My favorite Shih Kien role was in Kung Fu Bastard aka - Ring of Death.. He did what appeared to be Hakka boxing style - Lung Ying Kuen.. Southern Dragon Boxing. Funny movie and Cliff Lok is excellent as always, as well as the actress who played Shih Kien's wife.

Someone on a prior reply assumed I was white. That was my reply. And I am not incorrect about the rest. The problem is that the image portrayed on TV, with all the cop shows, showing cops doing things that are illegal to "get the bad guy", has America conditioned to accept the abuse as "the way...

Then that is not only a crime, but the breaking of the oath to the Constitution, which is dishonorable.

No. The Constitution is ABOVE ALL State laws, acts and statutes. Nuances affect those who allow public servants to talk legalese to them. Once they instill doubt in you, you're set up to put yourself under their jurisdiction, which can only happen if you consent. It's really simple. But...

I am not white. The Bill Of Rights protects us from tyranny. People are proving this everyday, holding LEO accountable. They swear an oath to the Constitution, to uphold it. If you are not committing a crime, and you are stopped, questioned and detained by the police, they are breaking their...

It's not a quote. It is in brackets. And I am the one who said it.

No particular order... Sifu John Kaufman -n Wing Chun Chen Zhonghua - Chen Style Taiji Hang Ng - Chugar (Southern Mantis) Li Tin Loi - Southern Mantis Roy Dean/Rick Ellis - BJJ Shinzato Katsuhiko - Shorin Ryu Kishaba Juku. Et al..

[We - People Of Color, have a grasp of the "covert" or subtle racism. And words like "thug" and "criminal element"... even "entitled" is often used as covert terms for us. Definitely. People want to erase the idea of racism by using terms like "race card" or insist that racism doesn't exist -...

It is not a karate thing. It is a Japanese thing, and not even in every Japanese martial art.

Osu: the "u" part indicates that the "s" has to be emphasized strongly, almost as if it were multi-syllabic. And this is the reason why people thing osu and oss are not the same. Osu is how it is iterated, o-SS is how it's spoken. I don't do it, nor did we do it in the dojo. It is more a...

Tai Chi, as opposed to Tai Chi Chuan... The type of Tai Chi taught by Westerners to other Westerners.

Okinawan Karate.

I speak for Okinawan Goju Ryu and the Shorin based kata I practice. There is a great deal of detail involved in the transmission of Okinawan kata. The depth of detail that was transmitted to me is not something that I would not want to pass on through video. I would not "cast my pearls before...

I believe he is still committing fraud. The guy is in peak form. I don't take that away from him. And he could do well just being a fitness coach. But martial arts? I read an interview where the Master he claimed was his Sensei, Sakamoto, said that Calasanz was a green belt when he was taking a...

Arts do not get confused. They just become part of your skill-set, providing you spend extensive amounts of time training in them. If you are new to martial arts, stick with one until you have developed good foundation, understanding of the mechanics of the art and its use. After that, you can...

That is the simple explanation of Jake Mace, Sin Kwang The, Calasanz and the many other charlatans out there.

He has some muscles. But on a serious note, to expect that no one should have anything negative to say about him is a detriment to martial arts. Him and his "teacher" - Sin Kwang The', engaged in a legal battle where Sin had to admit that his "art" - Shaolin-Do, was made up by himself. He had...

An Sifu has real Gung Fu.. Not many on his level..

The traditional forms introduced by General Choi ARE Shuri(from Okinawa) kata. This is what Choi learned from Shotokan. Any others are an attempt to create their own identity as a martial art. Older Koreans I have asked have called it Korea's National Sport, claiming that Taek kyeon is one of...

I invoke ALL my Constitutional Rights, and make it clear that I will not waive any of them. The Bill of Rights.

The original post is about Wing Chun in Decline. My response was that it is growing in popularity, not that people are still interested in it. The groups I mentioned are not esoteric or internal. Gu Lo Wing Chun is from the village Leung Jan went to live in his retirement. There, he expanded...

I find Wing Chun is actually thriving. People are very interested in the less popular lineages like Gu Lo Village. There is interest in methods by Pan Nam and Chu Shong Tin. These lineages are gaining followers as of late.

Lots of grappling in Goju Ryu. Ground techniques. But let's leave them ignorant.

Despicable, but most likely hit him in Gall Bladder 20.

Okinawan Karate is a grappling art. Whether you believe it or not.

Abso-freaking-lutely.

I have a cardio-pulmonary syndrome that stems from chronic bronchitis I had as a youth. In my 60's now. I have tried many things to maintain myself healthy. Some benefit but not as significant as recently. I had 3 heart attacks in 2019. I ran into a video by a cardiologist of 25 years experience...

The understanding of the location of the points, gives you the ability to set up the attacker to expose the points and make them vulnerable. Is it not practice that makes one skillful? When you learn the science of kyusho, you become familiar with what reactions you are going to get when...

Kyusho is not fighting. It is the art or skill, of locating and manipulating the points of the meridians of the body, according to the "destructive cycle" in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The hand/leg positions and the body mechanics that kata teach you, are road maps to the locations and...

Questions like this are usually asked by very young people.. kids, with very little training.. beginner level at best with limited experience. This question is not really possible to answer. There are too many variables in the real world.
