A master black sash was walking down the street in full uniform one day through china town, when he was hit in the back of the head with a rotten tomatoe. He turned around and said, “What Kung foo that??”

Everyone wants to start their own style. A few months here, a year there, buy some tapes then presto!!! SOKE

Actually, kf movie geek/taijiquan student that I am, I’ve wondered if it might be possible to create a Taoist form of fighting with that most Shaolin Buddhist of weapons, the three segmented pole (3sp from now on for brevity’s sake.) I love the 3sp for it’s beauty, complexity, and variety of movement. I’ve never done any more than the most cursory messing around with a foam one, but it occurs to me that many Taoist properties might be accurately attributed to the 3sp. Like…

-It contains both rigid and flexible in a unified whole

-The 3sp can contract and expand, like the body of a tcq fighter.

-The 3sp can both strike and bind - two contrasting approaches creating a unified whole.

-One segment of the pole may be used to yield to an opponent in a ‘soft’ fashion as another is simultaneously used to attack in a ‘hard’ fashion.

-It is adaptable for both close range and long range attacks (and to a lesser degree, defenses.)

-etc.

So, once I have learned and begun to master the saber, sword, pole, and spear, perhaps I might attempt to synthesize a way to fight with the 3sp in a taiji manner. Sound foolish? Or like I shouldn’t have said such a brilliant, stealable idea out loud? Or is the 3sp just too ‘Shaolinesque’ to be used in a Taoist manner?

Sad as it is today, DK. There really is nothing wrong with forming there own style, or martial method as I pefer:D , All the arts we practice today are an amalgamation of others taught with the persons own interpentation. The sad thing is that pple try to turn 6 months McDojo training into 40yrs MA Mastery!!!:frowning: SAD SAD SAD!!! I see nothing wrong with an Nidan~Yondan branching off and seeking there own path. They put in the time and sweat (this is assuming it is a good school which is few and hard to find)
