Is anyone else paying attention to the YMAA Retreat Center program?

You don't feel it's worth your money, then? That's fine, man. I'm not making any money off of saying how I think it's great.

Different goals, I guess. Different vision. Whatev.

I'd pay that much to train with Dr. Yang (assuming a number of life factors for me were different) or Pan Qing-Fu even, and get a complete transmission of knowledge.

I'm in it for the fight; the survival. At the end of the day, it's important to me to know that I can handle myself and that's why I've always had an open sparring policy. That's what's important to me.

I have lived on 5-10k a year since 10 years old. 100k to me is an unimaginable amount of money. I cant imagine handing it over to some fukin Taiwanese whoc ant even spell his own name right, to learn some forms and do some pushups.

with 100k I can buy Jessica alba for one night. I can buy 50 thousand kfc chicken legs.

Isn't there only half of the people left studying from the orginal group(10yr program). That is quite a commitment. I remember reading about it when it started.

I also like that they included firearms training. Let's face it, swords and spear are obsolete in street confrontations these days.

you can get a permit for a gun. Can you get a permit for a spear?

[Kymus]

you can get a permit for a gun. Can you get a permit for a spear?

Probably not

but I could be wrong!

I think it depends on the state, ultimately. In Pa you can carry a gun and conceal carry. In NJ you can't have a pocket knife (I asked a cop on that one, since the rumour was it was OK if the blade was shorter than your palm width).

I dance 90% of the time. I train for health and culture. I don't pay 100k like a moron.

some people pay bodybuilder women to punch them in the balls. some people pay giant chocolate men to bang their wife. some people pay 100k for dancing lessons.

First there was Shaolin Soccer, now there's Shaolin Stand-Up Comedy.

Bawang is our resident overly-sarcastic, borderline offensive comedian.

Dude Bawang. I think he's right. You're in the wrong biz. You should travel from school to school doing skits (of course, they'll probably hate you by the time you're done...)

im not trying to be funny. im just telling the truth. kung fu is a joke. and yangs students, having wasted their youth, are jokes.

if ur heart were in touch with the colored peoples, you would understand.

I don't know what kind of rich bourgeois gated community u come from, but no kung fu is worth 100k. not even david ross.

My cousin-in-law (I've got no siblings) is a member of the colored people tribe

When I moved to NYC, I lived in Dyker Heights. Mostly Chinese community. But still, on more than one occasion, some gang members got arrested right outside my bedroom window.

I'm not from the hood, but I'm not from any rich neighborhood either.

What are the most important things in your life? For me, Kung Fu has always been one of them. I think TCM will be #2.

For me, exceptional Kung Fu is priceless. That's just me. You feel that a never-ending bucket of KFC is priceless. Different strokes, bro
