If you really think that, kung fu is worthless, why are you on this forum? A shout out to all of you non-Kung-Fu forum members. If kung fu is so worthless, why do you get on this web page and spout...

It depends on what you mean by different styles. Are you implying that the practitioner has different moves all together, or has a different way of approaching combat?

I think you might be...

Judging by the insight of the members of this forum, it would be a great idea to have persons that don't understand each individual style critiquing and altering said style to conform to their ideas.

You might try asking your instructor for more sparring time.

In regard to you being over 35 and wanting to spar, take it easy and fight only people you know have control. Expect most or your...

Most people believe the only way to learn something; you actually have to have a teacher. If that doesn't fit in for you, you could get all of the back issues of Kung Fu Magazine and study the...

Wow, the comments about "if there were no other humans would you still do martial arts" are very thought provoking. I wonder how many MMA/UFC ers still do martial arts into the later years of their...

Shouldn't you have started a different thread regarding this? :eek: ;) :D

Calm down Francis.

The funniest thing I ever heard was this Tai Kwon Do guy telling people he knew how to fight. :: Poke with stick :

But is the problem that secrets are expensive or that money isn't buying the secrets?

I hear complaints that lack of money being given is what prevents instruction and that no matter how much...

Not really, you publicizing this whole ordeal has made me want to make certain I do not upset my Sifu.

That never works. :p

"boot to da head" "na na na naaaaa" ;)

No, Bo Hou Chuan is superiour, I won all my fight, but they were against no name local boys. :p

No, I don't think a strike with stop someone, that is why I don't rely on playing tag with my...

The point isn't that poking the eyes is easier than hitting, the point is if I take your throat out, you quit fighting. I don't have to worry about following through with more punches. We all know...

Kung Fu teaches you to take the easy way out fighting ie. punch the throat, hit the eyes, small joint manipulation, groin strikes, arm breaks, knee breaks, and other things intent on not allowing...

Yep, we are agreeing. :) Still in guard position, as you turn your front shoulder back, it drops your hands, it also drops your shoulder. I guess I am talking about very slight drops though. If...

I took this to mean a slight drop of the hand. You are right, never drop the hand enough to weaken your defense. But that slight dip (less then an inch) will be noticed just in turning your...

The "counter turn" at the waste is what drops the hand. That is used to help generate more power as you are using the added twisting force from your upper body as well as your lower body.

Doesn't higher level mean you are standing on something or are upstairs? :rolleyes:

I have never really thought about skills as higher or lower level. I just looked at them as understood...

Not everyone is worthy of an MIT education. That isn't MIT's fault. But you are right, there are other schools and MIT shouldn't stop you from improving yourself.

Bo Hou Chuan

Might be better worded last couple hundred years. Swords were still the weapon of choice in 1005.



I would rather get cut by a sharp blade than a dull one. The dull edge will leave messier...

I would like to opolgize for the hijack of the other thread, that was not my intention, I am sorry. Please, if you know the answer to that question, go there.

Bo Hou Chuan is a martial art. It...

I am sorry, I did not mean to come off as a troll.

I am in the progress of working up a web page with my superiors and brothers. It will articulate our system and it's history. I also hope to...
