karate_woman Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Ahhh, I see. If I only had known their techniques a few years ago! I had a nasty run-in with a refrigerator, but I kicked it in the meat tray and managed to get away. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. -Lao-Tse
paolung Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 yes, you foolish mortal... had you known the ATTACKPROOF methods of combat, you could have used the kick of Master Ik Jo Kang. Master Kang not only could fight but also had the ability to kick a hole in a brand new Everlast heavy bag. "It is not how much you know but how well you have mastered what you've learnt. When making an assessment of one's martial arts training one should measure the depth rather than the length". - MASTER "General" D. Lacey

cymry Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Notice an Everlast bag. Doesn't "everlast" when Master Kang takes a shot!
Drunken Monkey Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 something else that is interesting. 'ki chaun do' in chinese is 'chi chaun fa' as someone mentioned. well, 'chi chuan' means 'forfeit/give up/i don't know/pass' 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."
cymry Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 You thik it might be referring to the whole yielding/energy manipuation thing?

Drunken Monkey Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 nah, just a guy who put two chinese words together thinking that the chinese language is anything like english... chi=breath chaun=fist therefore chi chuan SHOULD=fist of breath/chi or chi fist. unfortunately it doesn't quite work like that. ask a hong kong guy what 'fishing for crabs' is... 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."
cymry Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 I skimmed through the book awhile ago, and it idn't look too bad. i think I might buy it.
Drunken Monkey Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 i'm always a bit warey of things in books (can't stop buying them though) after all, in words and on paper, all styles are invincible. but then what the hell, i'm sure it'll be a good read and sometimes, that's all that matters. and as i've said before, even a 'bad' style has something to offer. in any case, if you do get it, let us know what you think. 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."
