If you can’t go to maryland, then you can’t meet Ralek at his pond…
Someone starts a “where is Ralek” thread,
and in less then a week Ralek appears?
Does anyone find this strange?
Nice to have you back Rolls
Skard1
I think it’s a mouse-elaphant thing. Ralek is like eleven feet tall, so a wrestler is a big threat to him
Cool Fa_jing. Lemme know what’s up.
MERRY…****it…I was trying to get RALEK to roll with the YAMASAKI boyz…lol…that’s there VA location. I work out there but I train with those guys once in awhile on Sundayz!
Fajing…what times will u be FREE to work out…I’m very curious about the entries of your wing chun. I use to train in WILLIAM CHEUNG cult…I mean org…so I’m hoping to demonstrate to u the superiority of TRADITIONAL WING CHUN over yourz…unless u crosstrained with EMIN. hehehe.
I have not read the “where is ralek thread”. I really havn’t been here at all, not even reading posts.
Merryprankster. Maybe we can all meet at Legends school? What day? Maybe 2 weeks from now or something. What day can you go? I should be able to find the place. But No_know sounds very interesting. I want to go on a day that No_know can make it.
This coming weekend is not good for me but after that i should have free weekends.
We don’t have to meet at LEGEND’s school but that sounds like a good place. I really want to spar with some new people.
Jun_erh. I have my methods for defending takedowns. I am a butt scooter. Butt scooting totally neutralizes any takedown from any style. I don’t care if your judo, wrestling, sambo, or tai chi. Butt scooting is the perfect take down defense. No one in the history of martial arts has ever took down a butt scooter. Lot’s of people like to make fun of the scooters but me and many other scooters take scooting very seriously. It’s a viable means of takedown defense.
Merry, Ap and Ralek…no probs…it’s a $6 guest pass…I was invited by some of the YAMASAKI guys to train there…usually they start rolling at 12 or 1. It’s not a CLASS it’s a bunch of whites, couple of blues and maybe a purple doing stuff no gi. I have seen them to light vale tudo…working more on tech than actually striking…let me know what sundayz so i can hang! I haven’t rolled inawhile either. WORK and SUMMER SKOOL.
The Yamasaki people??? cool. That would be a good place to meet. Shaolin Tiger trains at the Yamasaki school. But i think he trains with Yamasaki himself in D.C.
Any place is good for me. As long as it’s not tooooo far away. I just want to meet No_know.
i’ll be too weak for much sparring for another five months or so, but if a couple of you get togeather outside of class at some point i’d try and make it down to meet some other kfo nerds.
No_know. Will you come? I think it would be a good idea to meet in a school indoors because someone called the police when me and shaolin tiger were fighting in the open at the park. Then this stupid bicycle police man rode right by us when me and shaolin tiger were sitting on a bench talking. I tried to hide the blood on me. It’s a good thing we stopped fighting before he came. It was really funny. He had his radio thing on and i heard them say that they saw two guys fighting. He never suspected us becuase we were sitting there non-violently talking. My hand looked really messed up and bloody. I had to hide my arms behind my back.
I think we should meet indoors somewhere so we won’t have to worry about the police. I hate it when people call the police over small things like fights and breaking glass bottles, spray paint and stuff like that.
September the first (in two weeks) at this Virginia place sounds good-ish. Six dollars, a vehicle, directions that make sense to me, leaving Frederick by 9 30 a.m. and no thing major enough to come-up I should, could be there then.
I would shoot~ for the first of September at Y’s. in Alexandria, VA.
Ralek, you can get there on your own? Thought was to get you from Frederick that Sunday morning and go. I leave so early from Frederick (9 30a.m.) because it’s far to me and unfamiliar. It’s for taking-the-wrong-exit-time or missed-the-school-time or there-are- no-more-numbers-on-the-buildings-time or it-should-be-down-that-street-Oh,-no,-it-was-probablly-that-road-two-lights-back-time.
I’d have to see apoweyn another time if their planning or some other aspect of his Life is happening that day 
By the by(e), much the best, on that to you. :~>
Good no_know!!! There is a good chance i will be free on that entire weekend. But let’s try to find a day that merry prankster can also come.
So it will be Me, no_know, merryprankster, and apoweyn.
That’s only 1 kung fu guy. Are there any more kung fu people who want to come to the BJJ school?
I am really interested in the cultural traditions of the chinese and the captivating kung fu styles they created. I wish there could be more kung fu people to come along.
What style of kung fu do you do know_no?
If the yamasaki school is not good for any of you that’s fine. Anywhere is fine for me. But i want to go somewhere indoors to avoid police so the yamasaki school sounds good. No stupid people calling the cops.
LEGEND is coming too.
Any more maryland kung fu people want to come to the BJJ school???
Mysteri. You should come to the BJJ school also. We can all be there. Or if you kung fu guys have a problem with the BJJ school we can meet at a kung fu school. It doesn’t matter. But it needs to be indoors. But outdoors would work too.
We NEED some more kung fu people. 1 kung fu person is just not enough to go around. I really need you Mysteri. You are in the general area.
Any more kung fu people around maryland, south PA, virginia, westvirgina, anywhere reasonably close. There are way too many BJJ guys and only 1 kung fu person.
Does no Gi indicate, no T-shirt too?
Kung-Fu forms are designed with multiple opponents in mind. So (needle and thread), one at a time or all at once should be fine for me.
What Kung-Fu do I do? I don’t have permission to demonstrate any Kung-Fu. Nor do I claim Any Kung-Fu to represent.~
Whatever I comprehend or come-up-with to be appropriate at the moment (each moment) is close to what I do–I Breathe.
Shao-lin five animal forms, Hung gar Tiger/Crane, Hung Family Five Animal Pattern, Sevenstar Praying Mantis, Chuka Shaolin, Chin-Na, Drunken(s), Eight-Diagram boxing, Yang style 24 T’ai Chi Ch’uan and Ying Jow P’ai…are fighting kung-Fus I’ve heard or read about but that’s about it.
I picked-up something about kicking from a University weekly class that, at which I infrequently watched.
May we wear a T-shirt? Are shorts or slacks or pants acceptable for whatever would go on at this Yamasaki training place (Olympus Raquet and Fitness)?
Get me some contact information Ralek if you accept traveling in a vehicle with me getting you to go to meet everyone~by noon-ish that Sunday.~
I might have something come-up on that Sunday (September the first 2002) morning. For me to let you know, get me a telephone number at which to reach you then.
Yes you can wear a T-shirt. You can wear shorts or pants.
Yes we could car-pool. But wait till merryprankster and all them know what is going on becuase they still havn’t all said what day they can make it.
know_no. Do you want to spar full contact?
I would participate in a full contact thingie but likely won’t spar full. I don’t want to hurt anyone~. If someone gets hurt it should be me. People seem to have goals and timelines and getting hurt can affect that for them.Hopefully I would be able to manage well enough regardless.
I think that each pair decide how they want to do. I basically relevantly don’t have anything I want to study or learn, so (needle-and-thread), I would work with everyone on what they are looking for. Sparring full contact if that’s what you are looking for…from me (I suspect you see me merely as a Kung-Fu type guy–a chance in your mind to prove to you something relevant to Kung-Fu not as good as they say or to indicate what you do as good)
I see your reversal of No_Know to know_no as disrespectful or possiblely playful or taunting. Just thought I’d share. Very good
OK, just found out that we’re not getting the applications which we had orginally been assigned, because of a legal issue. Our consulting firm is now owned by a French-based company, and the work was for a contract with the government, giving us access to some government data. I imagine that our French overlords would definitely have us spying in no time, even though we’re all U.S. citizens. :rolleyes: That means no more Virginia trips, except for the outside chance that we get another app from that area- Dallas or Kansas city would be more likely. Sigh. It may be for the best, anyway. Well, one day I’ll have to make it down there to meet you all.
Legend - I did 6 months of Cheung-style. He made that style up out of existing Yip Man wing chun, rearranging the sets and movements. But it is basically the same. Now I study Yip Man style as well as some JKD, for almost three 3 years more. I think the Chueng entry technique is fine, it is basically one option out of a few. But it works best if your opponent is not prepared, as do all techniques. Nowadays, I like to enter with a front kick, or simply take two quick short steps in and punch - low or high. The time that I enter with a raised knee is when I see that my opponent is going to try to stay back and kick me. Of course in the context of sportfighting, which is my emphasis now, you can’t just rely on one move, your opponent will catch on and think of a defense.
I am moving that weekend. Sorry.
