LOL this got me. Time flies.
Well I have a few but not all are unarmed:
“The Immortal pointing the Way” is in a jian form called Dragon Shape Sword
“Serpent Turning Around” there is a bagua/silk reeling exercise called...
Back in the day, all the Kung Fu coming to the states and movies out of "hong kong" cinema was Cantonese. So much so that in the late 80s/early 90s if your plan was to train on the west coast or in...
Clicked on thread thinking I for sure misunderstood the title... I did not.
Come to Kung fu Magazine Forums for the Kung Fu talk, stay for the wack job socioeconomic commentary
I hate that i missed the Miami Connection joke in this article from months ago. Hey Gene isn't the only one that can post in zombie threads.
but who endorses catching a round kick below the knee at the apex of it's swing? I like my arm bones to remain intact.
Right. We're not saying different things here.

It's not always about how long you've been there, but whether or not you've gotten a firm enough grasp on your other material. If you don't, then why should you get the next piece?
But to the...
wow that was one of the first issues of the magazine I ever bought. Crazy that we're all (Lilly Lau included) getting old.
Yeah but with 900% more bowing.
Negative, Ghost Rider, I'm on the other side of the country.
My teacher loved to put on weird demonstrations for crowds. Bottom block breaks, bed of nail concrete breaks, etc., but he never pretended it was anything other than a physics trick.
I mean that's cool and all, but for real, where did that get a sheet that big so quickly?
That lineage is... well you know that's Shaolin-Do's right? Except it also isn't. Weird.
small cannon fist indeed.
