the uselessness of kung fu (video)

[Big Rick Rock]

Thats fine , but until YOU have the , well , I would use the word Temerity but lets face it , BALLS to step up and challenge your Presumptions then youre nothing but an Empty Can making a LOT of noise .



Any time that were anywhere near one another I would be happy to show you holes in all systems mentioned , as well as a few in the ones that i study of wich you are unfamiliar . All of wich are holes that could EASILY get one KILLED in a Streetfight in the right (Commonplace) situations . If you had enough in you to show to a real school and learn NOT just what makes the systems DIFFERENT , but what makes them SIMILAR , I would be HAPPY to provide you with great ones near you .

But honestly , if you cant even educate yourself byu reading a Post you CHOOSE to remain Uninformed .

The problem with this is that you think that this is the state of someone that thiks themself worthy of giving out "Advice" on a message board . If youre not Interested in Educating yourself on Martial Arts , why Post in an Online Community then ? Just simply to Whore Out the arts you study ? This is a real question and Id like an answer .



None of the systems that I study lack in either Competition OR BATTLEFIELD Application . Just because the Competitions dont make as much money as the UFC dosent mean anything . The All Chinas were around a long time b4 Zuffa , bud . And again this is Condescending . What would you know about "Theory" ? "It all SOUNDS like "Theory" Till I hit you in the face with it" - One of my Teachers to a Challenger .

Theres nothign THEORETICAL in any of my classes , mate . We do Drilling , and Shadowboxing , and Padwork and Bagwork JUST LIKE YOU DO . Oh , and guess what ? MY version of a Heabag is made of WOOD . And YES I DO hit it full stop .




AGAIN you insinuate that ALL CMA SCHOOLS ARE McDOJO !!!

I would o to ANY NON-McDojo before I went to ANY McDojo - do you see how Ignorantly Condescending you sound ? Are you CAPABLE of seeing it ? Or do you LITERALLY NEED to have someone rom a Chinese system beat you into Unconsciousness before you can see the Efficacy of them ?

Oh , and Escrima is cute inside its own Element . What do you do when you have to pick up somethign on the fly that is bigger than that ? Learning the ng weapon as well as the short is best for Survival . And put an Escriador up against a Swordsman of the Nitten school and see what happens .




No , they arent opinions , on THAT you are CERTAINLY wrong . All that you have is Biased Speculation . Its funny that americans dont really know what the word Opinion means ...

You see , you can't have an Opinion on a Film till youve seen it , or on a Meal till you have tasted it .

You , sir , have never even Picked up the Fork .

Bro,


As I said before, I like variety and I like having guys who practice different styles here all sharing knowledge. But you are now going well out of your way to shove this CMA bullshit down our throats. I DO NOT WANT TO GO TAKE ANY CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS CLASSES. I have seen waaaaaaay too many McDojos making good money taking people's hard earned cash.


I have seen some of the links you have posted... I AM NOT IMPRESSED. Here... I'll post some of the stuff you have posted before:

The main Idea is that Shuaijiao , especially in its less sportive incarnations , is about Accelerating the Opponent into the Earth as violently as possible , and the use of Strikes are in Conjuction with the Throws in a VERY non-Aikido way - in fact they are used together to create damage that is more than the Sum of its parts . For instance Imagine Upending your opponent so that not only do you sent his head HURTLING tward the earth , but in that same moment you execuse a perfect "Feild Goal" kick to the same head that is crashing downward ... or following the same throw with the kind of Downward Punch or Elbow strike and torquing of the waist that you see used in so many Breaking Competitions ? Of course these are just a couple opf simply explained suggestions , but you can start to see how the movements together can do more dam than they would seperately . These Clips aree very Simple ,. and not all from STRICT Shuaijiao practitioners , but many CMA stylists are Crosstrained , and Shuaijiao and Kuaijiao permeate most of the Internals Systems pretty Thouroughly .

HOWEVER , the Crosstrained apps are gong to be a bit more Simplistic than the advanced Sahuaijiao-only man , but he basic Ideas/Principles will be appearant , and most of what I have shown SHOULD be familiar to you , as SJ/KJ is a great-great-great grandfather to JJJ .

Even in Striking , the Idea is about Manipulation of the Opponents frame ...

In those clips you posted a while back I seen some bullshit McDojo cats with $$ in their eyes kick some kid on the leg.... YOU POSTED THOSE LINKS

I tell you what, you post up a link to one of your "Shuaijiao" instructors doing something in comepetition or some real life stuff and I'll go check them out. Post up a single link or video that shows something REAL about the stuff you talk about PLEASE.... If you can find a good school in the NYC area with a GOOD INSTRUCTOR I can go train with... I will. But until all I have is you word for it... well that don't mean much.

You can jump up in the air scream and yell all you want about CMA, the bottom line is that I'm not going to waste my time going to CMA classes just to learn a small variation on a choke. I much rather spend my time perfecting the ones I know.

I also don't need to learn chinese sword fighting and crap. If i ever feel like I need to carry a sword around with me then I'll move to a different neighborhood.

I'm going to go against my better judgement and actually post links to the wedsites and instructors I have in the past trained with here in NYC. I'm very protective of my identity but since I do not attend classes at these places anynore since I'm not working full-time in NYC anymore, I think it will be OK. I have found other instructors in my are where I spend my time training.

This is the Kru I was with for quite a while, one of the nicest people I have ever met:
http://www.muaythai-nyc.com/fighters_KruPhil.html

This is another top notch instructor.
http://www.muaythai-nyc.com/fighters_Kamuti.html

I never go to train with him, he left to the Navy before I arrived at the school but he is a product of that camp:
http://www.muaythai-nyc.com/fighters_Ajay.html


This in the Master I learned some of the basics of Muay Thai from. I trained under him at the Renzo Gracie academy in NYC. I had some previous Boxing and Kickboxing experience when I arrived at his door step but he opened my eyes to traditional Muay Thai.
http://www.elbowko.com/

Some videos for you to check out:
http://www.elbowko.com/vdoclip/vdo1.htm

There are a couple of clips there of Master K doing demonstrations. One is at Battery park, and NO he did not kick some kid on the leg like the McDojo guys on the video you posted.

I never wanted to talk about where i trained or who I trained with since I need to keep my identity a secret from certain assholes (not getting into it) but since, I'm not in NYC full-time anymore so I don't attend these schools and it's ok for me to post them up.
I do train MMA at another gym in NYC right now a couple of times per month. I go there mostly for the sparring since the guys are game and don't have big egos.


Please show me something.

Bro,


As I said before, I like variety and I like having guys who practice different styles here all sharing knowledge.

No you dont ,- well , not by your Actions anyway - but it sounds like the Politically Correct thing to say , dosent it ?

But you are now going well out of your way to shove this CMA bullshit down our throats.

Brother , the fact that you THINK that that is the issue here if funny as all hell . All - ALL I asked you was to shut the hell up about that wich you do not know . Stop your Style-bashing and get over your predjudice until such a time when you CHOOSE to go test yourself Firsthand against that wich you decry .

I dont "Promote" CMA NEARLY as much as Tom does Judo , dont see you whining at him about it . He Does it , he likes it , and he Promotes it , I think thats cool .

The difference between he and you ? HE dosent try to talk Smack about systems he dosent understand . And he ESPECIALY dosent do it based SOLELY onNational Origin , the way that YOU DO . What youre doing is more BIGGOTED than anythigng else , because you wouldnt know the difference between Xingyi at its Highest level and the Crappiest Wushu if it slapped you in the face ! AND you PRETEND that you DONT CARE . But if you DIDNT you wouldnt put out so much effort into your Racially Biased Slander . And yes , saying stuff like the very NEXT quote from you IS Racist in origin , weather you like to hear it or not .

I DO NOT WANT TO GO TAKE ANY CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS CLASSES.

Then stop talking Potty-Mouth about CMA until you do . Its really that simple .

I have seen waaaaaaay too many McDojos making good money taking people's hard earned cash.

How can you have seen ANY such thing when you yourself admit that you hae NEVER bothered to walk through the door of ANY CMA school EVER ?

Do I deny that there is a McDojo issue in CMA ? Nope . But you trying to insinuate that because something is Chinese it MUST be McDojo is bullshit , and you know it . There are plenty of good schools out there with great teachers .

I have seen some of the links you have posted... I AM NOT IMPRESSED. Here... I'll post some of the stuff you have posted before:



In those clips you posted a while back I seen some bullshit McDojo cats with $$ in their eyes kick some kid on the leg.... YOU POSTED THOSE LINKS

Jump off it . We went in LENGTH about what shit ALL Demos look like , and how you were only supposee to get a SENSE of the techniques from it , Re-read the THREAD .

I tell you what, you post up a link to one of your "Shuaijiao" instructors doing something in comepetition or some real life stuff and I'll go check them out. Post up a single link or video that shows something REAL about the stuff you talk about PLEASE....

it was made pretty clear to everyone that I had better clips on my comp just with no way to Host them and I offered to P2P them to anyone that asked . In fact the last links (the Competition ones) were De-activated By John Wang .

If you can find a good school in the NYC area with a GOOD INSTRUCTOR I can go train with... I will. But until all I have is you word for it... well that don't mean much.

Ill go you one better . MY Instructor trains in NYC area (Jamaica queens areound the Grand Central Pkwy an 150th) . He JUST re-opened his school for us to Drill in (its as yet unfinished and far too much of a Safety hazard for Sparring yet , but sparring is easy to come by these days , if its what you want - we al know who can beat Whom anyway - we tend to work more on Skills and Drills ...

You know WHAT ? He JUST started to Teach Baguazhang ! We are NOT that far along in the course (not to the point where we need to be thinking about Sparring yet) We Train TEUSDAYS and FRIDAYS at 7:30 , And with the POSSIBLE exception of 13 days from now - trip to Boston where I hope to see Jason Yee at Boston San Shou and Sityodtong Muay Thai Gym - I plan on making EVERY class ! (you know , if the wife lets me ) I drive in from PA , and Ill pick you up on the way . You can ask him ANYTHING you LIKE , and you can Try him if youre not more than 100 lbs heavier than he is (Ive never seen him refuse ANYONE but me , but Im 250 lbs heavier and he STILL does MOST things with ease to me) the Class Fee is only $30 (theyre over 3 hours long) and if you still have LEGIT criticism afterward or if you can Break his science Down with Muay Thai (wich you said was he BEST Standup system) Ill pay your way .

I would ONLY ask that you didnt go it with a crappy , Eliteist Attitude , and that you ask PLENTY of questions about ANY LITTLE THING that you dont Understand . Dont leave there with ANY question Unanswered , because he breaks EVERYTHING down . Even if its just "Why Should I study this over Muay Thai ?" (he has much Respect for Thai Boxing) ASK the question in a friendly way and he will open up whole new worlds to you . I HEAR you when you say that you are not Interested in STUDYING CMA , but you can pretend to be for 3 hours to get the FIRSTHAND SCOOP on it .

I DEFY you to try ONE class and try to HONESLY claim that you didnt Learn Something ! Oh , he LOVED the last one of Master K's pupils that he met ! No Joke , hes always asking after the guy ! You tell me the day you want to go , and Ill PM you my Cell number !

Im SO calling your BLUFF ! Dont back out now !

You can jump up in the air scream and yell all you want about CMA, the bottom line is that I'm not going to waste my time going to CMA classes just to learn a small variation on a choke. I much rather spend my time perfecting the ones I know.

If it were Just about that I would NOT spend HUNDEREDS of dollars a month and SIX HOURS of Driving time PER CLASS just to Train with him . Theres SO much more to it . Dont nit pick solitairy Examples . Its a poor Tactic .

Besides , no one asked YOU to go . You were ONLY asked to stop detracting OTHERS from going and learning from the best near them . Youre in NYC , so perhaps you dont know that some places in the US they dont have EVERY MA IMAGINABLE in EVERY Location and SOME ppl MIGHT jus be getting their BEST Education frrom a Chinese Source . YOu slandering ALL CMA might just stop them from going to the lesson that would otherwise save their lives .

I also don't need to learn chinese sword fighting and crap. If i ever feel like I need to carry a sword around with me then I'll move to a different neighborhood.

Yeah , Because you NEED to carry a SWORD ? The Sturdy end of a Pool Cue or Broom Handle works just as well in the same Scenario . Or a Piece of Rebar ... or a Center Devider .... hell and Umberella ? But youll NEVER find yourself Outmatched/numbered and in need of understanding the basic Principles of Weaponsplay , huh ?

Oh , and lets not forget Knife Fighting ... and the Staff ...

but he teaches seperate Weapons Classes , and I dont even Bother with them , but I would if I were Closer , I suppose .

I'm going to go against my better judgement and actually post links to the wedsites and instructors I have in the past trained with here in NYC. I'm very protective of my identity but since I do not attend classes at these places anynore since I'm not working full-time in NYC anymore, I think it will be OK. I have found other instructors in my are where I spend my time training.

Dude , I dont care if your Donald Trump . Im not "Out To Get" you to do ANYTHING except stop talking Trash about what it is you dont know about . Im not looking to Ruin your Career , hit on your Wife , Beat you up or Toilet Paper your House . Besides that fact , well , see below ...

This is the Kru I was with for quite a while, one of the nicest people I have ever met:
http://www.muaythai-nyc.com/fighters_KruPhil.html

PHIL is a SWEATHEART that I have nothing but Respect for . HE is actually ONE of those "Ten Other Classes Outside My System" that I was REFERRING to ! I Also think that Wat was BEAUTIFUL , though it unfortunately suffers in size due to its Location (hey , its NYC - whaddyaghonnado?) . I also made many many Swear Words due to the fact that my Friend didnt tell me that the class itself would require a Jumprope and there wasn one in the house big enough for me , so I KEPT on Cracking the CRAP out of my Toes .

Phil and I share the same Taste in Reggae Dancehall Music , and even though I showed up just a couple of Weeks from being Medically Released afyer THREE YEARS off , he didnt give me an Undue amount of Guff about being out of shape , though I did last MOST of the class . I ALSO got to see him use is Patenteds Kip Up ON MY FRIEND ! (a guy his height that Semi-regularly trains up at Coban's and runs a school here in my town - we went with a Third friend that goes up there whenever he can Affoard it - Wat Fridays , then Coban's for the Wekend)

This is another top notch instructor.

I dont need any "Clips" of K . Im GREAT friends with one of his LONG time students ands Fighters , and I See K all the time at events nd whatnot . Wever had MANY discussions about Fighting , Sportive and Otherwise , and I really think hes a Nice guy , and A Good Fundamentalist . I think that his style isnt really workable for everyone , however , I think people whom are more Natural Counterfighters have trouble doing things his way .

Oh , and K had no problems with kicking ppl in their legs from what Ive seen .

And his Daughter is the sweetest thing EVER , even though she had NO reason to be to me (Most small women just RUN when confronted with my monstrous ass in a Parking Lot at Twilight - she was NOTHING but Sweetness and Light ! And SO beautiful !)

I never wanted to talk about where i trained or who I trained with since I need to keep my identity a secret from certain assholes (not getting into it) but since, I'm not in NYC full-time anymore so I don't attend these schools and it's ok for me to post them up.

Frankly , nothing that you have said Changes anything . I KNOW the ppl that youre refferring to , and NONE of them has expressed the Attitudes that you have about TCMA . In fact , most of them have the OPPOSITE of your Opinions on the matter , and MANY of them have worked closely with CMA ppl a one point or another . I hear NOTHING but Respect from them about "Real Deal" CMA from them > Of course they spit on McDojos , everyone does . But NONE of them have come off like you have on the subject , Nor hve any of their STUDENT that Ive met , so Im TRULY suprised that they are your Foundation .

Please show me something.

PM me the info to the school in NY you are talking about, I might come by and check it out. Not really interested but in the spirit of keeping an open mind I just might check it out.

Try to lay off the insults, it takes away from the content of your posts. If you toned down on the personal attacks your posts would be at least 60% shorter then I might actually read them instead of just skimming over them. I'm sure other people would too. So far any real information in your posts has been drowned in a sea bullshit insults aimed at me.

BTW- Due to some issues in the past we have a closed office policy so the road trip is out of the question. If George ever allowed me to meet a member it would not be some MA guy but rather this cute chick from the chat forum that keep flirting with me and sending me pics. I hope you understand.
