Drunken Monkey Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 i would've thought someone who holds a "black belt" in wushu would know not to call it "wushu kung fu"... and there's also an unmentioned "dislike" of wushu by traditional wing chun guys, mainly because wushu goes against everything you learn in wing chun... well, maybe dislike is a bit strong but you get my drift. 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."
massa Posted August 12, 2003 Author Posted August 12, 2003 and there's also an unmentioned "dislike" of wushu by traditional wing chun guys, mainly because wushu goes against everything you learn in wing chun...tell more about this. i start to learn wing chun a few months ago Help the world and I will help you
Drunken Monkey Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 well, even in a few months there would be a few things that you would have been told. simple, direct, no fuss/flash, no waste. almost everything that wushu isn't. ok, maybe time to clarify. my sifu has a lot of respect for those guys but as a fighting art, he doesn't rank them highly. more to the point, he isn't too keen when us kids are messing around trying to do wushu style flips and kicks and imitate things from films. he doesn't actually mind but he stresses to us that we have to be realistic and that we should be careful to not develop bad habits but then he always goes on to add, but if you can get it to work, then good... but damn... wushu does look good! 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."
Icetuete Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 but damn... wushu does look good! there r many cool moves, indeed.
massa Posted August 13, 2003 Author Posted August 13, 2003 where is martial arts (the person) now? well , so lets get back to the topic subject, anyone knows a person that went to china to learn kung fu Help the world and I will help you
Drunken Monkey Posted August 13, 2003 Posted August 13, 2003 well, i am always dubious about what happens in china. i hear a lot of bad stories about what it is like (lots of fakes, mcdojos galore etc etc). however, i am aware that the good stories are never told... 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."
Gino Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Massa, Sorry no I've never met anyone thats gone to China to do that and yes it appears we may of lost MartialArtist. Never give in
JerryLove Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 I've been to China and Okinawa a few times. I love it there.. great environbment, EXCEPTIONAL instructors (well duh, they are the masters of their respective systems eh?) Actually, I believe many of the lead CMA people are not in China. i hear a lot of bad stories about what it is like (lots of fakes, mcdojos galore etc etc). however, i am aware that the good stories are never told... The Chinese seem to see what they can get away with (as a generalizaion). They will attempt to give you relatively bad stuff unless you both establish that you know better nad threaten not to pay. OK, I admit that's from a few anticdotes, and I will not assert that it neccessairily applies generally; but it has been my experience / the experience of several I've spoken with and it certainly fits with the "common knowledge" regarding the Chinese national personality. https://www.clearsilat.com
Drunken Monkey Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 cos well, at the end of the day, martial arts is big business... if you have thousands of people coming to your doorstep offering you money to teach them something they have no clue about what would you do? 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."
