    Lightbulb poconos martial arts club

    i have been wanting to spearhead this for awhile now and after seeing lindley's post about "friendship encounters" and at the nudge of my old teacher, i have decided to finally chuck the spear... i live in the poconos of pennsylvania and it would be interesting to see if anyone would be willing to set up a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly get together with the intentions of establishing a local area martial arts club.

    so... if anyone is in the area and interested - drop me a line and let's "get her done!!"

    Why not just hook up with The Poconos Independent Chinese Martial Studies Group?

    ...more likely that you don't actually want to learn something due to your aversion to learning and such. lol

    Uki, seriously, you have got to be the most blatantly and proudly incorrect person to grace these forums.

    one little pat on the head to validate you and you'd suck a dick I think.

    why are you so adverse to being corrected? You ever examine that?

    Accepting correction is a huge step in a man's education in life.

    Since you've been here you've spouted more incorrect fortune cookie nonsense than some people have in years!

    Then you take pride in people becoming frustrated with your inane remarks and blatant ignorance and wear it like a badge or something.

    i'll give you this, and only this. You are unique. If you keep it up with the perception line I don't think you'll get anywhere. how'd you learn to set stone? Were you belligerent about that at every turn too?

    P.s Be proud that you are irritating I guess, if it's all you have.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    back on topic...

    it would be nice to build and set up a lei tai platform in the area someplace for "friendly encounters".

    i am not gonna google... i would like to see what everyone thinks the best sized lei tai platform is.

    id go with a 3-4 feet tall, and require the jump with no hands to enter

    20-25 feet in width, id prefer a circle to a square.

    hell you're a mason, make it out of stone or concrete!

    oh and to make it fun, encricle it with a moat!

    thats an awesome idea to keep the competition level higher...

    thats the entire idea... my patio now is roughly a foot high... it merges with a brick pushing station... i like the triangle shape for a platform - but a circle is just as good, though a triangle would seem to require more concentration. i personally never fought a lei tai, but the concept is brilliant. of course padding would be optional of course.

    that might be going a bit overboard... LOL... though the thought did cross my mind reading lucas's moat idea.

    What's the difference between sparring and sport fighting, besides the obvious level of competition?

    the mentality associated with it... no crowd, no pressure, no rules save for personal honor and integrity... the measure of control is better demostrated. it's generally a more "friendly" atmosphere that helps promote a more positive enviroment to train and practice in...
