LOL here I was about to give you some excellent positive feedback about how much you think like me....in your best interest I will refrain. :P
yeah..that was my point too.
To clarify my point, would it make you any less of a teacher in the eyes of "tradition"?
Would you/Should you get the same respect if you taught this for a couple...
Mine was when my teacher had just moved here from Hong Kong. Me, him and his son were teaching in our temporary home at the Gymnastics club. One of the upper level students had just made some wooden...
OK great inputs on this issue. Here's a Hypothetical for everyone.
I think most of us are in agreement that in order to compete for market share, etc. with TKD, etc. that Kung Fu has to change...
As many of you know, I have trained in and taught both modern wushu and traditional kung fu. My background in traditional kung fu was very very traditional as my teacher was in his 70's when he...
Hi Mike,
Yeah I have the line drawings as well. The foot is clearly grabbed in each of the postures where there is that kick. Later on in the same book is Sa Pa Sao. At the point where there is...
EVERYTHING Soros stands for furthers the nanny state agenda. Look at who he donates to, the causes he supports.
yeah...he makes a point though of making it an obvious grab in Dau Gong (yes I've seen as many different spellings for this as I have variations of doing the form), while later in the book there is...
I've seen as many different spellings on this as I have variations of this form.
Anyway, I just got a pile of Wong Hun Fun's books in and noticed that in this form, every kick he does, he grabs...
John Funk's videos aren't bad, but I'd also recommend getting a hold of some of Wong Hun Fun's books too.
Ah ok....I've been very busy lately and pop in read quickly and out...lol
Still not a big believer in the Hypnosis thing either, though. :P
I have yet to see someone do this properly in a video. This garbage is a punch from more than 5 inches away. Properly using Fa Jing can make someone push an opponent in a similar manner as this...
Right I know that's the theory, but in actuality this is one part that never made much sense. Proper chi breathing is supposed to circulate chi throughout the whole body. So then the chi...
We perform the YJJ with the rest of the body at ease...not relaxed per se, just normal. And the tension varies with each exercise. In #1 as I posted it, you feel it most on the back of the hands...
Yep true Chris the tendons can't be strengthened. You have what you have and can't work them. Basically what I've found is these exercises work the smaller muscles that provide support to the...
This was a series of books written around 1920 by Fan Xu Dong (who was Wong Hun Fun's teacher). My teacher was Wong Hun Fun's first student and best man at his wedding. Fan was an artist of some...
The muscle tension is internal and the muscles and tendons being worked are not relaxed a bit during these exercises.
There are 12 postures, each held for a 49 count. Each posture works different...
It's common place for the tip of the tongue to be on the roof of the mouth to complete the "Grand Cycle" of chi circulation. I found this to be kind of a moot point with these particular exercises...
Oh Hey Mike...I just watched your Hok Fu Gao Cha on youtube. Almost identical to the way I learned it. Very well done.
I have not seen these done this way. The way it was explained to me is...
OK there's no real need for a video here for this. The old Shaolin Yi Chin Ching are quite simple. This first one is my 10 year old daughter doing the first exercise.
The official version says...
Yeah it seems as if each style has its own "lohan Gong" or "Yi Chin Ching" exercises. The ones I learned are the very same that you see on the walls of Shaolin. The walls built BEFORE 1981 :P
That video is interesting. That's not the old way of doing Yi Chin Ching the way I learned it. It looks like a mix of Ba Duan Jin, some of the Ba Gua Qigong I learned with Park Nam's school of Ba...
LOL a challenge. How many of those have you made and how many have you actually followed through on? Let me guess here....a dozen and 0, respectively? It's ok... I know plenty of people who are...
LOL it reminds me of those ***** enlargement ads (I was the "After" model :P).
I guess they're trying to tell us to hit harder we need to get fat?
but if you go to their site here's what you...
