Question for Wah Lum people

[vixie]

ALL THOSE WHO ARE PARTICIPATING IN THIS BASHING SESSION NEED TO FOCUS MORE ON YOUR OWN ART AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT THINGS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER...LIKE SOMEONE ELSE'S SCHOOL, STYLE AND TEACHING...

I IMPLORE YOU...ESPECICALLY THOSE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SETTING AN EXAMPLE...FOR THE REPUTATION OF MARTIAL ARTISTS AND FOR YOUR OWN PEACE...STOP THIS NOW...NO MORE.


LOVE AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO ALL THOSE WHO PRACTICE,

VIXIE

It seems that you have missed the point. This thread is about finding out information on the WLPM system. There are many questions that have been unanswered. I appreciate all the knowledge that has been shared so far and am grateful to ALL who have contributed to this discussion.
Questioning a style is not bashing, it is merely seeking to know more.

Thanks: Tainan, 18 Elders, Hua Lin, Mantis108, Northern Mantis... and all who contributed. Keep up the great work.

Learn Kindness

Learn Fellowship

Learn Kung Fu

....one need not be a genius to read between the lines....or perhaps my old Sihing has forgotten what this means...it's not a Wah Lum thing, you know? It's a kung fu thing.


I for one will no longer participate here. I urge anyone who truly wishes to discuss kung fu to open a new thread that does not encourage the painfully obvious negativity found here.

Farewell friends,

Vixie

I would not claim to know the thoughts or feelings of either teacher in either school; I would also say nothing against either, as both demonstrate sincerity in walking the paths of their own study and kung fu even though their paths are separate and different.

I certainly compliment the second school for the use of children in their performance. As I stated, the crowd—both kung fu students from both schools and civilians—enjoyed it very much. I hope the school has continued success with its children, as it was certainly a strength of their show.

I am certainly excited after a performance and need time to reorganize my energy and thinking, and I imagine that others also need the same. The first school had children for the first five or six minutes, and you may have missed them. They did quite well. They ran into their places screaming, and they came to a silent halt. Their performance only got better from there.

I must agree to a point with Olethros concerning the lack of power. But did you see the Leopard Form? Wow! Speed, power, and skill; that guy was made for the Leopard. He learned and was taught well.

The students in the first school train for any show from the day that they start the school. They are taught that kung fu is to be learned and lived rather than merely exhibited for demonstrations.

I, too, find it odd that the teacher of the first school would say that another teacher “suck[s].” I cannot imagine one of the three students that left the first school and attended the second would back up such an accusation. I am glad, though, that the three had a chance to study under two serious teachers with similar and yet different systems in one area.

It is also great to see someone in the same area, like yourself, who has such a strong knowledge, study, and practice of your own system that you can question the well-known masters and ancestors of others as well.

Cant we just all get along...
This is just so upsetting to me...I cant sleep, my hair is falling out...it's really not a pretty sight.


18elders
I really dont think it is fair for you to say that your school sucks. Nobody is perfect and we're all trying our best, so just keep tr......
oh...I'm sorry...I misread that...someone else supposedly said that aboutyou ...oh,sorry.

I love these conversations when involving Wah Lum for some reason certain people start whining about bashing. It really cracks me up. Vixie, your comments come right out of left field. Tell me where the bashing is? I can't find it. The comments made where abstract enough to for anyone not in the loop to know what's going on. I think the comments where in much better context than I would have written them and personally I think you're thin skinned to let some comments bother you like this. I have no idea who they are talking about and if I did, who cares? A kung fu school is just a business entity just like any other business such as a restaurant and such. Certainly you're not going to whine if I post some criticism about Pizza Hut are you? I think their pizzas are too greasy. Oh, Oh... Please stop bashing pizza hut... Can't we all just get a long and love one another? Excuse me while I barf.

[9dragonshijin]

Maybe 18 elders can help me...or Joemantis...sorry...same person.
Anyway.
Does anyone know Chan Wan Ching's shoe size?
I was told it was 44 / 9-10 u.s....but now ...I'm starting to have my doubts.
Also.
Did Lee Kwan Shan like his eggs scrambled ,or sunny side up?
It's not in any of the teachings, and I think it is strange that it isn't.
What sort of cover up is going on?
Why can't I get an to this?
What is Wah Lum hiding?

[9dragonshijin]

As for Vixie...don't worry about her.
When I find her, I'll settle her hash...peacenik.

[18elders]

I'm not the same person as joemantis. I have nothing to hide so i wouldn't need 2 user names.
Yes i do suck compared to my shr-fu, and his shr-fu. I know they have great kung fu. You can bash me all you want, i don't care it doesn't bother me, i never stated my kung fu is great.
I'm guessing you train with sifu TH?

[Joe Mantis]

Sorry Guys and Gals but I'm not 18 Elders.

Anyway, The question still remains: Did Chan Poi teach anyone the applications to the forms?

What is do difficult about that?

Also, Vixie, If you feel so insecure about your art then maybe it may be time for a change. Who knows? All advancement has been made through questioning. Can I have some answers please?

[Joe Mantis]

HAS CHAN POI TAUGHT THE APPLICATIONS TO THE FORMS?

Is that bashing?

[woliveri]

Master Chan only personally taught me one application to one move. I asked him what the position was where you have your left hand extended with one finger sticking up (I don't know the name of the palm). It's kinda like a ready position. When I asked him he just grabbed my arm. That's it. I learned much more about Wah Lum applications after I left Wah Lum and trained with a Vietnamese man who trained in Tai mantis and many other arts in Vietnam. When I was at the school the focus was on forms training. I think 18 Elders, if I remember correctly who you are, the same applies. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[9dragonshijin]

I'm not bashing you, I just misread one of

your posts.
Next.
Try and work with me here...I'm going into the abstract here a little, I'll try and go slow. When I said that you and Joemantis were the same , I didn't mean in the physical sense. You both say basically the same thing, always coming on and backing the other one. O.K.
Now.
you are both of the same mind, unified.
Hence my saying you are the same person...there's is a little step that must be taken in that thought process.
YOU ARE THE SAME PERSON UNDER TWO NAMES ADMIT IT!
As to your question , yes
