You said "Lift...
Strength is always important. It may not be the focus of the internal training, but it's always important, and it certainly can't hurt. Like I said, even for the sake of prevention... if you're...
That's some spectacular misinformation.
What kind of training were you doing? A bodybuilding regimen? Or a proper strength training one?
If all you do is pushups, eventually you'll be building...
Ya, most of the press she's getting give the impression that she didn't do any thing wrong, but it looks like she's really pushing the boundary of student/teacher relationships, and doing it almost...

I wouldn't want her teaching my kids.
I love how people come up with all kinds of ideas about what's "Likely" and "Probable" when they haven't the faintest idea of what would be necessary to for such a thing to happen.

I haven't been able to watch a whole episode this season.
At some point, I noticed that EVERY ONE of those guys is wearing an oversized UFC jersey, and insists on having their hats on either...
Does it bother you that something you wrote almost 6 years ago, and probably forgot that you'd written just popped up again?

This is the key right here. Sounds like you know what you're doing.
Just make sure that you set that expectation right from the beginning of the relationship.
You'll find that if you expect...
Yes, you're absolutely right. It's always everybody else's fault. It never has anything to do with your own inability to empathise with other people. :rolleyes:
You should check out the self help...
Ok, out of curiosity, how many of the people who train wing chun regularly here are taught that Chi Sau is the ultimate expression of the art?
And the second question: How many TRAIN as though chi...
You're absolutely rigth. I mean, the fact that he's losing to girls in BJJ obviously means that he's not training correctly.
The right way to go is to avoid fighting or hard sparring all together....
How about being able to use your skills against a GOOD fighter, in a venue / situation with as few rules as possible?
I guess this is ok if you don't actually want to be able to use your wing chun in a fight.
Otherwise it's just silly.
WTF? Refer to that other thread... "You're only as good as your...
I haven't read the book, but saw the movie that they made... I think it's a bunch of tree hugging hippy crap.
There's definitely a practical merrit to thinking positively, and knowing what you...
This is the hard way to go about it, but it's so much more satisfying.:D
I haven't seen every single UFC, but I know that in one episode of The Ultimate Fighter, one of the fighters (I forget which) took a high round house kick that ended up breaking his forearm, but won...
Well, you didn't really mention what the person did to **** you off, so it's a little tough to say what you could've done to handle the situation better.
