Yeah, I was doing a black belt test. I had to spar a guy a couple of Dans higher than me. He was shorter and so was his kicks. One in particular to my "shorter leg and his nutty neighbors" Wham, I paused for milli-seconds, release a barrage of defenses/retaliation, and he went down almost unconcious. After I left (which it felt like I left something), I went to nearby medical clinic. It was days to clear up that hurt. Which can prove a point, groin shots doesnt mean that you, or a opponent is "Down-For-The-Count"

Just trying to stay on topic with the thread

Both Both Both

What do you KNOW about him?

Wow, I would have liked to... To have my books, magazines, movies, other items related to MA, a long list was prepared for insurance. The total, 3 years ago was at $6725.00 and some change. (The books and mags alone totaled near $3,000) I have been "following" Master McCarthy for some time.

MJ, that is a little graphic, to say kinky also.

Amazing, you find strength to shake it off. oO is that machoism?

One day, I would like to be there.

Yeah, a friend of mine introduced me to a guy that does it. We decided to spar, whack-I fell like the ground swallowed me.. But then I got used to his "rythmn" and rushed him. I kindly returned the whack. With his accent, he said I charged like a mad dog. But, in my old neighborhood, he would had tele his movement to that someone would have shot him to put him out of misery. His moves were quck-changing, seemingly off balanced, and deceptive. If he added other styles/systems, he would be very formidable.

Yeah, I value "my trophy", although my wife loves to rub it.

For the later, he is a good author. I have that book and many others (not only from him) The most favorable books I like seem to come from Tuttle Publications

Has anyone heard of Richard Plantas?

"Step right up ladies and gentlemen, this pill has all of the answers.."

Is that a Mandarin style? Isn't XingyiQuan Does it translate to "Shape and Mind Fist"? Any good links?

Yes, I knew that, I thre that out there for others

Yeah, like a adult toying with a child

The weak stance....

Friends and family give you cheap oriental gifts

How about: * When the mats are someome's old and thrown out carpet foam. * The mirrors are sheets of aluminum foil * The instructors best move is on your mother or girlfriend * The door welcome mat says "Welcome to Jeff's Tavern"
