Yeah but at least he doesn't have Stockholm syndrome and a sifu who admitted lying in court.

Hey Drake, don't monkey beak the bazoongas!

so wait - Frank, a lineage holder in Hung Sing CLF who has done a not insignificant amount of credible research on the system, ID's the form Milk Jake is doing as basically the one demo'd in DFW's book (based on certain earmarks - be they omissions or changes in moves / sequences), right?

and Jake was a former SD student, right?

and, some stylistic changes notwithstanding (Soard vs. Mullens vs. etc. "flavor") other SD guys do essentially the same form Jake is doing, right?

SKT has an established history of taking forms from books and passing it off as material that he learned from his teacher (who, ostensibly, learned it from the Chinese version of the Shaggy D.A.), right?

and yet TTM seems to be claiming that, with no evidence to the contrary (as far as I can tell) it's just as / more plausible that the version Jake and / or SD is doing comes from another source (that is, a lineage other than Frank's grand-master) than DFW's book, right?

really?!

REALLY?!

man, that SD Kool-Aide must be some powerful stuff...

multiple terms mashed into one...it may go more like this ...the MONKEY paws works similar to the preying mantis hooks or the cranes BEAKS...its like mixed metaphors. why continue to go on and on and on like a child that learned a new word or rhyme!?

oh c'mon, now u r just trolling;

you can't just conflate names because of similarities between the various animal hand shapes - mainly because the different shapes have different usage; even crane and mantis, though looking very much alike, function differently in application; conflating these things demonstrates only one thing: ignorance on the part of the person doing the conflating;

stop being such a blatant apologist for SD - or are you trying to get noticed and hired by the Catholic Church?

So does that mean my erotic spear form is bullsh1t?

[Syn7]

lol... I never did it. But I'm at 986 too. I'm sure it's a mod fukcing with us or some other cat took my idea. Either somebody erased posts or the thread was split up.

I prolly have at least 5 pages of posts. All the same thing. "what? you're crazy? why defend a liar?"

if it's not Ameri-Do-Te, it's ALL bullsh1t...

Given the discussion about the roundhouse kick on the main board, which is one of the better threads I've seen on here recently, do you think the presence of that kick in our forms supports the possibility that those forms were created by Sin The? The kick appears in both the short kata and the sparring techniques. It's in flying tiger comes out of the cave and in golden mountain tiger. What do you think?

I wanted to bump this to the top. Hadn't spent much forum time lately to read that particular thread, but I wondered that myself. Let me put some thougth into a more thorough response, but my knee jerk reaction is that it's either (1) Evidence of fabrication; or (2) at the least evidence of modification. I'm going to have an opportunity today to review a lot of my SD videos (and a few of the non-SD forms I've learned along the way) with a good friend and kung fu brother who has studied a more variety of styles than I have and who left SD before I quit training. I'll be sure to talk about this with him as well, but Sean can post his own thoughts on the subject.

I'm a bit mad now.
