    Cool

    I have found the angle of the technique changes the out come of the defense. So i think at times what appears to be a punch is actually a block. KC

    I'm really excited about this year's fall seminar. I'm wondering which drunk it'll be. I'm hoping for the flute player. Last fall's Shaking Crane was great.

    Which ones do you have? And is "crazy mad drunk" one of the 8 immortals? I thought maybe it was just a separate drunk... which immortal is the crazy mad one?

    Karate/Kung Fu

    I was just thinking today: why do so many people have a problem with the Japanese uniforms for a Kung Fu school, but they can easily accept "Brazilian Jiu Jitsu"?

    Because almosty everyone will admit that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was was born from Judo, which is where the gi and colored belt system originated. Consequently, you have a successor system borrowing a custom from its forebear. Brazilian jiu jitsu has never claimed that their gis and belt colorings exist for any other reason.

    because tcma guys have that insecurity where they need to try to be as "authentic" as possible to bring them credibility to other tcma schools... its like they have a ****ing contest over who can possess the most worthless trappings and hold them in reverance... like having an alter when you dont even really know what its all about...


    i would only wear a Gi if i was doing some jacket tossing... and i never wear the silk jammies... straight up sports gear for this cat... loose pants and a tshirt for the most part... and no feyues, i gotta sic pair of pumas that feel like extensions of my feet... just putting them on makes me wanna get all acrobatic...

    The real reason is due to the Japanese occupation of China before the 2nd world war. There were a lot of attrocities commited against the Chinese by the Japanese. Many Chinese would consider the wearing of a gi when doing a Chinese art a huge insult.
