the problem for tcma today are
not many qualified to teach properly
difficult to maintain quality students
there are to many forms collectors running schools. many martial artists in kung fu equate good kung fu to how well and how many forms one knows. now if thats what you want out of kung fu thats fine. but if you want to fight that doesn't help. drill the basics. so many people leran tcma and cant even use jab cross and basic kicks effectively. When running a tcma school there is a mix of people who want to train to fight or just excersise and do forms. its difficult to mix both. a seperate curriculum for both would be good but there is only so much time during the week. also many of the techniques contained in the forms are very diffucult to excecute and many are unrealistic. In any fight only a handful of moves are used. so who will have a greater chance to win. someone who practices these few moves over and over or someone who has a lot of stuff but not enough practice to effectively use it.

A BJJ player and notorious pimp, Da Big Deezy, in the Crenshaw district tried to "raise up" and "slap a ho" ..... I impaled him with my retractible naginata. I wish there were more groundfighters in the world. They make my arsenal that much more deadly. - john takeshi
