    Thumbs up 1930's Tianjin Wrestlers (Historical Pic)

    Not sure how to post pic's here so I will post a link to my blog.

    Thanks to William for this awesome picture find online! I have always wondered what it would be like to go back and see how those guys trained 100 years ago!

    Enjoy,
    JAB

    What ??
    TCMA posing without their shirts one to show their muscles ???
    Those photos must have been photoshpooed because no real AUTHENTIC (TM) TCMA would do that !!

    I was just going to say, it's obvious that none of those guys had an understanding of so-called "internal" practice...

    Clearly their pecs will become hangers in old age. If you see a real internal master in his old age, his bosoms are plump and perky, and can still make a newborn's mouth pucker.

    that is our Uki, and he was great. You should see his skills at juggling iron. He has some mad skills in that area.

    Always great to meet people in person.
    yeah I enjoy meeting people in person as well, Net. is not very good at conveying enough language.

    You guys ever plan up another meeting I would enjoy doing that.

    Gene and I have been telling people to come visit this event for a while and LamapaiShifu, Tai Ghik Yahn, Uki came to visit us while we were attending the Zhang Sang Feng Festival.

    I will be there next year in PA where it is held.

    I also will be at the Tai Chi Gala.

    Ill keep everyone in the loop and invite people to come out and be known.
    Mouth Boxers have not the testicular nor the spinal fortitude to be known.
    Hence they hide rather than be known as adults.

    thanks for the pics and the article was great too.

    who would have thought it a chinese master combining grapplig and western boxing to make himself a better fighter and fighting in full contact events to test his skills
