    It's between me, Robinhood and Ross. We must have a competition to verify The winner. We will begin with philosophy, (no poaching from fortune cookies), Martial History, (Oral traditions only) and conclude with Sanda, (Lei Tai must be over lava or spikes.)

    Joking you guys...

    You can have Kung Fu in cooking, it really has nothing to do with fighting!

    the hatred that drove me to train martial arts is to beat up the wing chun guy who sucker punched me in chi sao. after completing my quest, i am at the end of my magical journey and at peace.

    What constitutes fraud in martial arts anyway?
    There's fraud in that case in mma clubs as well.
    You know the clubs, all talk, no really notable fighters per se and a lot of blah blah blah etc. Yes these exist as well. And bullocks to "at least they step up" because no, no they don't really, not more or less than anyone else anywhere else.

    I find it interesting at how many guys perceptions still seem to be stuck in the 90s in regards to tcma.

    There aren't many fraud schools anymore, but fraud is when you take someone's money without the permission to do so and pretty much any gym that uses credit card automatic billing is typically gonna steal form you at some point. Never let anyone keep your card on file and insist on paying in increments of 1 year in full or 3 months in full etc and if their plans don't allow for that and they "have to" auto debit? Take a walk, they will steal from you when they say they "have to" or "it's policy".

    Business is business and that line is crap. To that end, you are more likely to get ripped off by anyone who depends on your credit card or bank account auto withdraw for payment. Whereas there are still many cash only, no contracts, pay monthly traditional clubs out there.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    People often make that mistake, MK.

    I'm glad I could clear that up for you.

    Hi again, he asked who, not what, but I think we have to separate two kind of people, the guys that don't know that they are a fraud, let's say they teach only the mystical way of the art, no agresion and only for health purposes, and they think that is all this is about.

    And the people that try to use the mystic part to tell the people that they can beat people only with that, and they know it and use that mysticism to tell that they know 1001 forms and that they are some kind of knowitall god of kung fu. They teach kung fu forms that looks produced in a mexican-kung fu-chinese-style-movie or teach traditional forms that they learned the day before.

    I can´t decide on this two

    Jake Mace from the Phoenix Longevity .... what ever

    Mak Jo Si from Chiinnature, and this guy says he is a taoist master, maybe he is, I don't know, but I think he is experimenting too much with mercury.
