that's Mr. Off to you...
"the street" - as in Wall Street? or as in the painting by Balthus? (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...Den%26sa%3DN); c'mon, this is just silly - you heard it from someone who heard it from someone, etc. etc. and like most stories within the TCMA community, it's basically no different from the "telephone" game we all played as kids; my perspective, at this point, is if you weren't there to see it happen, it is inherently suspect;
well, uh, that's good, I guess...
see, that's the problem: when you drop a claim, but are unwilling to cite the source, it's basically gossip; you decry talking sh1t - how exactly is what you claim not doing exactly that?
and therefore an excellent reason not to state it in the first place; besides, don't try to be so clever - the subtext of your comment is basically "I have some sort of beef with Ross, heard this negative thing about him, I chose to believe it because it fits with my personal agenda, and now I am repeating it because I want to make him look bad publically"; simply putting a disclaimer at the end doesn't count as a get-out-of-jail-free-card...
definition: publicly stating something about someone else that paints them in a negative light without providing a shred of evidence;
usage: Larro is a magnificent b@stard who sodomizes small woodland creatures
that's a very idealized perspective, but unforunately has no basis in reality (if you knew your TCMA history, you'd know that Chan Heung's original 18 disciples evidently hated each other's guts - so if anything, we are carrying on tradition very faithfully!) anyway, it's a lot of accumulation over a lot of years - it would reasonably be difficult for someone on the outside to understand
what you read in books is mostly BS when it comes to TCMA, especially in regards to stuff like dim mak, which is really nothing more than knowing where on someone's anatomy you are more likely to cause damage (e.g. - thoracic outlet neurovascular bundle), and training / conditioning your hands to hit those areas

My My I am realy flattered, You guys are still talking about me
As far as driving three hours to fight Dave or visa versa it is realy out of the way for both of us.
Consider this fact that Mike and others are well aware of this ,,,,years ago we had our fight and I took you down in seconds In fact it was so easy that I did it without having to hurt you. It was like fighting a 9 year old girl and I probably used less energy that the guy that tossed you off the lei tai stage.
Like I said back then I was in a bad place since I was recovering from my hip replacement and dave had the witt to check mate me and take advatage of the situation. Touche I lost that round.
Here is the deal I'm not making any chalenges here since you won the internet challenge and won it by default.
Buthe fact remains that I beat your ass a long time ago and have witnesses, unlike you who never got a chance to have a rematch.
In your own words, driving three hours to go to fight somebody at there convinience is a waste of my time since I already beat his ass.
And by the way I don't need to bring other people into this,, I haven't. If you ever want to redeem your loss you know where I am.
Dave if you want to have a Gong sao give me a call and we will set it up the old way based on a mutual location and time discussed over the phone or over yum cha. you know face face to face.
I don't have the time to waste on this blog and if you try to instigate me into San Da rules or getting in to my spedos you loose. My only terms if you decide to do this is no rules. and a time and place that we both agree on, mano y mano.
this is my final post you have my number.
