I don't like to mention names of people but I'd have to say your guess is on target. :)



I'll try to check those vids out. Thanks for the info.

I believe weight training is more detrimental than beneficial. The human body is supposed to move as a whole. One of the goals of martial arts is to teach you how to use your body as a single unit...

Here's the topic boyles and ghouls:

'Regular' weight lifting builds defined muscles and measureable strength. For example I used to be able to bench around 200 pounds. I know this strength...

Xing Yi and Ba Gua movements realign your skeleton and relax the muscles. This is one of the most instrumental ways to rehabilitate sports related injuries. I do Ba Gua and Xing Yi chi gung...

If you don't use footwork when you chi sau there's no way to train one of wing chun's most important aspects: aggresiveness(spelling?). After all isn't that how Yim Wing Chun defeated the monks. ...

I had a friend in college who lived in Hong Kong his whole life. He studied in Ip Chun's school. Was his wing chun good? Sort of. What I mean is that he knew some techniques but whenever I chi...

No need to get snippy. As previously stated I was sitting around watching others do their thing as well. We must've walked right by each other!

I was at the park until 12:30. I'm not sure if anyone showed up since I had no idea what you all looked like. So I sat around watching a kung fu class being taught.

Maybe next time

Allow me to ammend my origional post. I still stick by my idea of seeing someone at Tom Bisio's clinic.

Acupuncture is just ONE of the many treatments at his clinic. He specializes in sports...

Please don't listen to such foolish advice. DO NOT SEE A SURGEON! They are so drastic that they move right to surgery. I have never seen someone recover from knee surgery.

Thanks for all the replies to my subject. You wouldn't believe how many people sent me private messages! Most didn't want to talk about this in public. We're setting the date for either this...

I'm located in New York. How did I forget the location? I figure we can meet in the city somewhere. I've been in New York my whole life so I guessed I assumed everyone would know what "the city"...

July 22, 29. Or August 5th. Those are all Sundays.

I realize it's probably going to be hot out that day but hey...that's why it's called kung fu.

Also remember to leave your phoenix fists...

Hi all. I'm organizing a hangout with southern kung fu shorthand players. What I mean by organzing is that we're all just going to meet up, in the city I guess, talk and chi...

jules,

It's easier for me to hit you in the boobs than it is for you to hit me in the balls. I'm not talking about sparring with a gigantic helmet and gloves. I don't believe in that kind of...

neilhytholt, boulderdawg: You guys are taking this waaaay too far. Maybe I'm to blame for starting it but you guys need to get over being hurt by your ex-girlfriends.

Here's the truth, buddies.

MOST of the time women don't get raped by "some hell bent dude who attacks them in the back seat of their car." Most rapes are perpetrated by someone the woman knows...

I purposely put a loaded title up so that people would take notice.

Here's what I really mean.

I used to believe that men and women could both become profficient in the martial arts. MAybe I...

Here's an analogy to sorta help out.

There's no way to tell if a sifu's techniques work unless you attack him. You have to trust that his techniques are based off of his personal combat experience. Will they work for you? Nope. YOu...

Here's more info on the situation.

I only get about 4 o 5 hours of sleep every night. I fall asleep on the road on the way home from work almost every day. That's why I asked the question. I...

A successful sifu is someone who can think of techniques after only seeing one. He shows them on the fly and they're radically different from the others...but the same.

I was doing chi gung last night. I get up at 5:30am every weekday. I usually go to sleep at 12am...or later. I know. It sucks. Tell me about it. Chi gung usually gets done at 11pm.

Anywho,...

I think a successful Sifu depends on the individual student. If a student is unhappy and leaves then it could be said that the sifu wasn't good for that student. The same is also true for the...
