Drunken Monkey Posted June 2, 2003 Posted June 2, 2003 it is different these days. today, we go to a school and pay and expect to get taught. in the past, you would go to a school ask to be accepted and pray and if you are accepted, are expected to learn. it's a very subtle difference but it's an important one. these days if a student doesn't learn much he probably will blame the teacher. in the old days if you didn't learn much it was probably because you were lazy. the old chinese way was that when you join a school, it becomes your family. you actually lived at the school and took part in the running of the school. all of the titles (sifu, sihing etc are family terms). even when you have left the school he is still your sifu and they are still your brothers. 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."

Treebranch Posted June 6, 2003 Posted June 6, 2003 ah^gao well said brother. Modern people want it everything fast. Things that take time must not be good, is the Modern philosphy. Honor is dead.

Drunken Monkey Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 well, like the advert says good things come to those who waits. in our wing chun, the first thing we do is punch. week after week we punch. after about three weeks a lot of people will have gone. that 's when we start something else... well, slight exaggeration but you get what i mean. 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."
SandanPJ Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 There is more phoney crap out their today. In the past it would have never happened, other schools would have stood up to it. The Martial Arts in general has a mystic to it, and I think it always will. Combat is as old as time, so I don't see it being a trend. But Blackbelt is a joke in today's society. Anyone can get one, and few can back theirs up.
Drunken Monkey Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 wow, imagine if it were like china in the old days, "kick door" all over the place! sure would weed out the crap though. 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."
pvwingchun Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 From the ground up Only 3 weeks when I started I did the very first drill we learn for a month. LOL. Sifu would say work this and I will be back later to check on you. Twenty minutes later you would get a correction. After about a month give or take a week you got the second drill. But then one translation of kung fu means is hard work. Now we have students who after 2 minutes think they have got it and are ready for Chum Kiu. There is a little more give and take now in hopes of student retention, in the end they still get the same amount of training but it is broke up differently. There is a big difference between paying the bills and training in a garage and simply passing on the art. Wing Chun Kuen Alliancehttps://www.wing-chun.us
