Thread: Kung Fu and fighting

  1. #61
    I watched a group of fighters from one kung fu school prepare for an event. The only drill I saw them do that involved them hitting anything was someone holding a kicking shield, and them wailing on it without breaking for 100 strikes, then the next person. Not one of them developed entering skills, not one of them had the timing and distance to use their striking in the actual fights. As they hit the shield, they'd invariably end up leaning into it, not that they even got to that bad habit in their fights.

    Again, because outside info, like how to use training tools, is apparently bad.

    Chan Tai San never had issues with me training with others, in fact he gave me letters of introduction to a few

    I take my more advanced students to train with others people all the time

    The only thing you have to fear is if you are blowing smoke up people's butts

    My students say that training with others not only enriched what they have already learned, it CONFIRMS it for them....

    No offense, but this thread was a wreck, I cleaned it up and reopened it.
    If it get's closed again, you will know why.
    If you are trying to build a post count. Don't.
    You deleted many nuggets of fecal wisdom that we had to share!!! There were pics and everything! And how often does ZZtop enter into a forum discussion?

    Oh yeah... and you deleted my post that was trying to get this wreck back on topic.

    I doubt that TCMA looked like San Shou - if anything, it probably resembled Japanese Ju Jitsu.

    it actually probably DID look like those awkward and painful to watch fight scenes in the original kung fu TV series

    Experience has taught me that martial arts without reality is boring.

    No way - they were armed, sometimes in armor, sometimes not originally

    I think we have to set a time frame.

    Classical references to sword work often allude to light footwork as being the key. Not deep stances.

    It could be worse... they could have looked like those awful fight scenes in the Circle of Iron.

    yeah... so do a sword form (other than tai chi). Fast footwork is the norm.

    In Soviet Russia,

    Kung Fu fights you!!!
