Don Hamby

Scoll down for Don Hamby interview.http://player.narrowstep.tv/skins/0018/nsp.aspx?player=MACRADIO

What is the jest of whathe is saying ( can’t view it a work) ?

I have Hamby’s Iron Wire DVD and its the closest to the real thing I have seen.

They also have a Gene Ching interview

Well, so much for quality…:smiley:

wing lams iron wire is easily as good as Hamby’s.

I would venture to say I like Lams better, but that’s just me.

so I guess they just interview anyone then! :stuck_out_tongue:

Not what I heard, but to each their own, they both have glaring “misses” which I assume are on purpose for the public.

I find WL’s closer to the LSW publication.

Yes, but that doesn’t make it more “correct”.
I have seen 6 different versions of the Iron Wire and they all miss something or another, BUT taken as a whole, it is there, you just got look like crazy and be open to it, or be a closed door Hung gar disciple :smiley:

Hi David,

Why? What makes you like one over the other? I have seen several net versions. Some I like and some I don’t. I don’t recall Hamby’s or Lam’s off the top of my head so I am not sure how to critique them. Them again, I don’t have the skills to critique them. :slight_smile:

Hi David,

I am not a big fan of exactness in forms anymore. I feel the forms have a purpose but it doesn’t REALLY matter if something is slightly different. IE, you can restring the forms together in a different order and change the number of times you do something, but you havn’t changed the WAY a form is done. Atleast that is how I currently look at it.

That is a very shortened versions with some changes and add-ons…

And that is very crucial, though same will argue that if you leave out certain things that you won’t get the full “effect”.
Thing is, I am sure it has been changed so much as it is…

You are perceptive. I like the intent and especially the almost improvised nature of keeping it within the framework.
It is a demo after all.

And keep in mind TSK (iron wire) is a LONG form. Many people only show a portion of it.

I have issues with that stuff, I don’t believe in altering anything for the public, better not to show it at all.

Check out this interesting interpretation

I would agree, but that doesn’t explain why they do it “incorrectly” at times, or at least different.
Shorten it, sure, who wants to see 15 min of dynamic tension anyways.

I can understand that.
