wing chun kuen man Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 MasterJules, Are there more than one english translation of the Bubishi? If yes. Is there one that you recommend more than the others? Wing Chun Kuen Man Real traditional martial arts training is difficult to find.....most dojos in the west are Mcdojos....some are better and some are worst....but they are what they are....do you train in one?
Isshinryu88 Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 I'm pretty sure that there are two different books referred to as Bubishi. The one that you are referring to is one that has been handed down from teacher to student. The student hand copies his teacher's text. This is different from the thirtry volume set and is not a condensed version of it. Patrick McCarthy has a very good translation of the Bubishi.
Master Jules Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Good idea...... ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy"

I have that book and many others (not only from him) The most favorable books I like seem to come from Tuttle Publications
Master Jules Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 I met Master McCarthy back in January of this year, and was fortunate enough to have conversation with him. He truly is a scholar, and an absolute gentleman as well. ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy"
47MartialMan Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 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.
Master Jules Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 In Atlantic City, New Jersey, they host the Action Martial Arts Magazine Black Belt Hall of Fame induction awards every year at the Tropicana. Got to https://www.actionnetworks.net or https://www.theactionarena.com for more info.....Im sure Master McCarthy is there every year. I met him this year during my induction. ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy"
47MartialMan Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Yeah, far for my travel. Anything closer to the south? Texas, Louisiana, Miss, Ark, Tenn, Ala, Fl, NC/SC Carolina?
Master Jules Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Nothing that I know of, but I will tell you that this thing is huge....people from all over the entire country come for a 3 day event. It was amazing how many thousands of people were there. ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy"
47MartialMan Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 Right now, I dont have that luxury of time....too many thing going on.
