Nice articles. Well written and I particularly enjoyed the piece on Ch’an. Great data! Interesting history. I love learning more about religion, especially the Asian religions.
Thanks, Kung Lek.

Hey Kung,
I can’t be sure, but if you are hosting your site on something related to excite@home (like you have a cable modem), you might want to back it up PDQ, due to the bankruptcy.
Very good articles, thanks for sharing.
I just checked the rest of your homepage out in the picture section in the picture “Tiger crouching” it seems like you have the thumb on the outside of the fist, is that true? and is there a reason for this?
Uberkool homepage BTW.
You should spend more time MODERATING, Kung Lek.
Where’s Renegade_Monk when we need him?
Huang,
I see you a a professional violinist. What do you like playing, and where?

Hello-
Thanks for the feedback. And to answer a few of the questions and comments.
Yes, I build sites with macromedia products such as Dreamweaver and Flash.
I use Rogers at Home, so I’m not to worried, besides my entire site is also local to my machine.
Yes, I use my thumb resting on top of my index finger or wrapped, depending on the use of the fist. Neither way is incorrect and it’s a matter of the individuals preference.
What do you need moderated Huang? I thought that I was being fairly moderate lately. no porn, easy on the flames, etc, other than that, many have asked that this board be more of a neighbourhood meeting place. It’s not my board, it is the users for the most part, and for the most part many posts are relevant to the practice of Kung Fu.

Chill Kung Lek.
You’re doing a good job.
“Seek naturalness. Act without forcing”.
HuangKaiVun, chill. He’s doing a great job so shut the hell up you little *****.

Drunkenmonkey, you like Ralek’s posts. You idolize the guy and even have learned to imitate his flaming.
Your asinine “Orgy” post was something that should’ve been stricken from this board INSTANTLY. It took this forum 39 responses for the moderators to catch on.
So YOU shut the hell up, you little **** of Ralek’s ****.
Kung Lek, we have disagreed REPEATEDLY over the moderation issue - though I really respect your “moderate” intent.
You know where I’m coming from, and I know where you’re coming from. As you are the moderator, I will abide by YOUR rules.
Haung-
i didn’t even see an orgy thread 
I must’ve not been looking at the threads that day.
Anyway, I do what I can to give this place as much attention as I can. And I do my best to ensure that the content in these threads are acceptable to anyone who comes here.
Having said that, the major concensus of the users here is that they do like to use it a little outside the framework of just Kung fu posts and for the most part I am ok with that.
When it gets out of hand, I do my best to get rid of the extraneous and keep the worthwhile stuff.
But, I’m just one guy, as is renegade monk. The folks at KFQG magazine entrust us to keep this board a worthwhile place to come.
You do have the option of e-mailing me personally with any concerns or issues you have about the content of the threads here, and I urge you to do so. Everything you need to contact me is in my profile and I will deal with issues as fairly as I possibly can.
And Drunken Monkey, I really do think that sometimes you are “drunk” when you post.
peace

Hey Kung…it was not meant as an attack.
If you have time to explain some of the applications of that hand position i would very much like to read it.
Hell, I am always drunk when I post here!
Nice site, Kung Lek. The moderator thing is a dead issue. I agree with HUang but if we have to have one, I could not think of a better person to do it.
Now, having read things by Huang and Kung for a long period of time, I can honestly say that I trust thier opinions when they post answers to my questions.
I have also befriended some of the “flamer” types on this forum and I have to say that the quality of the flames has reached a new low, the real guys know what I am talking about. Debate is good, adolescent pissing contests are not.
I am heartened that a few core people are here. I dont mind obnoxious people. Obnoxious STUPID people that do not know what they are talking about irritates me.
Back to your site… cool new stuff Kung lek! I like the article on Zen. You have the facts straight my man, and I think it is a great article for people that do not know what Ch’an is. I especially like the Homer Simpson reference.
Now, do you know what the Japanese call Bodhidarmha? LOL, I couldn’t resist.
arioch 7, just in case you aren’t kidding…
Bodidharma was known to the Japanese as “Daruma”.
Tvebak, as time permits I will be writing more pieces for the site. I intend to keep them short and concise and to try not to get overly mystical with the content.
As far as hand forms are concerned, you may well know that there are a great variety of hand forms used in chinese martial arts, with the larger percentage being open hand forms or hand forms that are designed for small area strikes.
To use a fist is uncommon at more advanced levels of application of strikes, but still, fists are effective if used properly and to the correct striking areas and using the correct striking areas.
There is much to the martial arts that I have come to consider to be very “cut and dried”.
Ochams razor so to speak, or the simplest answer is generally the one that will work most reliably and effectively.
It is not wrong to wrap the thumb or to let it sit atop the index finger. When the thumb sits atop the index, their are some small advantages to doing so, the foremost being the reduction of the possibility of bending the thumb inwards when striking a large area and perhaps glancing.
Of course, to wrap the thumb under the finger is incorrect although this fist form is used in some chi kung exercises. the thumb under the fingers handform is known as “Tiger immitates Crane” and this fist is not used to strike but rather when th punch reaches it’s terminus, the fingers gently squeeze the fist and the sinew and tendon of the thumb is worked and at the same time the muscle is worked and there is an acupressure aspect to it.
Another hand form of the fist is the sun fist, where the thumb is under the wrapped fingers and supports the fingers. This hand form can be used in snapping figure eight punches.
Anyway, I will be sure to write a couple of pieces about what I understand of body mechanics, angles of attack and other things as I grow to understand them with more depth through the practice of them.
peace
