimateWingChun
Excellent thread, if there was a club with your attitude near me I would still be in Wing Chun, all the clubs near me are the same, forms, no real sparring, delusional about...
Its a joke, they are yukking it up over there
Why ? Mark teaches wing chun, and from studying a different line and historical record its not the best for the cage. If Marks wing chun was a decisive factor, great but I have seen his class in the...
Mark
I see Jody already had MMA experience, what parts of what you teach did he add to expand his abilities ? Are you going to be teaching kung fu/MMA style ?
Thanks

Well from a lurker and rare poster I think theres a handfull of posters that keep this site afloat and it seems to be fairly static at the moment, they go and so does most of the intelligent talk and...
Ok, I skimmed this a little after the *****ing started, BUT
Can I ask, who started Kung Fu because they thought it was the most effective method of fighting ? And of those, who thought that based...
Hmmm, For me he did a few too many parlor tricks and silly applications to get real credibility, fun to watch though !
Exactly ! Go to a boxing gym, they probably train pretty much the same, BJJ same thing, I would wager all effective styles do, its called training how you fight, TMA seems to have lost that...
When did the training method become disconnected from the style ? Surely a mistake or the result of a lack of realistic sparring ?
Is that really the case ? Of the limited MMA I have seen (Cage Rage, early UFC, some Pride) the few TMA guys seem to be unable to land effective strikes (discounting the ground work), does that not...
I have seen alot of these kinds of debate, from the TMA side to the MMA side, I wonder where TMA seems to fail ? Is it only ground work ? Are there any advantages to TMA specific strikes or delivery...
Wu Shu Kwan
I have been to some of their classes before, its a good workout, very karate like and they think there chinese for some reason. They fight more like kickboxers than anything but they...
Do you think you should have compulsory training to own a firearm ?
I mean how comfortable are you with the idea someone with no training could pull a gun and started shooting at a criminal not...
Sorry for the thread necromancy but thought I would add in the UK Picture here. If I go check out a local mma school I generally see lots of equipment, hard training and people in good shape, local...
Hi
I am reading through this thread for the interest alone not to comment and I wondered if someone could verfiy some things
Gm Sin stopped training full time with GM Ie at 18 as a grandmaster...
Hi
I tried my first mma class this week and got to say I was dissapointed
The instructors were late
There were only 3 of us, all beginnners, we were asked if we had any ground experience we...

Hi All
I am fairly new to Southern mantis, well 6 months or so in, and have some concerns about the iron shirt training I am doing. We don't do it every lesson so its maybe once every couple of...
Hi all
I am thinking of starting in this for the exercise and kicking mainly, it calls itself chinese kick boxing but from web site pics they wear GI's ? Anyone know if its any good or another tae...
I ordered a set of butterfly knives off them, they arrived after about 4 days, no problems at all !
Sayoc Kali
Don't judge the kali from the 3 of 9 DVD, thats the first most basic thing you learn to show ways of clearing the defending arm and angles of attack, as for unarmed theres Sayoc Silak...
