Great to have you here.Welcome

Welcome to the KF...how did you get two belts

Welcome Taipeu to the KF..

NO...I never heard of your style..Is it similiar to Kendo? Welcome...

The head instructor does not name any of his teachers and what he studied and for how long.I doubt if he is certified from any of his teachers but mentions some organisation that recognizes him as a 5th degree black belt.There is no black belt in Chinese MA and no 5th degree in traditional MA.

WCK definetly has locks and throw how many I don't know I never counted.It will vary sifu to sifu and school to school.I personaly don't use to many as WC is mostly a striking art.

The first move on the mok jong works well for a hook punch.

My sifu has a school in Wanique,NJ we are a small private school .Our Style is Wing Chun.A very good style for self defense that does not use a lot of physical strength and excelent for women.Send me a PM or email me at wck108@usa.com for details..

Here is one of my sifu Jow recipes 1) Gui Mei (the tail ) 9g 2) Hong hua 3g 3) Gui Zhi 9g 4) Da Wang 9g 5) din Xiang 9g 6) Gan Zang 9g 7) Shang di 9g wang lien 9g 9) Song Xiang 3g 10) Tien Chi 9g 11) fang feng 9g 12) Zhi Zi 9g This will make about a pint use 2 to 1 (meaning to parts of alcohol to one part herbs) age at least 6 months min..If annyone makes let me know what you think of it..

Looks like a good school.I certainly give it a go.

The first problem people have with Chi is that there is not direct word in English to define it.The closest would be bio energy.Chi in Chinese is a generic term.There are many types of Chi's which makes it even more confussing to the beginner.Chi is simple energy the runs throught the body which comes from the food we eat and drink and also from the air we breath.All living things have Chi.The reason people don't believe in Chi is they have no direct experience with it.If you do then you won't need science to prove its exsistence.Think of it this way, if some one hit you in the head with a rock yuo would feel pain.After feeling the pain would you find a science behind it to validate your pain.No, you would need no proof as direct experience is all that is needed.This traditionaly how the chinese arts where passes down.If you practice Qi gong correctly you should feel your chi moving and later chi from your surrounding.When this happends you will know that Chi is real and it exsisits.

I found a TWC school here is the contact . Hilton Head - Sifu Kenny Robinson (843) 683-9816

Welcome....hope you like it here...

Welcome to KF

Welcome ChuckDavis I'm from Jersey also..

hello ArmorOfGod...what style do you practice?

hello Isshinryu_heart welcome to the forum

Welcome JKD

In eastern medicine mind and body are one.The physical body effects of metal state and the reverse is true.

Interesting...In the U.S. it's similar to UK. But in my school we never use master ,grand master etc. only sifu,si gung etc. which is not a rank but shows your and relationship within your lineage.

welcome fighterdude..can't wait to hear soem of your posts..

Welcome Obese_Ninja....

Your right I agree but now even alot of Chinese Sifu's are calling them selves master,Grandmaster,Great Grandmaster.I like the idea of the traditional family,but the Japanese and Korean styles have ranks and titles.Most traditional Chinese arts sadly are moving in this direction as well.

You could learn more about chin na from 7 seven star mantis or someother system as the theory of chin na is the same.It will be a aplaid a little different from style to style.In the mantis it uses the mantis hook which WC does not have.If you understand how chin na works you will see that WC has more chin na in it then you thought.

I believe Goju Karate comes from southern white crain of china.Alot of the movements are similar.
