I've just learned Sifu Kwong Wing Lam passed away this morning. He was a good man and an excellent Sifu. He'll be dearly missed.

From the collection of one of the best sources of vintage CMA clips I've found, the DPGDPG Youtube channel.
Are we really calling those events "Eastern sports"?
That being said, sounds like it'd be fun to watch. :D
If a TCMA guy were to accept his challenge and knock him out with a solid straight right, I'd bet dollars to donuts it would be met with cries of "that was an MMA/Boxing/Muay Thai move, not TCMA".

This IS how it starts, man. Manipulation through sex, classic espionage trope. Skynet has started infiltrating our engineering community. Soon our engineers will turn against us in the name of the...
I had to share this somewhere. I thought it was genius. This group goes rapid-fire through songs sung by dudes getting over relationships, from 1960 to present (actually, 2011).
I couldn't stop...
In my opinion, no. Not in the context of a martial art in practice. If we look at "pure" as meaning untainted and unchanged, it can't exist and survive in an individual. "Pure", as I'm...
I remember seeing it included in some skater video (I think) years ago. It's important to note that it was some dude twice the size of anyone in the group he was attacking starting sh!t because one...
You were here first, bro! :p
Congratulations, Chris! I told ya, you looked good up there :p
(this is the other Chris :D)
Awesome. Congrats, Gary! :cool:
Sun Tai Chi contain elements of Ba Gua and Xing Yi. To my knowledge, there is no Sun Ba Gua (that is to say, there was no individual style of Ba Gua that was developed and propounded by Sun).
You...
Right? Every time I see video from out there, it makes me want to be an astronaut.
C'mon now, that's pretty sweet:

I'd consider that preferable. IME, there's three ways to respond to a striking attack: attack it, avoid it, or "accept" it. The former is preferable in situating yourself as the controlling party,...
I was once told not to "block" an incoming strike, but to "accept" it. I really like the term "accepting" in that context.
I'd agree with that. Chambering at the hip "breaks" your arm at the...
I always felt this was yet another reason for the chambering in traditional martial arts. The pull back with one hand is as much part of the training as the punching forward with the other. Roughly...
You've piqued my curiosity, I have to admit. I would give it a whirl if it wasn't for my crappy connection..takes me about 15 minutes to dl a 4 MB song.
Going off the gameplay footage, I can...
From that site, I thought it was a funny pitch. Isn't everyone already a character in a persistent world? :p
Saw a banner ad for this and it caught my eye (because I've never seen a game with "wushu" slapped right in the title), a new MMORPG based on wuxia stories:

Throw a hook. :D
Plus I'll get kicked out of the library! :eek:
This is why I post so rarely...I just lurk and scream at my computer.
