Those are forms

Hehe, got me there. Yeah I guess so, but only in the same way a hook is a form, or an uppercut is a form.

Pretty sure there are no private conversations on a public board. But since you took offense then I am sorry.

I don't get mad I get even:

As we speak 12 of Ashida Kim's sexy azz NinjaB!tches and one big Old Sea Hag have been dispatched to your location armed with their retractable Naginatas and a generous supply of Hanae Mori Perfume, so you prolly gonna need some:

On me not being able to write cantonese;




What I really hate is the word 'Kwoon' for Dojo. It sounds and looks silly in english, and has nothing to do with martial arts, it just means a place or a building. In Mandarin it is 'Guan' but in order to say Dojo you would need to say 'Wu Guan' with Wu being the important word (martial). Guan (kwoon) is not important at all, you don't even need it, you can say Wu Yuan for example, a different word for a building structure. I suppose Wukwoon would be ok but that sounds even more silly. There is just no way to write cantonese in english that looks cool. SO I like to translate to mandarin. Most of the time we just say 'Lian gong fang' or training room.

Sorry for the unneccessary rant....

the correct Cantonese term would be Mo-Gwoon, but gwoon, or kwoon has become acceptable-not by English speaking people who don't know any better, but by Chinese, as in Buk Sing Gwoon.
I guess it's the same as Gung-Fu being an accepted term for Mo-Suht.
Then again, in English, we use terms like, studio, school, academy,gym, etc.
None of which are really accurate.
Doesn't bother me.
What does bother me is when people say,"Bo-Staff!" agggghhh!

When I was in the Mid-West last month I autographed 50 "Bo-Staff!"

tapered? lol

ah, napoleon dynamite has brought us all new laughs for when the geekazoid chimpanzee shows up and starts to tell us all about his skeelz and his upcoming career as a cage fighter!

I agree with LiuHeQuan above (sorry, I can't bring myself to use the cantonese).

The construction of ancient forms is something very few people understand.

noe u r rong
form is random techniques string together
oldest name of form is called taozi. it means gimmick, a hook to catch someones attention
a taozi is a rope hoop u put on the ground to catch a animals leg

There are sets that are also not for fighting at all.

Not random drills strung together at all in some cases.

A nei-gong set for instance or a hei-gung (chi kung/qigong) set.
These are not fighting sets, but are sets within some curriculums of kungfu depending on what you're learning.

I imagine that's from a lap band procedure, but nonetheless...
