    Black Taoist Update

    Just saw a 2011 Hsing-I training video on YouTube of Black Taoist baby tapping a towel hung to a tree...this surprised me on a couple levels. Especially someone who has so many years of internal training behind them.... visually it could be impressive marketing if he was laying into it a bit, kind of like Kill Bill, but...


    Anyway, just wanted to know if his fight ever happened. Couldn't notice all the videos hyping the lead up. All the talking.

    Any one know if he fought? The outcome?

    I think that, if you wanna post clips of supplementary exercises that are fun and productive, that's great.
    But the fact of the matter is, the only way one gets good at fighting is fighting and advocating anything outside of that, smacks as "delusional".
    One does NOT get better at fighting doing:
    Forms
    IP and IB
    Weights
    Gymnastics
    etc, etc.

    That said, posting videos of how to increase punching speed or crushing power or kicking speed is just fine, just don't make them more than what they are - building of attributes that MAY lead to being a better fighter.
    Much like running builds cardio that may help you train more fighting to develop more "fighter specififc" cardio.

    BT hypes up all the time and then surprise!!!!! NOTHING!!!

    whatever. I have zero interest in any of that action coming out of there.
    It's all come out as a wash in my opinion and not one of those dudes stepped up to what they said they would.

    None of them did anything but talk trash, make you tube announcements and of course, fail to fight.

    With that Hill fight, a completely different individual who fax doesn't seem to realize isn't the guy in question, but meh, here nor there because it lends itself to the point that although the guy who thought his bagua was shizzle got beat up by a kick boxing Muay thai guy at least he tried.

    He learned more than the thai boxer guy did. And if he didn't, he'll live through that again and again until he does.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    yeah, lemme ask - what's with the "Bey" title? I guess my question about it is, why is he self-identifying as a Turkish / Azerbaijani / Persian tribal leader?!?

    only in New York...

    I dunno. Why does one of the absolutely most un-taoist individuals in the world call himself "Black Taoist"?

    there seems to be a trend amongst certain segments of the African-American TCMA community to adopt bogus honorifics from non-western culture; I could hazzard a guess as to the underlying socio-economic factors informing such activity, but won't...

    Has something to do with being robbed of your cultural heritage and labeled The "Wretched of the Earth", "White man's burden", "barack obama did it" LOL!
    Easy to poke fun at the disenfranchised with every opportunity an impulsive privileged whim away, the world your oyster

    A fat racist and a skinny racist jump off a cliff. Who wins?

    "I am black; I am in total fusion with the world, in sympathetic affinity with the earth, losing my id in the heart of the cosmos -- and the white man, however intelligent he may be, is incapable of understanding Louis Armstrong or songs from the Congo. I am black, not because of a curse, but because my skin has been able to capture all the cosmic effluvia. I am truly a drop of sun under the earth."
    — Frantz Fanon (Black Skin, White Masks)

    Oh those zany black guys

    Not really that different than all the white-anglo-saxon americans and europeans who become infatuated and brainwashed by all things CMA.
