"No - I don't see your point - mostly because you don't have one."
I've made no less than THREE points dude. And I've made them repeatedly!! I can't help it if you don't understand them.
"Your post today at 2:33pm was titled "SD is Fake!!" - so I think you did say that."
I guess my attempt at getting a rise out of you worked.LOL. Usually when they have resorted to ad homenim attacks on your character..it is a sign they have lost the argument. Yawn!
"Neither you or "Dragonfly" or your boyfriend "TingHexagram50"
For the record..I'm engaged...yes..to a woman. Usually when they resort to ad homenim attacks on your character..it is a sign they have lost the debate.
"You are wrong. Tell me where you live and I'll get a SD guy there to show you." There's a SD school only about a mile away from my apartment. No need to go to GA.
"
Let's make heart part of aptitude - and try and answer the simple question."
I did.
"That is the least intelligent answer I have ever heard for a hypothetical question."
Oh? When I take a fight between two people..I don't "assume" anything. The scenario you were describing about how "Now lets assume ..." and "lets also assume"..I try and never do.
"Really - try telling that to the guy with superior mechanics as his beats your ass."
You can have super mechanics and be slow. You can also have superior mechanics and lack a good strategy. So to can a person have superior mechanics and not have the ability to adapt to a changing situation.
"Or try telling that to the doctor when you need surgery for poor mechanics - or poor health."
Tangent #...? I forgot..Tangent #10? Now we are talking about surgery?
"That is why my hypothetical question eliminated those varibles. Again, I'll speak slowly now...... try...... to.....answer.....the.......question"
And I'll speak even S-L-O-W-E-R to yoooouuuuu..because you've got alot to learn sir!! You can talk about hypothetical situations till the river runs dry, I'm talking about an ACTUAL situation. You want to eliminate those variables..go ahead..but taking them into consideration will determine who wins the fight!
" is based on what??? A person who hasn't been to either of the wushu temples and seems to believe there was an unbroken history along with great records."
I've neve been to Iraq or North Korea yet..does your comment mean that I need to go to either place to read about it's TRUE history?
"Do you realize there was NO SHAOLIN TEMPLE since long before you were born"
There was a temple allright. It may not have been functionng as it did in the Ming dynasty- but it sure existed.
"until about 25 years ago when it looked to be a promising way to make money"
Ah yes..making money just like Sin Kwang The has done..and it seems quite handsomely from people(read you ) who want to believe a revisionist history of a style of kung fu which calls forms "katas"..all 900 of them.
We can play this game all day buddy! Ya know what? I grow tiresome of this pointless diatribe. If you doubt me..take a trip to either Shaolin temple(since you are so fond of using the visiting angle as a platform to further your argument) and mention to the head Abbott that Su Kong Djin was the "grandmaster of the temple" and learned 900 forms. I am sure that he would be polite and not laugh but that doesnt mean he likely would not be thinking "is this guy on crack?".
" My mistake - I inferred you might be 25+ years old. But your posts indicate a 13 year old kid with an internet connection."
I'm 41 and clearly you are missing the mark.
As for a SD beating an 8 step sifu in a real fight..I have no desire to do this and I can tell you with certainty it would be no contest--900 forms or not!
I find that people who are confident of their ability in what they are studying do not need to issue internet tough guy challenges all the way from Georgia. Nuff said..
