Yes, this is a rare one, seldom practiced by HK or China people but Taiwanese. It’s called the golden eagle style, and this is the double knife in the system, as compare to my wingchun baat jarm dao, this is very different in style. Cool contrast with the two~

My place is all packed with stuff, but I can do all my 80+ weapon forms here, long and short, doesn’t matter, as long as there is the weapon, I can do them even in a 10ft space~ hehe!
[QUOTE=Dragonzbane76;1092245]you seem to have a bunch of forms. Nothing wrong with that if your a collector. Do you ever spar or do any contact fighting?[/QUOTE]
BBBWWAAHHHHHHH !!! LOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLO!!!
Oh…you were serious…
haha you seem to have more knowledge of this guy than me. I’ve read some of his “celetial master” stuff but didn’t get to read through some of his other stuff, I thought for a moment I had missed a clip of him doing some actual contact.
Yes I did do sparrying and actual contact combat but that is not my main focus in kungfu, my main reason for doing kungfu now is for health and joy only, nothing else. If you want to fight, you found the wrong guy~

my question would be then…
if you have all these forms and collect them and then teach them for a price, how can you know that your not teaching “sh!t” if you never try them in pressure like environments? (sparring or hard contact)
because if you are teaching them and never try to associate them into contact and then sell them off to students for a price you are ripping people off IMO.
Yeah, actual fighting hurts and makes you sweat, that sucks.
Forms are safe, and most people can’t tell how bad you suck at them, but seeing you get your ass kicked or kicking your ass, that’s hard to hide.
LOL !
Well, there are different types of audience for kungfu you know? If you try to say all that stuff you said above to people who just like to do taichi for health, or they just do taichi to make friends in the park, or even they just want something to move around their body to get better health and not go stiff up in their 50s, they will tell you to get the hell out of their sights, you gangster boy!
Kungfu is not only about fighting, you are being too shallow on this subject my friend. Fighting is already my history, if you have gone pass that stage, you will find more joy and fun in another level as well.
When i was young, I used to challenge people like you guys, “hey, wanna fight me?! you black guy!” Then we get into a fight and kiss each other’s asses on teh ground and stuff like that. But after so many experience and different stages in life, you grow up and you think differently. Not everybody like to fight you know? I have taught so many people that don’t like fighting but they just want to do a few good forms they like for fun. So what? They are also doing kungfu as well. Why not? Don’t make fun of this part of the market as well.
can my kungfu fight? do I have to proof that to you? I don’t think so. I know it better than anyone else because I have fought myself in the past and I know where I am at, thanks for being so concerned though.
If people who teach a form without teaching the combat part means it is “sh!T” then that’s a big problem. There are many masters who teach in the park to elders for health and making friends. There are also people who charge $50-$60 a month for teaching taichi for health. If you think those are sh~T, your world of kungfu is just limited to fighting then. Too bad, but that’s not what kungfu is only about. Kungfu is also about fun, joy and pleasure. If you don’t feel doing a form is enjoyable, maybe it’s only you have not find a right master to teach you the art, it’s really fun and enjoyable to me and my students and so it’s not shi~T for us.

people who buy forms, are buying forms.
no one can purchase fighting ability.
It is clear cut and dried what must be done to become a good fighter.
That is to say, you must fight! lol Otherwise, you are a trainer, training yourself to train! In which case xzibit loves kung fu in that context.
No one looking to learn strictly forms is wanting to learn to fight and if they were, they already know how and are looking for something new, unusual or unorthodox that may work that they can add to their bucket of blood.
s’true.
there is no guarantee that any training you are given will work for you.
Just ask Brock Lesnar. When he lost that fight, did it mean his training was flawed?
Yeah, there are many people who watched too much movies, or even UFC and all that nowadays and only know fighting is the way to go. If you think that way, then go for the ring then, kungfu is not ONLY about fighting. Don’t forget there are many mom and dad in the world who do kungfu or taichi just for fun and they don’t care about the sh~T about fighting. Some dad even learn kungfu but don’t fight with them, if in life they gotta fight, they pull out a sig226 in their pants and go boom boom, you are dead. That’s it. I got a student who is like that too, he own a shotgun, some pistols, so… what does fighting mean now? is your fist lethal as a bullet? don’t be silly.
