wish the camera had been rolling. too bad. i guess that means I can't prove that I got nailed square in the face and knocked flat on my back.

I voted first bro! At least you didn't video yourself falling out of the ring.
Not that I could even climb into a ring without pulling a groin muscle.

The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.
Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

it wasn't quite one of those 'how the hell did i get down here' moments but close. got caught flatfooted as hell and 'pop!'
my friend is 2 weeks away from the toughman...I think he's going to clean house...if not from the expert sparring partner he's had (ahem)...at least from the fact that he's a tough sob.
and, 'phooey' on you street fighter!

I believe ...
Didn't vote, but I believe you if you say so. No, I don't think Kung Fu sucks or you suck. I wish more people are more forth coming and admit that Kung Fu doesn't make anyone a Demi God by default. There is a difference between romancing Kung Fu and practicing Kung Fu. In practicing Kung Fu, you will get knocked on your ass. That's as real and as good as it can get.
If you are "saying" to make a point, well that too, I hear you loud and clear. So preach on, brother.

wasn't really playing kung fu. a buddy of mine is going to enter a toughman in two weeks and we've been straight western boxing almost every weekend for the last 2 months.
but, i have been able to use feng shou to some extent and one of the 18 Essentials, 'Interconnected Breaking Punch' is really just driving high with two punches and then one to the mid section. 'kung fu' at it's basic uncomplicated-by-'tradition'-and-'my shifu say's:....' level, isn't too difficult to apply.
my buddy is also a 'traditional' practitioner of karate.
just fun and knockdowns

I remember the first time I got my bell rung... Oh man, it was rough on me experiencing something new like that. After that I got popped in the nose by someone's ridge-hand. It felt kinda like when you eat a huge thing of wasabi paste, and your face feels like it's gonna explode? Lol. After those couple moments I had to make a decision. I could either keep training and face those experiences every day, or I could pay it safe and quit. I chose Kung Fu. So even when I tore my ACL it was an easy decision to get back to training ASAP.
I've been knocked on my ass so many times by my kung fu brothers/sisters. It's really fun when we've been working on a certain concept all week, and then suddenly someone figures it out/gets lucky and I wind up looking at the ceiling. After I catch my breath I'm usually like "how'd you do that?"
