the kung fu mindset

[Hebrew Hammer]

You're really Nancy Kerrigan aren't you?

Don't make me show you! If I can quote Nancy Kerrigan, when I see Bawang's posts I cry, "Whhyy??!!!" sniffle, sniffle..Whhhyyyyyy????!!!!"

I suppose that's better than being called Chaz Bono.

"Yeah Tonya, I got another job for you and Jeff"

Well...well....that's just...well....I mean...well....

what? she's smiling about it. I think she needs the work and probably still hates Nancy because her boy toy Jeff got canned for the knee/shin beating his buddies laid on Nancy.

This is real Kung Fu here we're talking about right? Because Nancy got a spot on theh olympic team despite the shin beating andmade a better showing than Harding!

That's olympic man.

White children, in the main, and whether they are rich or poor, grow up with a grasp of reality so feeble that they can very accurately be described as deluded – about themselves and about the world they live in. White people have managed to get through entire lifetimes in this euphoric state, but black people have not been so lucky: a black man who sees the world the way John Wayne, for example, sees it would not be an eccentric patriot, but a raving maniac. … People who cling to their delusions find it difficult, if not impossible, to learn anything worth learning: a people under the necessity of creating themselves must examine everything, and soak up learning the way the roots of a tree soak up water. As people still held in bondage must believe that “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make ye free”.

-James Baldwin

yeah, ok, well mayb he's got a point about the whole racialist thing, but he was still a Marxist h0mo, so, I mean, you know...

she might be lurking around these parts, since she has nothing better to do, looking for her next boxing contender

Amazing the immigrant Asian who lives in Canada has such insight to the minds of men both white and black in the America? I salute you and Mr. Baldwin! LMAO!

[-N-]

... and somehow still maintain a sense of being Asian.

It's easy because there's always someone reminding us that we're yellowslanteyedchingassmuddafacks.

[SPJ]

in 1960s.

my brothers and I were learning and practicing CMA with teachers.

we were kind of reluctant to learn.

my brothers thought that we may always use a weapon or gun

for me

I was only thinking about the lessons will be over soon. what to do after that?

my brother's kungfu mindsets are to use a weapon. why wasting time do the punches and kicks.

my kungfu mindset was that, learn as much as I could. then I could do something else.

what to do after the school is over?

An Eagle Claw teacher told me that as a kid, he and his gang friends used their KF to protect the nerdy Chinese kids from being victimized by other races.

Good luck with that one...

mightyb,

Have you ever been to a TCMA tournament or TCMA social gathering and noticed that the only people wearing the flowing robes or authentic shaolin garb were white? The Chinese athletes are in jumpsuits or modern athletic wear and their coaches are in business attire or sometimes track suits.

That's what I mean about "out Chinese the Chinese". A similar term that's thrown around in Japanese MA a lot is "out Japanese the Japanese" because we'll hold onto what we think is dogmatic tradition when, if you travel to a school in Japan, you find it's not.

It's not unique to Americans. How many foreign tourists travel to Texas only to be disappointed because there are no cowboys and it's not like in the western movies?
