OOPS
I just realized by your other post that your not a kung fu female.....foot in mouth...pulled the trigger on that one to quick
Anyway great post....thanks for the support & your honesty. You might come back and check out the internal program we have now...it's pretty awesome

All this talk of man-love an internal kung - fu is making me uncomfortable, man.
In truth, I'd like to se Meteor Fist. Would be cool. but I don't live near an SD school anymore. Plus, from what I remembere, tere's like 3-4 belts I'd have to earn in order to learn it or see it, unless I've mmistaken.
From one of your last posts, sounds like you're a lifer in the system. I know enough to know that that's quite an accomplishment. Congrats. Tell 'em to beef up their crane menu and I'll consider coming back to learn a thing or two. Wink....wink.....if you spot me a place to live, and a pool table, and some nachos......

"Is this an open invitation??"
Yes my door is open. I dont turn down challenges.
I live in Minneapolis, MN.
" LOL, I remember when I was 20 something, I was unbeatable as well"
I dont think Im unbeatable, Im just not afraid of losing. Sure, it sucks, but if you lose you learn something. I have knocked out, and been knocked out, Ive hit hard and Ive been hit hard, and in the end, even if someone who trains SD wins, does that mean that SD is good? No. It means that this particular fighter is, and chances are they would win using the same techniques found in just about every system, like a roundhouse, or a punch. Is that SD? No. Its general Basics that someone most likely trained in a fighting emphasis. Beat me with crane poses. Beat me with tiger claws. Beat me with spinning flying jump kicks, and magic death touch pressure points, or maybe with some awkward sideways punch/kicks, then I will believe.
But in any case, yes, my door is open for anyone wanting to cross hands, either nicely or meaning business, just decide your purpose for wanting to do so before contacting me.
And yes, real matches come of internet bickering, as is the entire point of bullshido.

The thing is, SD taught me these basics and the footwork and theory behind particular forms teaches me how to apply them. So if I "win" with a side kick, I can tell you that the footwork, timing, and combonations that led to that kick landing would come from my techniques and forms taught in SD. But I agree, it wouldn't be SD's victory or SD's defeat. Just mine as its my will and dedication that makes it all come together from theory to application.
Just a causual observation........any MA will improve you fighting skills if you work at it and apply it. However I think the only way to become a good fighter is to train to fight. It's as simple as that.
We had this one guy at CSC who came into the program with about a year of intense boxing under his belt. This guy was quick and strong. I have no doubt he could handle the vast majority of our BBs when he first started CSC.
Anyway, as I have mentioned, sparring is a very small part of the CSC program. MY one complaint was that we sparred without any coaching or feedback. I think it would have been nice it the Masters had walk around during the sessions and gave us a few pointers. They didn't have very much to say about it either during or after the sparring sessions.
I like to give the students feedback during sparring, and I often stop them in the middle of a match to make suggestions on what they could try to improve.
Last night I saw one of the brown belts execute some fairly difficult footwork in the heat of sparring that I had worked with him on last week. Those are the moments that make me smile and keep me teaching.
Words!
Just words!
You know I really hate to say it but quality of instruction at the Colorado CSC seems extremely substandard when compared to other SD, CDC areas.
