Inquiry about Bak Fu Pai

[taai gihk yahn]

you know, I've said it before, and I'll say it again - if anyone has any lingering doubts as to whether or not Doo Wai has taken a detour into crazy-land, they just need to look at this video to put all that to rest...

I mean, can someone, ANYONE, please explain the rational for something as gut-wrenchingly miserable as this?

Syn7,

Do you really want to get going on this? That's cool.

Gee, is this like truth or dare?

I'm always happy to talk about the differences between YKM and Pak Mei. Having studied both, yet from a common SiGung, I have a uniquely qualified perspective, IMHO.

The two have a different power dynamic, what you like to call ging. YKM has 'more stuff' in it, more complicated interpretations of techniques and 'accented' style breathing. They also train a lot more of the Iron skills. Yea, the forms are similar, but they are done differently. At the advanced stage, YKM goes into the ball forms and the that internal side. Pak Mei has a different approach to that internal energy development.

Novices can't tell the difference, and yet they seem to blather on the most about it. YKM is much harder throughout, until you get to the softer stuff at the end. PM starts softening up earlier. The Hung influence is very strong in YKM, if you've ever seen James train, you'd know what I mean.

I was there, going round after round the the National Heavyweight champ, Eduardo. After a few weeks I even learned to hit him. Few weeks later, he started hitting back. Sam used to beat me up regularly too. You do know who Sam is? These are my brothers. I catch up with them at NYE when they do lion dancing at the Temple.

Sifu Leung Cheung was a legend, and proud of the YKM style and heritage he helped to build, and didn't want to be absorbed into the Pak Mei pai. He chided me once for doing that, and now I do my best to follow his wishes. So, if my honour clashes with your aspirations, sorry mate. Not that I'd expect you to understand.

When did you change your horse stance from Sigung Leung's relaxed horse to Ah Sing's inverted knees horse?

When I changed from YKM to PM.

Was that before or after you left Sigung Leung?

After Sifu Leung retired, he passed me to Sifu Leung YS, who taught Pak Mei. I was the only one that was passed this way to Sifu Leung YS. With tea.

Who was it that your now Sigung learned from before he went to CLC in the end?

He learned with Har Hon Hong when HHH was with CLC teaching Pak Mei, the early days, and he learned directly from CLC and Lam Yeu Gwai as he got older. But that's not his most notable honour. The fact he carried the seniority through the years of the red guard, great leap forward and all that, in those very difficult times is why he is so respected. His activities during that 30 years is what sets him apart.

Wonder if his horse was different before he went to CLC? HHH must have taught him differently before he went to CLC, right?

You're an idiot, or you must be joking. This is pure tounge fu BS, typical of a forum rat and video student.

But then, you see similarities in the technique of Mike Tyson and Doo Wai....

Go figure..

[TAO YIN]

Yum Cha,

Good perspective. No this isn't like truth or dare. You was being snide, so I was being snide.

So now I am a forum rat and video student? Wow! I guess when I lived in Oz, China, Thailand, wherever, my teachers videoed there stuff for me?

I was joking. Didn't you like it? Tongue Fu? Come on man, you should know that I don't do that.

You should be calling me pardner instead of mate, don't you think?

You have always gotten piissy if any of us from Sifu Garry's camp questioned you, in one way or another. Then, when we would come to see you, you would be nice. No need to not be nice.

You catch up with Sam often? Cool, I thought he was in prison. He must have got out. I have seen James train. We went over all our stuff with him. He smacked me in the mouth in the process.

Anyhow, as long as you are going to be a shiit to me, I'll be one to you. It's simple. As long as you are going to be nice, like you actually are in reality, I will be nice too. Don't be a cuunt to me just because I didn't study at the same time as you did. Grow up.

and u just took it. like a womans.

mmmm kettle of fish

.....dude, in all seriousness, why bother coming to the US? assuming you can get a green card (which takes a few years at this point), you realize that it will take you somewhere around 5 - 7 years to get licensed here, and that's assuming you pass USMLE Steps 1 - 3, TOEFL and CSA, get your ECFMG certification, match for a residency as a FMG (although that shouldn't be too hard for FP, especially if you apply to some of the crappier hospitals in Queens or Brooklyn, assuming you come to NYC; of course, there's always Fifth Pathway, if you don't mind living in the middle of nowhere for several years) and pass your licensure and boards; then you have to get set up somewhere, and if it's your own practice, all I can say is welcome to the wild world of Medicare, Medicaid, Worker's Comp and health-care reform (meaning that your earning potential isn't going to b more than $200,000 K per year absolute tops, and you are going to work like a dog for that)...
I;m not saying this to be a jerk, seriously, but you may have no idea what you are in for; also, i hope u have a well-stocked bank account, because the whole INS thing, assuming you have an attorney (which I strongly recommend, otherwise u r going to get screwed by the INS system one way or another), is going to cost at absolute minimum something like $3,000.00 in fees over however many years it takes (and if you are brining family, it's going to be quite a bit more), and the USMLE / ECFMG bit ain't cheap either; not to mention that you won't even be able to work as a physician the entire time you are applying / testing;
why not just move to Turkey, Syria or Jordan? or try Germany, or Netherlands or Scandinavia that has to be easier...

Dr Harout can also try to enquire about the up and coming economies of Brazil and even Colombia (where I live), where as a Medical professional he will probably have a higher standard of living than most other places in the "First World", without the governments snooping on his every move, I might add.

Actually, Brazil would be my choice as it will probably have many immigrants from his culture, specially the city of Sao Paolo.

Bawang,

I did just take it like a woman! LOL! Then, when we left, Sifu started laughing his arse off and asked me why in the fark I didn't smack him right back. I wasn't sure of the politics there, that dude being my senior and all...Good laugh though, 40 year olds smacking 20 year olds in the mouth.

[TAO YIN]

Jamieson,

What the heell does kettle of fish mean? Where is your Toishan Black Tiger website, you take it down?

Brazil is definitely an up and coming economy, as long as you don't go into certain parts of the country w/out armored escort;

Colombia, I hear, is nice - a good long-time friend of mine is in Bogota where he is working as the military attache / liason to the US embassy (and BTW, HW, he liked the outfit that you were wearing the other night as you were coming home from work...)

I could write an essay about security problems in Brazil, and not all of it is as it appears, however suffice to say that people of professional careers have great lives over there.

For example, Rio de Janeiro is one of the most beautiful cities on earth it has a tropical climate; it has many great residential neighborhoods, each with its own character, and as far as I am concerned the best one out of the lot (and on the planet) is Ipanema, where interestingly quite a few medical practitioners have located their practice.

[I am just wondering if Sanjuro passed any time in this part of town when he was in Rio, relatively recently. However, one would have to live in Ipanema for a few months to really appreciate the greatness of life there.]

I live in Cali, not in Bogota, so your friend must have seen my cousin who lives in Bogota, he was never the same after completing his university studies in San Francisco...

Seriously speaking, Bogota is a world class city. it is a cosmopolitan city with a great night life, culture and business opportunities. The climate there is not so great, and that is one of the reasons that I live in Cali, which is Colombia's third city (the second being the great city of Medellin). The economy here is growing, hence my suggestion for Dr Harout.

Anyway, I hope that your friend is having a great time in Bogota.

I never said he saw you personally or saw you in Bogota; cameras are portable and minions do travel at their master's bidding

but yeah, he's down there w his family a few yrs now, he was in Argentina before, working his way up the food chain; they all seem to b enjoying themselves, but his wife was complaining that she was tired of not being able to drive herself around...

I am going to keep my eyes open, even more than usual, it seems...

but yeah, he's down there w his family a few yrs now, he was in Argentina before, working his way up the food chain; they all seem to b enjoying themselves, but his wife was complaining that she was tired of not being able to drive herself around...:eek:

That just goes to prove that you can never keep women happy. I mean not many people complain about someone else driving them around...LOL

I don't know what is stopping her from driving herself?

I guess it has something to do with security issues related to the fact that she is related to US military personnel?

Anyway, I am glad that they are enjoying themselves, and I hope that they will have good things to say about Colombia when they return home.

It seems that many outsiders think that the minute they step off the plane in a Colombian airport, they will be machine gunned by the mafia types, which is a total misconception. Luckily, the good word seems to be spreading about the hidden paradise, that is Colombia, even if this country has its problems, just like other nations in the world.
