First picture - don't you guys kick in your style? The fat boy is standing square on to his opponent ( the skinny boy). Seems fairly exposed. There are other picture where the crotch is desprately wide open.

Third picutre - what sort of block is the skinny boy doing? you'll break your wrist blocking a punch like that!!!!

[hskwarrior]

you don't deserve my comments

[hskwarrior]

you know nothing of choy lee fut. so shut the eff up or do something about it.

all you know how to do is talk shet. you have no gung fu skills, if you did, they would still suck because you come from a long line of poosies.

Green **** mist, i will let you challenge the "FAT BOY" to a match and i will laugh in your face when he leaves you in a pile of your own shet because that fat boy is powerfull as hell.

i konw i know i shouldn't be feeding into this trolls bs. but he gives such great head.

Wow, dude. Lets give them some credit where credit is due.

First. The fighter's names are Neil and Jason. Neil is the big guy. Jason is the smaller guy. I got this out of the photos.

Second. your comment about standing square and exposed. This is a sparring match with continuous movement and they are still photos. I bet I could take a series of pictures of almost anyone sparring and see flaws.

Third. It was stated that these guys are newbies. But there they are sparring, attempting take downs and using elements of the style. That's cool.

Last. You mention the third picture and criticize the block. The picture is named take down attempt. His leg is also raised as if he's going to try a sweep. No offense, but you sound pretty ignorant with this comment.

green_willow: It's pretty obvious that you really don't know what you're talking about based on your comments. Maybe you should just not say anything because you're embarrassing yourself.

HSKWARRIOR: The pics are great man. It must be pretty cool to see your own students out there using the stuff that you taught them. Nice work. Keep the photos coming.

Oh, and nice work Neil and Jason.

Mr. Frank, nice pics. Can you shoot some video. Those guys looked like they were having some fun! Post it up, Bro'!

[hskwarrior]

Lama and Chief fox,

wow that sounds like the making of a new kung fu movie.......Lama, and Chief Fox!

anyways thanks for you kind words. my students do have fun sparring, and it is them that wants to do it. If you look on Neil's face you'' notice he's smiling because they actually attack each other pretty hard.

Mike, as soon as i get a video camera i will shoot hella video. those guys were sparring continuosly for an hour straight and having a blast. i put the gloves on neil so he doesn't hurt little jason, but all my students like to spar neil due to his size. maybe its the napoleon complex?

Cheif fox, your right jason went for the take down but neil is 315 lbs of solid mass and he sank into his horse and thwarted jason's attempt.

i don't like my guys wearing gloves because out on the street you have none. i like them to wear street clothes because that is what they will be wearing out on the streets, or in a club. so i want them to get used to sparring in street clothes.

however, my favorite shot was the one where Neil was walking away with a smile on his grill, and jason was left on the floor defeated. that was cool.

yes i love to see the fruits of my labor. as i stand back and watch them spar, i say to myself, hey i taught that to them, and they are using it. effectively too.

but thanks for your support, haters will be haters. and i know i shouldn't buy inyo what trolls say.

thanks guys.

regarding the openings and exposures,

your're right Chief, i had a digital camera where you have to hold the button down for a second and most of the times i missed good shots. every single photo of their sparring session was in action. i did the best i could and will have to go get a disposable camera for instant photos, no pausing waiting for the flash.

so while something is live action, things can be misinterpreted or even seem to be missing a few elements. but the point to get across was that i make my guys sparr, we hit the focus mitts, we utilize the big banana bag and do drills, and even practice forms.

in the pictures i didn't see anyone practicing their forms while sparring!

thanks folks.

You guys like to start out in bow stance?

Just wondering, since it's not something I feel very comfortable doing.

[hskwarrior]

infrazael,

nah, we start out in whatever stance we feel comfortable in. actually due to the coloring in his pants it looks like he's in a bow stance (what we call a "T" horse) but really he's basically leaning forward weight on the front leg and his back leg is bent with about 20% weight on back leg. He does that in case he wants to shoot forward. all he has to do is launch.

alot of the times we used the intercept blocks while launching forward or diagnally. sometimes we'll block in retreat, or even continue our strikes while retreating. not too many schools out there teach how to fight in reverse.

picture this, the guy comes charging in barrelling down on you instead of caveing in, you have to the opportunity to defend or attack in reverse depending on the situation and who you are fighting, streetwise i mean.

personally i believe in developing your defensive skills equally to your strlking skills, as the old shaolin saying goes "defend like a virgin, attack like a tiger"
and if you can't be touched no matter what you can't lose. at least thats what i reach to achieve.

[Shaolindynasty]

"backyard" sessions huh, I always have allot of fun with those.

I had one question. You mentioned above about the gloves. I am wondering how you have your guys spar when they aren't wearing any gear? what types of contact target areas etc.

[hskwarrior]

Shaolin Dynasty,

I see everything first and foremost for street combat. So when i have my students spar with no equipment they are learning a few things. the first is control, i encourage them to always try to land on your target but lighten up a little. i tell them to intend to hit your target, and if you do then good for you and bad for him. its not your fault if the other couldn't defend against your blow. there are two jobs going on at one time. while one gets to practice his strikes thu this type of sparring, while the other gets to practice his defense.

all targets are open as long as nothing was done with mallice. trust me there has been blood, and will be more in the future but they understand its all part of training. a fat lip here and there, and actually my student jason has a small cut or serious scrape over his eye from last night. they are taught to strike any and every available opening whether in the body legs of head, if its open go for it.

having them sparr this way for a little while then start training them for the ring will allow them an advantage since they train barehanded when they put gloves on they know they will be better off now and lessfearful. get em used to fighting with gloves and i might have some cool ring fighters.

maybe.

here are a few more from last night
