My name is Yuan ...

I think I like the sound of the chinese school. They teach bagua and xingyi and tai chi with sanda/sanshou (looking forward to it) as well as southern tiger and crane. I dont know if this is the crane with sanchin in it or not. he just said southern tiger and southern crane and invited me to visit ...

I used to train moy yat wing chun, then some shotokan.

now i am working somewhere so i cant train but soon it is back to university and i will have some time to dedicate to tmas.

I would like to continue with shotokan and wing chun it fits my schedule, but there is also a place in town that ...

i just realized i stink at karate anyway.

im 26 and turning 27 soon. i feel like a failure. how good can i possibly get?

I feel your pain... but is it really about 'how good can I get?'

Are you going to win national competitions? Probably not. Fill your house with trophies? Probably not. Become ...

There are a few "common sense" issues to consider in your choice, I think.

Still looks like a really cool dojo and I am not sure how to compare this with ...

IS there another way to contact Roy? I just met a former student of his. He showed me the RRB system. Fascinating!!!

Bill, dont u think the forward energy, and energy release in the limbs, upper and lower, the centerline concepts and the joint and partner work in ch sau and sticky hands is quite excelelnt. Does karate have an equivalent training method to wing chuns excercises?

karaTE definitely has the shifting ...

so u think jiu jutsu is the "deepest" art?

does it contain the aikido and judo stuff for the most part?

maybe packaged differently?

I thought BJJ was touted to be the most effective training iteration.

so did brazillians train in japan or did japanese teach in brazil?

How are cops and millitary people trained?

please discuss:

how do they compare?

my maestre just sent us this

simply beautiful

Does training like this give u the understanding to muster up finishing blows?


This reminds me of how I imagine a wing chuner to fight as well.

My problem with all of this, Shotokan, uechi, capoeira, is the lack of grappling. I see the beginning of grappling i nall these arts, but not as much as ...

thank you dana and bill
