“It was very common in the old days for the Chinese Mafia to hire kung fu masters, put up a front kung fu school, and have them train their youth gang members known as soldiers.
Master Ng’s death was an effort by the Chinese mafia to stop an uprising of their soldiers and gave the excuse that Master Ng could not control his students, i.e., the trained gang soldiers. Originally the soldiers were given an assignment but were unable to complete it but still demanded payment of $2,000 from the mafia for an job unsuccessfully performed. If the Chinese mafia did not pay, the soldiers threaten to expose their gambling houses and prostitution houses.”
fascination with this subject seems a function of age. When you grow up, look around you, and count how many people you know are either dead or locked away, or just plain disappeared, you might consider there is nothing to admire in that sort of lifestyle

thumb in your ass..who are you talking to?
i’m into bhuddism i beleive in reincarnation i look for the truth…not some legends so chubby guys can get paid like what is the norm in the west…i bet if you go to manila china town they tell you the real history, go to hollywood you get to hear about and play make beleive…are we training to be righteous or are we training to defend against street thugs!?..i train to be ready for uglyness in the streets ****a legend!.
THERE IS ONE STRONG ELEMENT MISSING IN MANY MARTIAL ARTS.
THAT ELEMENT IS THE FEAR OF BEING KILLED. NOT HURT. KILLED.
SOME LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN OR CAN ONLY BE A SPECTATOR TO THE DARKER SIDE OF LIFE.
OTHERS HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO LIVE IT. SURE THERE WILL BE THOSE WHO SAYS “move away”…AHHHHHHHH…THAT’S NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. PEOPLE DON’T HAVE THE MEANS TO DO SO, OR WOULD BE IN THE SUBBURBS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
YOU KNOW, I HAVE A HALF BROTHER, AND HE GREW UP IN THE BURBS WITH HIS OTHER FAMILY. ONE DAY HE WANTED TO HANG OUT WITH ME WHERE I LIVE. THE WAY HE ACTED WHEN HE SAW THUGS, HOMELESS PEOPLE, OR ANYONE NOT RESEMBLING ANYTHING HE WAS USED TO SHOOK HIM UP.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS WEAK FOR THAT. I HAVE TO LIVE IN THAT TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE NO MEANS TO MOVE OUT AS WE SPEAK.
SO, WHEN I TRAIN MY GUYS, I PREACH TO THEM ABOUT HOW WE USE IT ON THE STREET. NOT IN THE RING, OR IN A SCHOOL. WE TRAIN FOR JUST IN CASE SOMEONE WANTS TO HURT US.
BUT WHEN LIVING IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, YOU HAVE TO GO FROM 0-60 IN “.5” SECONDS FLAT OR YOU ARE DONE FOR. I DARE ANYONE TO COME INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A LESSER MIND SET AND WATCH HOW YOU GET EATEN UP. I SEE IT EVERY DAY.
[QUOTE=hskwarrior;831456]“once A Gangster Always A Gangster”
True. Ross Is Correct In Once Aspect.
The Only Way To Leave That Behind Though Is To Completey Remove Yourself From It.
However, When You Grew Up In It, Still Live In It, And Still Exist In It To A Point Where Death Is Accepted, Its All You Know.
I Confess, If I’m Walking Down The Street In My Old Neighborhood, And See A Street Fight…i Dont’ Walk Away Fast…i Stop And Watch.
I Love A Good Fight!!!
But, When It’s All You Know, Sometimes, It Takes Longer To Leave It Behind Than Others.[/QUOTE]
me personnaly i have had this desire to get good at kung fu and teach native street kids so just like me they don’t gotta waste their time hanging out with the peer pressure studying ignorance…i used to be hella grimey and one day i thought hey bruce lee is cool he buff i wanna do that and get other street kids into it instead of dieng at the age of 24…**** you could be doing tai chi with those wudang cats when you 80…why sniff glue in the 'hood…

ross talking about maturity…go tell that to street kids smoking and slanging crack, they will tell you “turn the other cheek and i’ll break your ****ing chin” you gotta have knowledge of yin yang…you can’t be so hood cuz the kids have to play, and you can’t be rodney king talking about can we get along…meanwhile buddy is ****ing your ***** and you talking about peace
human beings get alzheimers you corny if you think it’s gonna be peace…it can be polite but then you get attacked by a freaking bear…go down to third street and native kids on crack will jack you…go up to 60’th street and freaking wild animals come out from the bush:)
I KNOW CRACK HEADS THAT WILL GLADLY LET YOU TURN THE OTHER CHEEK JUST SO THEY CAN ROB YOU. LOL.
BUT, I TOO, HAVE WANTED TO TAKE STREET KIDS AND TURN THEM INTO SOMETHING BETTER THAN WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW. BUT ITS TOUGH TO CONVINCE A YOUNG KID WHO IS MAKING THOUSANDS A WEEK BY SELLING CRYSTAL METH TO GIVE IT UP AND LEARN SOME GUNG FU.
IF THEY DO LEARN GUNG FU IT WOULD BE TO KICK SOME CRACK HEAD BUTT!!! lol
PLUS, A STREET KID DEEP IN THE GAME WILL LOOK AT YOU AND FEEL YOU OUT. IF HE THINKS HE CAN TAKE YOU, HE WOULDN’T LEARN FROM YOU. BEING A STREET KID MYSELF, I PASSED ON KARATE, JUDO, TAI MANTIS, EVEN BOXING UNTIL I FOUND CHOY LEE FUT. MY SIFU WAS IN THE GAME AT THE TIME, AND WE COULD RELATE TO EACH OTHER. THATS WHY I STAYED WITH HIM…HE KNEW HIS SCHIT!!! AND HOW TO USE IT TOO.
A STREET FIGHTER WILL RECOGNIZE ANOTHER GOOD FIGHTER.

then add the fact that their whole world view is you don’t grow up in their world, how do you convince them they wanna be healthy when they sixty when it is in their head that commen knowledge states 25 is when the milk carton expires…i lucked out and got into bhuddism so that made me see past thirty when i was 16…i had to have a lot of people die for me to open my eyes and even then i wanted to open my eyes…found kung fu a year later…there is no hope for most of them except reincarnation!..whitey ain’t sending fema up into new orleans…
Frank, my intuition tells me there is one hope to get the 5-12 year olds…Hip Hop
I love it and so do they…now i gotta make them love kung fu…hip hop borrows from kung fu since genesis so it’s not a stretch and a good marketing plan…just gotta do some research:)
teach a crack baby to do a headspin and a whindmill, maybe and hopefully he’ll be like yo can i see that tornado kick joint…
