Tru-2-Form Sparring

[YouKnowWho]

Full contact fighting is not for everyone. Trying to low the standard so everybody can participate is like to make Taiji into "health only", it will not be good for the future of the TCMA.

Show me the money, Dave, show me the money.

I have a lot of money sitting around lately, I'd love to see a huge add in your magazine that reads "LKFMDC present the largest Mongolian Cluster Fuck in US history"

Don't temp me

One would hope that no one doing this competition thinks they are actually fighting, but history sort of already tells us some of them DO think they are

It's like making Chinese wrestling into Taiji push hands. It's going backward instead of going forward. Sometime fake confidence is worse than no confidence at all.

people who do this must look at push hands and scream "oh the humanity! stop the carnage! STOP!"

[Snipsky]

watching these videos, I demand the entire forum apologize to me, NOW!

Why????......

[lkfmdc]

Why????......

why should you all apologize, because you've all been telling me kung fu is fine and dandy and talking about how everyone is sparring and training for real AND LOOK AT THAT! LOOK AT IT!!!! WAIT! DON'T LOOK! HIDE YOUR EYES! RUN RUN RUN

Even in pretend sparring, Mantis reigns supreme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOO5v...feature=relmfu

The heavy guy had some decent jamming and sweeps... but he was using his weight to walk in because he didn't have to worry about something as basic as a real jab or a front kick that could bend him over. Light slappy movements with no intention prevent reality to appear.

Aside from, "Why not just fight to find out?" and "can you do this against non preprogrammed puppet-like robots?" sits "How do you put those clothes on and dance around like that as a grown man, having invisible Jedi combat with the air in front of a crowd of people?"

To address the spirit of the article: It is an embarrassment to wear ancient garb and then represent the culmination of a history of vast warriors with such a pu$$y display. It's that simple.

Lastly, China's history of being invaded and ruled by foreigners could make one call into question the methods that have been romanticized. It wasn't a recession that closed the original Shaolin Temple.

... I have to admit. That was so funny I watched it again for pure enjoyment


Maybe train like that the first six months if you have to (and you don't and shouldn't). But my God, keep it behind closed doors. Hush. Hush.... like fat girls and mopeds. No one needs to know.

As someone who won national titles in both Push Hands and San Shou this is beyond sad. Promoting this and letting San Shou die is inexcusable.
