Cool, did you guys do any "sparring" or fighting in class or out of class?

Wow, sorry, somehow I just missed posting to this thread again. Lets see....

I think there are about 9, but some are questionable. I've never heard of anyone practicing some of these, so take it for what its worth. I just googled for a list of the styles, so again.....

7 Star
Plum Blossom
Six Harmony
Closed Door
Jade Ring
8 Step
Wah Lum
Tai Chi
Southern Mantis (although arguably not related to other mantis systems)

I've never known of anyone who practices Jade Ring, or six harmony.

I really like the Liuhe(Six Harmony) Tanglang. I believe Mike Martello(RIP) learned it but don't know if he taught it.

I have seen video of Master Zhang Dao Jin and think he is great. I have seen others but Master Zhang is the one the inpresses me most.

Very Hsing I-ish. I find it weird that some of the forms don't end where they begin but that's just a matter of me being conditioned by Okinawan arts and Hsing I in terms of going back to where I begin my forms.

Really like this thread and others, not my lineage but interesting to research bits and pieces.

My father tells me that I am a good-hearted person, but it is my temper that ruins me. Can anyone suggest how I can train to calm my temper and nurture my good-heart ? thanks

I can help in this department through past experience ....but don't think he posts here anymore, may be wrong.
