    Sheesh!! another video of 2 students doing meaningless kung fu drills.

    Too much stance work

    No contlact at all

    I guess it's Kung fu...if you mean by that, you mean hard work.

    Otherwise, a couple of pansies doing forms with gloves on.

    Where do you get this stuff Ray? !!!

    It's my 14 year-old neighbor. It's his fifth class. He took four classes and then had to take off to study for exams.

    Today was his first day back but he got four As and two Bs and remembered what we've been working on so not so bad. Introduced him to the heavy bag and how to work the straight, cross, hook with footwork.

    He's got potential and seems into it.

    Don't worry. It was just the warm up..... we broke out the foam noodle right after the camera was put away. Then we spent 45 mins teaching him how to bow in Shaolin-like for his form. Certainly want to use the time productively.

    Yea. I'm teaching him for free. My shoulder's busted right now so I can't BJJ (seeing a specialist later this week) and it's nice to have someone to work on some stuff I want to work on.

    He's never trained before and matts would be nice. The grass isn't bad. But there are fire ants in some patches and they're nasty.

    In my experience though, I've found it best to charge.... the first student I ever had missed a lot of class and I'd skip surfing or something and be ****ed about the no show. And then I realized he didn't value the training because there was no monetary value.... his folks pressured him a bit.

    As soon as I charged $100 (I new the parents would pay) he didn't miss.

    Later on though, he became one of my closest students. I was renting from his folks, some old hippie surfers.

    if you really valued what your Sifus taught you, you would be working on more internal, and eight pieces of brocade, rather than that kickboxing stuff.



    Holy Crap!

    thats because i completely understand my CLF bro. CLF is extremely versatile which is why i love it so much. but the part of him blocking the incoming punch and throwing his own punch at the same time we do that in our CLF as passed down within our lineage.
