Master Arts Academy of Kung Fu

[Nebuchadnezzar]

I went to this site after stumbling on a video posted at YouTube.

Anyone know of this new style called "Kung Fu"?

Here's an excerpt from the website:

"Kung fu is an all encompassing art that adequately covers all aspects of combat and character development ultimately resulting in the betterment of self. The combative component is of the most in depth of all the fighting arts under the sun."


Thoughts, comments, or impressions?

LOL - indeed it do...

also:

- I like that he's got a set of katana behind him in the video - is this a new Kung Fu weapon?

- I like the calculator on his desk - ready to figure out your monthly savings, right?

- I love those little flashes of light whenever he does a technique - will I learn how to do that as well?

- I like the little "slip in" about teaching a "classical hard style" first before you get to the kung fu part...

- and finally - what is that thing on his chin?

"The term form can also be used to describe a series of motions linked together for efficient training purposes (sets). In Japan the term kumite is used."

uh..do you see what I see???

of course, he has to call the crap he does "kung fu"... no, he couldn't call it "taekwondo" or "kenpo", no, not cool enough, it has to be kung fu

I long for the old days, when a person would show up at that school and beat him senseless and close it down.....
