That's quite a lot of stuff. Are you still practicing all these forms (even in some extent)?

I've got a few years of Choy Lay Fut.
..and of course dancing.

[David Jamieson]

I'm just a guy.

After years of varying intensity in the levels of study, I've come to the conclusion that I don't know anything.

cheers

[Mr Punch]

Kung Lek
I've come to the conclusion that I don't know anything.

You heard it here first kids!!!

There're gonna be a lotta people here with no arguments Kungy Baby!

[David Jamieson]

yeah, but they are all just a bunch of girly flabby keyboard warriors who have not come to the realization that they themselves know less than nothing.

so argue away, it is meaningless to me. lol

[Kristoffer]

traditional 5 Animal Wushu / Shuai Chiao - about 4 years
been experimenting with Muay Thai, boxing, tkd, aikido but never really gotten serious in any of them. I might pick up Muay Thai for real some day coz I really like it. Also planning to join a BJJ school and possible concentrate on my stick/knife work in the future (along with my Wushu)


<e<dit:
Had a two week Pakua seminar in Beijing too. Not my thing though

[backbreaker]

IMA under a Tchoung ta Tchen lineage instructor on a regular basis for 11 years. ( 8 yrs old to 19)

Yang Taiji, O mei qigong, bagua and xingyi for 5 years( 14 to 19)

Dayan wild goose qigong 6 1/2 years

Damo gong

Chen zhou kui style new frame Taiji for 3 years

Muay Thai and Pankration on and off for 4 years

Falun gong 3 or 4 years ago, now doing Tibetan Yoga for couple years, both very good but the Tibetan Yoga is more for me I think, nothing against falun gong it's very powerful and accesible and I might take it up again in the future when I am done in other styles, but I can only do so much, and I can't do everything at once

[Losttrak]

Wing Chun - Only played with chi sau skills with other Wing Chun peeps. Good stuff

For someone who's most extensive practice appears to be "on/off" and with a few months here and there of a bunch of other stuff, you really have nothing to boast about.

Before you start issuing challenges to us, I challenge you to make one ego free post. I don't think you can do it.

[David Jamieson]

serpent-

this is an internet bulletin board, by virtue of that alone, the only reason anyone is here at all is ego, yourself included.

LOL, if anything is obvious about martial arts discussion forums, it is that.

Nothing wrong with ego and I have no idea why everyone thinks they can get rid of it. That is just sillyness.

If we had no sense of self at all we wouldn't be able to walk.

ah the posturing on a monday morning is something to behold. see my chest puffed out! my arms akimbo.!! Ha!

[norther practitioner]

Um, I have some time here, and a little of time over there...


About three years with my current Northern teacher.
I've been doing taiji with him as well for about a year now (lets just call it on and off for 2 years)

I studied a little bit in NY before I moved to Colorado. That was southern and northern shaolin, a little tibetan crane, some hung gar, some exposure to wing chun, and eagle claw.. lol.
