Speaking of hitting trees

[Xue Sheng]

Not many left on MT that may remember my short walk down the Police/Military Sanda path. But a big part of the training was hitting trees...and walls... Apparently Wing Chun folk like hitting trees too, they just need extra stuff .

Came across this by accident today

I don't hit trees, I prefer to leaf them alone.

I have it right here. But first you must bring me a shrubbery! (a nice one. And not too big)

The trees tremble in fear -- especially the quaking aspens -- when Xue approaches...

 

[Xue Sheng]

As I use to say, after I was jumped by a tree in Pa., and back when I was training Sanda...."Never trust a tree"

Wood you consider barking at them Buka?

Hold on…

 

[Wing Woo Gar]

Did I go out on a limb there?

 

[Xue Sheng]

I am going to have to get to the root of this bad joke issue and nip it in the bud

 

[Buka]

Rim shot!

I wouldn't want to bark up the wrong one. People would talk.

Hey that is Uncle Iroh's Punchline for his Favorite Joke.
"Leaf them alone"

My soul is dying line by line here ...

 

[Xue Sheng]

i might be going out on a limb here, but I see no reason to bark about it

Maybe it needs some fertilizer.

When we get to the root of this thread's problem I'll plant my feet and say "I think I shall never see, a poem as lovely as that farking tree."

I’ve seen a few styles lightly hit trees, kyokushin, some internal arts, even must Thai etc

The Sanda did hit trees with palms, knees, elbows..... I could never do the knees elbows thing.
