Attn: Ralek, real kung fu guys in your area.

If it were here in Dallas, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Too bad they don't offer seminars often here reasonably priced. The only seminars I find in the area usually are around $200+.

May be you can make it to the next Taiji Legacy seminar series in 2004 although I am not sure how far Dallas is from Arlington Convention Center (which is where it was held this year and I assume that is the area where this series is generally held at).

The 2003 Taiji Legacy seminar was $15 for each ticket featuring guys like John Wang (shuai jiao). You can't beat this deal. I wish I could have gone.

Here's a run down of Mr. Wang's 2 seminars this year.

Combat Shuai Chiao - Defense

- Retrieve foot work (long distance backward jump)
- Defense against:
- straight punch
- hook punch
- front kick and side kick
- round house kick
- above knee
- below knee
- shooting
- before he gets your leg
- after he gets your leg
- front embracing (head twisting)
- back embracing (Mahua - leg twisting)
- matching kick (leg blocking)
- leg seizing (cracking)
- head lock (eyebrow mopping pulling)
- hip throw (leg blocking)



Combat Shuai Chiao - Offense

- Advance foot work (move back leg close to front leg then move front leg)
- One man drill on "tree kicking"
- Two men drill on 'knee stepping"
- Enter his kicking range
- Enter his punching range
- Move into his front door
- Move into his side door
- Kick, punch, grab, throw, follow on strikes combination:
- helmet remove (smash head to the ground)
- chopping with triangle elbow lock (knee drop on the chest)
- diagonal pulling with shoulder lock (knee drop on the shoulder)
- leg seizing, inner leg hooking (knee drop to the groin)
- matching kick, leg blocking
- Mahua (leg twisting)
- tearing by running around and behind and throw him backward by "knee seizing" if he "resists" you (elbow drop on the throat).
- tearing by running around and behind and throw him forward by "neck mopping" if he "follows" you (knee drop on the head).

Rolls,
I see you have been around the last couple of days and I didn't want you to miss this.

[Ralek]

well just so you all know i live in Pennsylvania now. And 75 dollars!!!!! That's a little pricy. Shaolin Tiger fought me for free. Driving all the way down to gaithersburg to pay 75 dollars isn't my idea of fighitng.

Unless they will fight for free. and i can't start posts becuase they get deleted by Kung lek.

Maybe you can go home and visit your mommy. I will pay the $75 for you to attend if you come here and post what you learned.

Wandering Monk, I actually live in Arlington, I've been to the convention center several times but could not attend the last Taiji Legacy because of work and I needed $$. Not to mention they have several seminars, and I would not be able to determine which I would like to attend.

[Shaolin-Do]

Mr. Wang teaches in austin

[PHILBERT]

Is he related to Master Hung Wei Lo?

[norther practitioner]

I thought that you first had to pay like $50 to register, then each seminar was $15...
Anyhow... were you there wm?

[MasterKiller]

$55 to register + $15 per seminar.

No, I can't go. I am in the East Coast and really short on money. But, seriously, fifty-five dollars for registeration and fifteen dollars additional for each seminar is a big steal.

If I live closer and win the lottery, I'll make sure I attend.
