    why fight if you have fighting midgets at your disposal.

    I sit back and have beautiful women (well, at least one) feed me grapes and rub oil on my body.

    I attack their guard. If no guard I draw out a guard and attack that.

    Hit door, open door, strike ... keep my door closed.

    I don't like greedy opening moves ... just going for the head with a kick or punch ... Don't you train to stop just this soft of thing?

    Depends on how high the midget was jumping at the time.

    I do not offer a guard. I keep my lead hand slightly extended, just above my waist = no guard. I'll punch any straight punch from below, from the wrist all the way up to the bicep depending on the situation and what is afforded.

    If it's a hook, the hands come up into Tiger Hands to get inside and strike from there.

    Because of this I'll throw a strike to force the other to extend, to reahc out, give me a bridge.

    Tai Boxers often leave their guard open. It's a trap and one would be foolish to think they can just walk right in, or strike to that open space -- it closes real quick.

    The weakness I see in a lot of schools is the idea that they can just open up with a high round house kick or go for the kill shot right off the bat. No better than the drunk's hay maker. Do they have power? Of course? But if you can just go in and hit the guy like that, you're waisting your time, playing with someone who isn't that good. IMHO.

    I prefer the element of surprise. for instance, I'll buy my foe a drink. If he still suspects me of any ill thoughts, I'll let him bed my sister. No man will suspect what will come next. A swift chop to the thigh, an elbow to the arm pit, and a powerfull hip thrust to the back of the head. POW! He never knew he was just kung-fued.


    keep your friends close, and buy your foes a drink.
