Though I only spoke with Shifu Shenk about three times, he seemed to be a very cordial man. May God grant peace and strength to his family during this time!

I agree, the Nine Province staff set is a very nice traditional set. The Monkey staff set sucks in my opinion though.

Looks very cool. Please post the vids when you can. Your efforts are appreciated. :)
Its nice to see fighters really using their art instead of just b@stardizing it for competition.

Since LSW taught as a part of his military duties, I don't believe it is a stretch of the imagination to see him change the forms to make them better for physical fitness and combat. Lower stances...
And poison is still poison, as some jow recipes contain. Applied to areas where nerves and blood vessels are closer to the skin surface, like in the facial area, poisons can be taken into the body...
Definitely not!
The facial structure (nerves, muscles and skin) is much more sensitive than that of the hands. The nerves are also closer to the surface. Plus there is the chance of getting the...
Thx for posting those! I thought they were great. Barefisted and not wasting time rolling around on the ground like a couple of boys in heat.
The fighters may not have been the best in each vid,...
Friends,
I visited Mike's school last night and watched about 2 1/2 hours of classes.
Perhaps I am biased since Mike and I have been friends and kung fu brothers for about 20 years, but I was very...
The movements in the video are similar to movements found in the first Crane form that is taught in Fee Man Ong's Kwan Ying Do system. The application can be interprted as an overhead block that...
Monkey see, Monkey do,
We kick, we bite, we fling our poo.
So if you cross your hands with me,
Beware the wrath of Monkey pee

In Nu Hou Quan, techniques should be practiced at all levels (aerial, standing and ground). Grappling incorporates pinning and locking techniques using: the hands, the legs and the hands/legs...
Also Mr. Richard Tolson. In Response To Another Post On This Site. I Was Not Present The Day You Say Your Young Students Bested **** Pitt's 6 Year Students But I Did Hear About It. But To Claim That...
RAF,
I enjoyed the demo part of the tourney last year. :)
Did you guys put up any other clips?
Any idea when this year's tourney will be? If I am free from work that weekend I would like to...
Royal Dragon,
Carthamus, aka Safflower (Mandarin Hong Hua which means, "red flower") activates the blood, disperses blood coagulations and relieves pain. It effects the heart and liver meridians. ...
The Jing Mo organization would have really been disappointed in me if I were the Commander-in-Chief. After we destroyed their military I would have taken the spoils (their oil) and left them to...
Various teachers, I did not go to school for it. Nor am I licensed in the state of Ohio.
Yes, I have heard about the school in Columbus.
Our Monkey style includes massage, herbs, acupuncture and moxibustion. I have gathered a few bruise, iron palm and iron body formulas over the years. Though I have tried others, I use my own iron...
JDK,
I have two children, Serena (age 23) and Logan (age 11).
My daughter trained from the time she was three years old till she was about eighteen. So she trained about fifteen years. She...
As an NRA pistol instructor and CHL instructor in Ohio I push firearm safety and proficiency. And as a past sergeant (E-5) in the Northeast Ohio Defense Force I am trained with and teach the AR-15....
Having studied both Chinese and Japanese arts for decades, my studies have given me a strong belief in oneupmanship. Emptyhands were a last resort in ancient times. One only fought barehanded when...
Winterpalm,
Good insights!
We are not saying we don't use the moves. We are simply saying we don't face a streetfighter frozen in a Cat Stance. But yes, I would try to drop into a picture perfect Kneeling Stance while...
I teach stance training for one type of leg conditioning. I also teach stances as transitional movements. I believe that actual fighting must be more fluid and that when a stance is taken it will...
I finished the book today. All I can say is WOW! It was very hard to put down. I read it during my breaks at work and at home.
Did I hear there was going to be a movie?
I hope Matt has had...
