When I get banned, I hope you all have such kind words for me.

@GENE,
Since were in the mood for big sweeping changes....
There are many Kung Fu styles I would like to discuss that don't really have a forum suitable for them. To post about them in the maion forum is a waste of time since they will be knocked off the list too quickly by the standard arguments. Could we have a new forum for NORTHERN KUNG FU or something.
I mean, were are the styles; Xinyi liu he, liu he, jing gang ba shi, baji, chuan quan, baihuquan, ziranmen, chuojiao, fan zi, yingzhao, erlang men, tantui, pi gua, tongbei, yuan gong quan, songxi pai, xuanwupai, WUDANG, ERMEI, lushan pai, Shanxi HOng quan, Hong quan, Pao quan, Zha quan, hua quan, taizuchang quan, ruan quan, longmen pai, ba xian pai, zhu sha zhang, sha shou zhang, huo long quan, yan qing quan, mian zhang, Da hong quan (non-shaolin), gong li quan, meihua zhuang, ba fan men, chang jia quan, wen jia quan,mi zong quan, huo jia quan, gang rou fa, hei hu men, jin suo quan, hu zun quan, tian gang quan, di shu quan, hou quan, da sheng quan, nanwu quan, kunlun pai, tulong quan, san huang pao, ; supposed to be discussed?
THese are just a few styles off the top of my head which don't have a specific place, but there are many more. Now that china is becoming more open, these styles are gradually becoming known.
So would this one be North, South, or Other Related?

some of the listed are grouped into family of long fist.
such as za hua pao hong etc
yin zhao or eagle claw, there are north and southern version of the north
--
etc etc.
Would it be possible to impose a hundred stickied thread limit to the Wing Chun forum? It really obscures the lineage wars.
from other chinese forums, things that I like
1. technique of the day, week or month
this is limiting discussion to the technique, so no vague or generalization.
such as bjj, judo or sc technique with name, theory, practice, tactics, entering
2. introduce yourself, your teacher and school
3. how many years and back ground style of you
such as 8 yr bjj as tagline
4. off topic, cafe, chilling area including chatting
5 finding teacher and school in you area

Speaking from smack dab in the middle of all of these arguments... I'll start with a comment about the Judo / BJJ thing. Right now... Today... Judo is Dying - FAST. Enrollment is on the decline when we should've been experiencing massive upswings because of MMA and BJJ. We could've benefitted massively if those who are in charge wouldn't have been such dumb arses. How? Because Judo was built for MMA, it also could've accepted BJJ early on and would be in a position to benefit from all of the interest in grappling.... but no - they fought it tooth and nail, complained, changed rules even. In a sense, they fought the surge in interest for no reason when they were in a position to embrace and benefit.
Let's not do the same.
TCMA could benefit from the interest in MMA. Most schools aren't ready for it... there are so many threads as to why they're not and how they could be.
We've discussed new forums before - here's an example:
why is there no contemporary wushu forum ? There are a few other such discussions on our Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine & KungFuMagazine.com forum.
Right now, I'm spending too much time on the forum as is dealing with the trolls...
