    ~ Do you have the first part of the lecture series? What is it like? I have always enjoyed Mr Allen's writting in IKF and the tapes of Green Dragons that I already got. Was going to get those lectures a while back but never got around to it. Pity, maybe I should... How would you rate them on a scale of 1-10?

    Peace,

    I don't have any of them, that's why I want to see them. To my knowledge, there is only one lecture set, and it is 2 tapes long. I want to see them but I can't afford them.

    The only other stuff of his I've seen is Stone Warrior, Iron Vest, and Fundamentals of Empty Hand Fighting.

    What tapes have you seen?

    Cool

    ~ I have Fundamentals of Empty Hand Fighting, Fundamentals of Knife Fighting, Fundamentals of the Stick, Iron Vest, and a couple of the forms. Good stuff for the most part.

    I've seen a couple of the Green Dragon Studios tapes. I remember seeing a northern leopard set in particular. It was hideous. The flow was terrible, there was no power and it was really uncoordinated. To make things worse, Allen's narrative style is a perfect cure for insomnia!

    My Green Dragon

    I studdied Green Dragon Kuoshu from Grandmaster S.L. Martin. The system I study is based around tiger, crane, and dragon. I've seen some Hung Gar and Choy Lay Fut in it, but how much is really in there, I do not know. Grandmaster Martin was taught by Grandmaster Hung, of Taichung, Taiwan. This system isn't too spread out. Right now it's only really found in NJ and Pa

    Kymus, I think that's a different Green Dragon. It's kind of weird how different schools sometimes have the same name. That could be confusing and could potentially get someone in trouble maybe.

    What manual?

    I've been a part of Green Dragon for one year now, and I have not heard of such a manual. It might be something he does only for long-distance customers?

    As far as I know, btw, Sifu Allen has discontinued the video business.

    As for Joe Mantis's question regarding 2 man sets, there are just specific sets that include 2 people. Everyone learns both sides.

    Welcome to KFO.

    He discontinued the video business? Hmmm.

    What is training like there? Do you guys do a lot of sparring?

    No, we don't spar. But, even though form-work plays a major role in it, our training is by no means completely solo. We do plenty of contact/conditioning drills, 2-man sets, self defense techniques, etc.

    The 2-man sets, done properly enough, are almost indistinguishable from a real fight or sparring.

    IM or PM me if you have further questions about the school; I'm not a huge fan of the messageboard environment.

    I don't think so. Not the Green Dragon we're talking about, at least.
