Thread: Master Adam Hsu

  1. #16
    Adam is the man.

    And yeah, 100% agree with David. Adam did not toe the "party line" He was one of the few who didn't kow tow to the existing power structure either. He did his thing and was very effective without needing anyone else. A man's man.

    There is a "wutang" school? Is it spelled like that? And does The RZA run the school?

    The Wu Tang school in NY that I am aware of is the biggest bunch of LARP'ers I've ever seen, and that says a lot

    well whatever you heard from them is crap. truly adam hsu knows what he's talking about thats why everyone here is commenting on him, he shows clear down to earth realistic applications. and he can explain what he does. he is a true master.

    You talking about his "thunder" Taiji form?
    There was a line of tai tzu chang quan through Adam Hsu's baji/pigua teacher Liu Yun Chiao. I assume he's talking about this.

    I love the sword polisher's record. It reveals more about the nature of kung fu, silk-reeling/chan si jin, etc. than any other book out there.

    And I agree with lkmfdc, he probably has the most insightful article about shaolin there is.

    I had met Adam Hsu a frew times off and on over the years but really got to know him when he introduced his weapons sparring. I was living in Washington DC at the time and he came to Baltimore to do a seminar at Anthony Goh's school. Tai Yim todl me about the seminar and drove me up. I remember the look on people's faces when Adam Hsu told them they really had no idea how to fight with their weapons, then SHOWED them that he was corect...

    I had the honnor of not only meeting him but crossing hands with mr. Hsu while living in SF.
    He studied with my teachers teacher Wei Xiao Tung of 8 step in Taiwan and is good friends with my Shifu.

    I must say that not only is he the real deal of some of you guys put it, but well versed and moves quickly and efficiently.

    I was holding a book against my chest and he was hitting it using a phoenix eye and I could feel it right through the book. i on the other hand hurt my knuckle trying to penetrate through the hard cover LOL.

    I must say that of all the older great teachers from Asia he ranks up there in the top 10.

    Teaching traditional Ba Bu Tang Lang (Eight Step Praying Mantis)

    Teacher always told his students, "You need to have Wude, patient, tolerance, humble, ..." When he died, his last words to his students was, "Remember that the true meaning of TCMA is fierce, poison, and kill."

    I am not trying to knock him, I am just reporting what I heard. I also heard negative things about him from people in the taiwan school. maybe they are just hating, the explanations given to me why were pretty good.

    I've always liked him, especially when I say him on the Living Legends of Kung Fu video years back. It had Doc-Fei Wong, Chan Poi, Brendan Lai and Adam Hsu. I Think they all made a very good showing, but Hsu came off the tightest. He's the real deal, no joke.

    As it stands you sound like you are hashing up some "3rd party" anonymous vague crap.
