Scott, you make good points but your use of exclamatory punctuation makes my teeth hurt.
You're like SPJ on a prozac-ritalin blend. It won't be long before the forum sucks the sunshine out of your soul.

They are blinded. They finally saw someone winning and were willing to worship him as a CMA hero. They get annoyed if you point out Cung Le is a TKD fighter and high school wrestler first and foremost and try to draw parallels on how similar it is to traditional kung fu. Everything is similar becuase we all have 2 arms and 2 legs, yet the style of TKD is not kung fu even though a kick may be a kick, and a punch is a punch. He is a TKD hero and i ackknowledge his skill in a sport setting.
Yes Cung Le is a SPORT hero. But not a fighting hero. People can be some of the best fighters in the world but lose in the street. Look at Fernando Vargas. Champion of the world in boxing, then gets beat to a pulp in a street fight.
I had sunshine in my soul?

I think you should read "Chinese Fast Wrestling for Fighting" before you label single & double leg takedowns as 'high school wrestling.' Those moves are in shuai chiao.Quote:

Cung Le is helping to promote san shou and that helps us all. Just as if he was promoting shuai chiao tournaments. San shou is helping to further traditional CMA. They both can feed from each other.
I don't really care who wins at san shou - I care that it gets promoted. Why do you even care what his background was before san shou?
Actually, I taught Chris a whole series of special Chi KUng postures....
Lo Han accepts a red envelope
Immortal drinks double Latte
Furry Weasal jumps in a hole
Giant Bear drops chi in forest...
real secret stuff :eek:
Lol. Reminds me of a particularly eventful weekend.Quote:

He started participating in CMA? You said san shou was just a format. Or a set of rules? He is beating you at your own game using TKD and wrestling. This is not becuase TKD is superior. It is becuase TKD and wrestling are DESIGNED for a sport setting. Ever see him do a flying scissors takedown? that's from TKD. But many times he ends up on his back and the other guy is able to stand up before him. Not very wise in the street.
The ha gow tin stacking I deny any responsibility for... it's clearly a genetic trait from "your people"... you just weren't aware they were "your people" until you were an adult :p
The sclaes? Well, can you fly yet? get back to me when you can fly!
Oh, regarding OCD, do you know that they have diagnosed the nerological sydrome that causes it (originates it), and like all latin long names it has an acronym
P.A.N.D.A.S
Pandas!
So blame Ling Ling of Xing xing for it!
Wait, did you say you LOST the urge to stack?
Don't sit there, go to the ER immediately! And if something starts sticking out of you lower abdomen, grab a knife and take a deep breath
Well it is true that different styles create power differently - but no one owns particular techniques. I mean what is the difference between a double leg takedown in shuai chiao and a double leg takedown in american folk wrestling? I don't know shuai chiao - maybe they create power or move in a different way than folk style american wrestling. As for the scissors takedown there is one exactly like it in the koy moon/opening the door form of northern shaolin.Quote:

So if CMA is suffering because it lacks this place for testing and sport it will be helped by san shou.
I don't need to see anyone come forward to vindicate CMA in san shou. But if you do then good for you. San shou gives CMA people an alternative to the UFC events. I'm happy about that.
When real kung fu is mastered, no can defend
you learn to levitate and double kick
