delta1 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Intellectual Departure... Huh? Never ever ever ever heard of it. How's it go?... Craziness. It's been a while, but let's see... defense against a right front kick... from a right neutral bow, pivot left into a left close kneel with a right inside downward palm down to the kick, forcing him to drop forward. Right back kick to the solar plex (or abdomen?). Plant back to a right neutral bow and immediately pivot to a right forward bow as you right back knuckle his right temple. May have to insert a foot maneuver to keep position. Man! I havn't done that one since my brother and me were trying to recreate some of this many years ago. Hope that was close. Any way, gives you a good idea why Mr. Parker dropped it. A lot of those older techniques, as well as some still used, were apparently (I've been told by some who were there) created in response to questions or requests made of Mr. Parker by his students. They were droped if they were redundant, or didn't fit well, or just if they were a little "Craziness". Freedom isn't free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerlineage Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 Hey! Are you mocking the craziness?! Thanks for the order thingy. So, as a Junior black belt, am I a Junior Associate Instructor? (haha)(don't you just hate puns?) If a brown belt is kyu, and a black belt is Dan, and I'm a Junior Black, am I a Dan-kyu? You're welcome! I love that. Cracks me up every time.

Drunken Monkey Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 hey. i mean absolutely no offence by this but i am fascinated by the names you guys have for movements. where do they come from? post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

delta1 Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 ...i am fascinated by the names you guys have for movements. where do they come from? You mean the technique names? They harken back to the Chinese method of naming moves. The chinese speak allegorically. Needle At Sea Bottom is primarily a groin strike in Taiji, and the Chinese refer to the perineum as the bottom of the sea. AK uses synonyms to represent different things, and the technique names use these synonyms in the technique names to help give a visual reminder of what the technique does. A branch is a leg, and Buckling Branch,... well, you figure out what the technique does. Freedom isn't free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerlineage Posted October 2, 2004 Author Share Posted October 2, 2004 Uh...just for randomness, here's where a lot of the name roots come from: Leg- Branch Hand- Twig Finger- Leaves Arms- Wings Club Attack- Storm Chop- Sword Hammerfist- Hammer Palm-claw- Claw Hair- Feathers Knife Attack- Lance Gun Attack- Rod Thrusting Palm Heel- Salute Headlock- Death Choke- Cross Ground- Danger Kick- Destruction To name some of the more common ones.

Drunken Monkey Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 well, i know how the chinese naming 'works' as it were. just curious as to how you guys define your terms. cool. makes more sense than the chinese poetic terms 'jealous concubine presents secret gift'....? WTF? post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

delta1 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 How about "Monkey steals peaches"? That's 'Peach' (we'll just let them figure that one out for themselves). And, how about "Repulse the *^#! Monkey"... Freedom isn't free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
