Stanley, when will these people ever learn that it's useless to fight over paper certificates and arbitrary ranks when facing the reality of.......
I never trained this way (only saw it done decades ago with a Chinese friend who did some CLF) but the flow seems a lot like some of the striking...
Please refrain from "fraud-busting". Remember, It is prohibited on this forum. I'm not a fan of William Cheung either, but let's not engage in...
The best punch is the one that lands. Sometimes the unexpected works better just by the element of surprise. In many systems, whipping, circular,...
My primary empty hand training is in Wing Chun, a short-bridge, linear southern Chinese martial art but I have to agree with Crane and Jow Ga....
The main difference between this and the more typical way you might see this lap-da or jut-da delivered is the forearm and hand position. Normally...
I think we mis-understood each other earlier. I actually agree with your position as quoted above. I don't expect anybody to just give away their...
Very true remarks ....whether talking about your MA instructor or applied more broadly to our leaders in general. Some will "leave a bad...
That's quite common among older Chinese sifus. My old sifu would often show incomplete or even deliberately wrong stuff to keep the "real...
We do a similar passing step that can, with minor variations: a. simply be used to cover ground and maintain pressure against a retreating...
Wing Chun has a fair amount of grabbing or lap sau used to control, tie up and create openings, but there may be less pulling-in than some other...
If you win one fight with bare knuckles, that counts at least as 10 bare knuckle fights. That's because you have ten knuckles, right? If you take...
Yeah. That's pretty much how I see it. ...So are you still developing your WC-Boxing system?
Well, I found the once you develop rotator cuff problems you won't do any style of bong anymore. Ironically, my rotator cuff issues stemmed from...
Why? ....I mean, are terms out of context, terms that are lineage-specific....of any value whatsoever? I mean there is knowledge ...and...
From what little I've seen, the Escrima taught in Europe has a lot of input from Bill Newman as well. Since he split from the EWTO, Latosa has...
Ja, I'm glad to see that the EWTO guys are integrating more bodenkampf into their kampfkunst. Unfortunately, I don't speak a word of German so I...
Hey Stanley! Great to have you on the forum. Yeah, my WT sifu from 1980 through the early 90s was Leung Ting and my Escrima instructor was Rene...
double post
OK spoofing aside... I agree with your point. I don't think that's exclusive to WSL WC ...or even to WC in general. If you have proper structure,...
Detachable hands? Like this? [IMG]
I did. And I found your analysis interesting. In the original branch of the Yip Man lineage I studied (WT), we also referred to tan, bong and...
Oh, I forgot to mention that I'm getting more into doing things "wrong" since I've pretty much broken away from my previous "association". As long...
Keith- so glad you are posting here again. Maybe you can help breath some life back into this forum! BTW so much of what you show here is totally...
Most physicians probably wouldn't automatically translate their medical training to effectively damaging someone in a fight in any special way....
Like this? ....Didn't work out so well for Antaeus. Like this?[IMG]
....or the delicate and sensitive nature of his WC. Mark Philips on the other hand doesn't seem so "snowflakey".
Great post! Sorry, for the late response. I don´t check in here myself as often as I used too.
No, ...this logo is a freakin´ snowflake ...which is kinda funny considering the modern usage of that term! :D
Just share a little about yourself ...your background or your interests in the martial arts, that sort of thing.
