My teacher says smiling gives the audience the wrong impression but I smile every time I compete in forms or fighting or demo.
As for the Alan Lee vid I found it entertaining and informative. I however was taught TCMA inna different fashion. We use less flower and more meat.

smiling can have a great effect in a fight though. who wants to fight the guy that smiles and giggles when he hits you in the mouth? or even worse yet, when you hit him in the mouth and he cracks a grin.

Amen brother!
Luk hop Kuen, I do a warm up very similar to your spinning exercise, so close its funny. I use it to get some blood flowing after a bit of stretching. Try throwing in the behind the back, over the head spin, like the one practised with 3 section staff to add a horizontal dimension.

Fancy hands and embroidery legs.
BUT, taking it in an historical context, it was new, different and evolving, it was also a public demonstration with an objective. The sparring was class sparring, not cage fighting, and as thus, compared to say, Tae Kwon Do club sparring, it was perhaps a bit more interesting.
Big negative - no hands. Common foot techniques, little depth. Nothing scary.
Jamison made some good points.
The difference between a rubber practice knife and an edged blade is not in how you use them, but in the result.

Ask your punch drunk brain to lead your hand and mouse to my profile and then click.
Not if you were training in a Mcdojo!Originally Posted by golden arhat
And it seems that you know that already as you do not list your "traditional martial arts" experience in your profile....LOL.
I would ask you to please start with simpler exercises such as clicking on my profile before burdening your fragile brain with demanding tasks such as reading a clock.Originally Posted by golden arhat
Ok lets put it this way. Either you studied at Mcdojos or you are not ready to train the TCMAs in any serious manner, even if you were exposed to the real stuff.
Also because of my interaction with you in the past plus the fact that you seem to be clueless about TCMAs and their functionality AND that you don't even mention them in your profile leads me to only one conclusion.
