tainan,

i have an unfounded theory about these methods. i believe that learning these methods requires not only the right teachings and the right teacher, but also the right place. while...

Thanks for the welcome for all who have.

YuShan, yushan, yushan. I told you long ago that MC taught me apps, it is funny how anything positive, or outside your idea of what does and does not go...

hi donkwoon.

what form are you learning now?

i assume that you are asking what the indian style posture can be used for???
They say that you train the forms and they just come out as you need...

Hua Lin,

I'm confused! Perhaps we're thinking of dfferent things.

18 Elders,

I agree with the purpose of an in-fighting stance is to remain tight-un exposed, but what about it's use from a...

Oso,

What you describe is precisely what Bruce Lee described in Tao of Jeet kune do. I really think this part of his philosophy was inspired by the above mentioned mantis stance oops, posture....

18 elders,

I just saw your post. Yes mantis is in tight, so can the mainland version, in your mind, have a place-perhaps before/or for closing the distance? Wing chung is a great style but it's...

Sayloc,

By "bio" are you speaking in reference to the poster's bio, or to their MA history? Because if you're talking about the poster's bio, I am going a step further and suggesting that one...

Sayloc,

Since you need interpretation, I am telling Yu Shan that HE is an authority, and much like you, though I didn't specify the route to take (as you did by specifying san shou), that...

Yu Shan,

One thing that I don't understand, well, I do, but am wondering if you do. First aren't "you" an authority. I believe that you are. And if you are, can't you question the validity of...

Shang Wu,

Yes I agree just about any stance can be swept. In my opinion the Pong Lai stance is too tight, in most instances I think it is more practical than the one I was taught, but I think the...

Actually, and I hate to say this among die hard traditionalists, but Bruce Lee got it right, probably from mantis, I don't know.

Shang Wu,

Well I meant that the low stance are better used to train the legs, but don't seem applicable in a fighting situation. Probably not so good for the knees either! Actually, I like a happy...

oso,

Design work? I used to teach wl, but no design work.
You sure he's allowed to cllaborate with you? lol

Yes the lion is good- the real thing, but apparently there's much, much more.

Sayloc,

Yes, you must be reading it wrong as I said a friend of mine, not me, spent time in SanFrancisco, by that I mean more than watching. In any case, my understanding is that it is not...

sayloc,

negative in what way? Yu shan and I share a similar background, a friend of mine has spent some time in Sanfrancisco and has found what we know as lacking. Thought I'd let him know as more...

Hua lin,

Master shr, has the same set(probably both). He worked on it with me years ago when I was visiting my brother in law. He was showing me the two person set. The last run had some minor...

yu shan,

I have heard that what we know as lion dancing is rather weak, or not what it should be. Something to keep in mind during your quest for the truth.

since we're on the topic, sort of, does anyone remember the dude that advertised in IKF that knew- everything, the strange bald dude with the "telly" awards? LOLOLOL....

yu shan/18 elders,

I am confused. If all traditional mantis (or I should say mantis that does not have the influence of other styles) are taught as two-person sets, then how can there be any...

hua lin
I hate to type, I type you a pm and your box is full , I'm in ageement in any case

That kick can be used against a straight knee, and as sayloc said as a distraction. But i feel it's best...

sayloc
np. In any case in reference to hua lins response above, I do not feel that particular technique is designed for that attack...maybe my misinterpretation?
hualin
keep this thread going as I...

sayloc,
I undertsand the technique perfectly, I should have said that it wouldn't work because there would be no power... after you break the hold, but not while your in it.

hua lin,
I think...

sayloc,

I am fairly familiar with the form, but what I want to know is how you would kick someone while in a bear hug.

sayloc
how do you kick someone that close to you?

hua lin
I am surprised that no one has mentioned stomping. (the instep/toes, immediately- before a lift or other app. by the opponent) which...

all these skills are great. but i'd really like to witness someone who can exhale for an hour- impressive!
