Here's some excerpts from Don F Draager's book on Indonesian martial arts. Pages 80-84 is the pertinent part, about the kuntao styles of java. Being derived mainly from Shantung and Fukien, as well as tai chi and pa kua...

All of this stuff sound familiar?

All of it.
GM The's from West Java, right? Draegger makes the Fukien connection, too.

Good Monday morning to all of my great Shaolin Do friends. How are ya'll doing? Have you been praticing your forms and drinking your cool aid like good Sin The' followers should?

Make sure ya'll practice your Ippon Kumite & Tai Pang Sin Kune (whatever that is).

Sincerely,
Mark

If you look at this link to a Shotokan website you will notice that Ippon Kumite is listed on it. SD also mention Ippon Kumite. Hmmmm, is SD really pure kung fu? Or is it a mix of different styles? Oh wait, they (SD) just uses Japanese names out of respect for the late greatgrandmaster I Chang Ming, it really is all chinese kung fu.

Seriously, why do you even come on here? Do you like being antagonistic and patronizing? It seems like a well adjusted individual could find better things to do with their time then contributing nothing but negativity on an internet forum.

I mean look at Mas Judt or MK as an example. Both of them are very outspoken about their criticisms of SD but they at least contribute toward a dialogue that all but the most ardent "head in the sand" types appreciate even if they don't always agree with. You, on the other hand, are a waste of bandwidth. I've never put anyone on an ignore list before (not even Fu Pow ) but you are in the running for a first.

[mkriii]

Judge Pen......Yeah, I kinda like being antagonistic. No but seriously, I didn't originally start out planning to keep on like this, it just got kinda fun to watch as shaolin do people/students started to resond and react. Now its almost joking that I do it. Kind of to amuse myself.
Anyways, have a nice day.

Hey, at least you're upfront about being antagonistic for the hell of it.

Having trained in Shoto Kan for many years i will tell you the history of Ippon Kumite it isbased from the Japanese saying "I Ken Hisatsu" spelling?? To Kill with one blow or cut. Though SD calls it Ippon Kumite it is not true Ippon Kumite Funikoshi taught Ippon Kumite as a way to curb injury and teach control. BTW Shoto Kan finds itsw roots in the Okinawa Te and thus was imported from China therefore it too is in a way Chinese Martial Arts. Via Japan. YOU DIP KC

I agree. You crack me up ,bro.

[kwaichang]

Why not use "Ippon Kumite" as an art from China uses 2 Man Sets why cant a 2 man set be just one attack and defend technique. Application is the same thing is it not. To condemn an art because it uses "NEW" training methods or methods that will make the practioner better is stupid. All arts would be condemned and all practitioners as well KC

Gentlemen, it's apparent that mkriii is a troll, and all he wants is to get a "rise" out of us. So let me be the first in (hopefully) a trend of ignoring this flamer so we can focus on more relevent discussion.

'bye mkriii, your twattle will bother me no longer (and I hate kool aid and I hate people who think they're clever when they say cr@p like "keep drinking the cool aid" honestly, you really are pathetic).

[mkriii]

Not as pathetic as you (your the brainwashed idiot who thinks that SD is the greatest thing since sliced bread). If you only had a clue. Every other kung fu stylist thinks that SD is bogus. Are they all wrong and you guys the right ones? The rest of the world is wrong about SD, right? Whatever. Keep thinking that. One day you'll see the light.

[mkriii]

By the way did you drink your cool aid like good little boys and girls? You SD people believe every thing that GM Sin says don't you? Just like Jim Jones.
