[QUOTE=GeneChing;1118929]He’s doing a seminar the same time as me. I mentioned our gathering and he sounds down (not sure if he knows what Twin Peaks is about, but I’m sure he’ll appreciate it). Got room for another rider in that Audi, xcakid? I should mention that Don is a big man. A huge man. His guns are the size of my waist.
Dude, didn’t you see Revenge of the Pink Panther? Kato became a pimp daddy! Come on now, you remember. Tanya the Lotus eater![/QUOTE]
I am not sure if my wife knows what Twin Peaks is all about and I am not telling her. Xingying is coming, not sure about Xingxi, maybe he will come too.
We had about almost 2 dozen people, including Mike Barry, Don Hamby, Gary Utterback, Shi Xingying, Zhang Xueli, Steve Li and more. Thanks again for putting this together, xcakid (nice ride too - sweet even without the kato cap). And thanks for the treat, sha0lin1. It was an honor to meet your wife.
Unfortunately I didn’t get to see any of xcakid’s events. Wrong place, wrong time. I did get to see sha0lin1 get beaten by sticks, smack his head with iron bars and put a hole in the huge expensive stage backdrop. :eek: Also got to meet zhugeliang and chat with one of our former mods. It’s been great as always. Today was cooler - just over 100. Loving this TX heat.

Ha Ha, yeah my Master beats me sometimes, it was a very big hole wasn’t it? I cringed when that happend but my face got some pay back when my Master decided to hit me with the next one on a more downward angle so we wouldn’t put another hole in that backdrop and a piece of the stick bounced up and hit me. It was good to see you again Gene. If you love the heat so much you should move here, it is 100 or more everyday.
Michael Aronson stated that they were going to introduce new sparring rules to rid the chinese martial arts scene of “Karate Rules” and introduce Traditional Classical Kung Fu Fighting Rules:confused:
Curious on how this was received and what exactly are the differences between the old rules and the new rules.

wasn’t this called Lei Tai fighting?
then it was called Sanshou
now it is called san da
why is it there is so much TALK about fighting and so little actual fighting? :rolleyes:
[QUOTE=Mulong;1119696]Sadly this is another romantic attempt by Chinese stylist trying to prove to others that they know how to fight and that their art is deadly! :([/QUOTE]
we proved we know how to fight by going into every format we could find (boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, sanshou, san da and mma) and winning
[QUOTE=Mulong;1119707]Indeed, but their are some, who still believe that Kwai Chang Caine’s fighting skill is a true presentation of CMA fighting skills.[/QUOTE]

Photos coming on Monday.[/QUOTE]
Hey Gene, anyway you can shoot me over a copy of the pic of us after diner with Shi Xingying?
Chris Clark introduced a new concept for continuous light contact called Tru 2 Form. The idea was to show your style, so there was some initial forms demo before Clark called ‘Fight!’ It surprisingly entertaining, especially this monkey fighter who did a lot of rolling about, although many felt that the rules were ill defined and there were too many openings for injury.
I can feel lkfmdc popping a vein on this one from here.
That being said, David Chin’s Hop Gar fighters fought with classic Hop Gar stances and techniques and did quite well.
I’ve tossed up a 88 pix on our facebook album. I’ll post more tomorrow.
This one is my favorite so far:
Good photography is all in the timing.
I’ll send you some pix soon, xcakid. Still trying to get on top of Monday. I had about 6 hours of sleep total for my 3-day weekend in Plano, so I’m pretty burnt today.
