Bastet,
Everything I was trying(and failing) to say in my many rambling diatribes all in one concise post. A big “thank you” and hoping you post more often, or I less, either one…
As most know, traditional Sifu’s have almost always been willing to work with those who express a sincere desire to learn, regardless of the distance that separates them, whether this means seminars or workshops or videos. So, I have no problem with the medium, I guess I just don’t like the fact that it’s advertised. As I said, most are willing to work with you privately on an individual basis, tailoring something to suit you specifically, but once I see the advertising I have horrific visions of a warehouse filled with teamsters stuffing “jik bo” into an envelope and sending off to a name in a database. I don’t think this will be the case with Truong, I’ve heard nothing but good things about the man, but what about others with far less scruples???
The problem with the advertising is that it’s designed to draw in those who might only be curious, and not necessarily committed, or those who are merely looking to add to a collection…and this is not a good thing.
WOAHHHHH!!!
Forgive my earlier statement. I didnt read all earlier posts nor realize that this program runs until SIFU.
Billys right. Mass production and selling of Bai Mei, without any sort of personal exchange…THATS TERRIBLE!
BAGWA…Are you serious, or just interested in the name???
THANK YOU

Hello to all my Bak Mei brothers!!
BagwaBoxer,
Sifu Andy has indicated to me that if you have completed the Instructor course you would be acknowledged by Andy as a Wah Nam instructor teaching Bak Mei. This does not mean you would be recognised as a Bak Mei style representative under Andy’s lineage. Sifu Andy also disagrees with your statement “videos is the same as being taught by him in person”; Sifu has stated he will do his best to ensure what he teaches in the video is complete but this does not compare to being taught in person. Pls refrain from continuing to take part in spiralling slanging-matches - check out Sifu’s Creeds on his website below.

Regarding BagwaBoxer, Sifu has indicated “Good can to turn bad, bad can turn to good - everyone deserves a chance”.
Sifu Andy has indicated the video tapes sent to BagwaBoxer would be tailored to his level. No mass-produced tapes would be distributed. Tapes would be sent across & BagwaBoxer would he required to send tapes back to show his progress. Sifu Andy’s next tape would then focus on what elements need to be improved & what is to be taught next.
Knock yourselves out!!
Hello FT!!
Good to finally be online! God you’re a ****-stirrer! When are you in town next? Been groovin lately?
Peace
ngor mei
im well thanks, no havent done to much grooving. i think we are due for big night out!!! 
ive been busy lots of training and teaching. speaking of hows your training going? 
im not a sh!t stirrer!!! i tell how i see it! 
peace
Yo Billy
That traffic on 278 really sucks 
FT-Telling it how you see it is what is called “stirring the sh*t”…
Truong certainly has the “right” to distribute “whatever”, but character is difficult to gauge across the world… and some folks are not prepared for the level of BS Artistry on this side…
BagwaBoxhead is no longer with us, but he’ll be back(Drunken Master?). If he isn’t qualified to even be allowed to post on a public forum, then what kind of correspondence program is tailored for him?
The more people defend this… the more suspicious I am… I don’t care what Truong does if his master doesn’t, but what possible good can come from publicly accepting a cancelled troll as a student? Now everyone knows all is available to all with no requirements(wouldn’t want to leave anyone out, would we?).
I’ve seen this happen on this very forum. The quality of a person has no place in the big mouthed asskickers crowd. Pathological liars readily accepted…
Man, the ancestors would rather the arts DIE OUT THAN FALL INTO THESE HANDS.
But, I realize I am the outsider here. In most peeps perfect world, everything is available for everyone to do what they will and it can all be turned over for profit at every corner so everyone’s happy… happy happy happy
Good luck to all of you!
TN,
I’ll just say this, I have a 10 mile commute and the drive time is anywhere between 60-90 mins. Aren’t you glad you’re 100 miles removed from this?
moq
your ahead of your time, didnt you invent sh!t stirring?
hey! do you now who drunken master is?
peace
Maybe not boxhead… probably another version of some other JackassMasters we have lurking about the dark corners of this place…
MoQ,
Who the f*ck are you to tell who can teach what.
Do you know what MoQ mean? I learnt similar form, it is called MoMayDick - high form!! Maybe in your system!! Ask your sifu.
“Man, the ancestors would rather the arts DIE OUT THAN FALL INTO THESE HANDS.”
The ancestors don’t care - they’re dead you fool!! They may turn in there graves.. I wonder what your ancestors would be doing now?.. maybe MoMayDick!! Ask your sifu.another higher form call Momaycant, very advance form, it is the lost arts??? Not many lost arts left!
you thought of a new name yet? :rolleyes:
Yes, the ancestors are dead. They HAVE though, thought far enough ahead to arrange for guardians. These people can be anybody, from any race, but they are mainly interested in keeping valuables away from pigs that just wanna mudwrestle or dogs looking around for a rat to tear up.
And… I say anything I want, just like you. Sorry to make you squirm, I didn’t know you were trying to get away with something… No need to act like a bug under a magnifying glass though, no one has to listen to me… most times they probably shouldn’t! I think I admitted that I’m the outsider on this one. RELAX, MOST PEOPLE FEEL THE SAME AS YOU DO!

beautiful, you come out of nowhere talking cr@p and are taken for a troll(who often just hop back in after a quick namechange, following expulsion). I COULD be mistaken. Perhaps you ARE new. Well, opinions flow like wine around here(like it does in places where wine is flowing everywhere), but no threats or obscenities or you will be forced to come up with a name that’s even more misleading…
Billy
Yea its nice to be far from it,but when I contract out to GA.Power I have to deal with it,I’ll be going on a job in a couple weeks to either Cartersville,Rome or Plant Jack, Indust.Bvd Ex. 15,278 west, grrrrrrr,takes me 45 mins just to get to 75 north from ex. 15 on the way back,have to get a hotel this time
…just a general comment
…don’t want to be involved in the arguements on this thread.
My opinion, in general, on videos is;
They make an excellent "companion’ for someone who is already training. My Sifu is going to teach me this form and that form. I am going to do/see what he tells/shows me. But, he won’t be around when I’m practicing outside of school. I can throw in his videos anytime and POSSIBLY pick up something that I didn’t notice before.
That’s all.
To learn any style - from scratch - from a video tape is ridiculous, no matter what styles one has studied previously.
“Don’t be sorry, be careful”
Dammmit- I get tricked again into respeonding to these gawdamm trolls… if y’all check- it becomes clear that “beautiful” has an email addy of wulinmaster@hotmail!!! HUH? WuLinMaster? Dreamlover??
You mean ShaolinMaster??? That POS??? DAMMMIT!

Shaolin Woman
my 2 cents
greetings,
i agree with NyHc. If you are already learning a form from a certain system, then you get a video of that same form and look at it, it works out better. Trying to learn any system without anyone there in person to give you hands on info wont work to well. You miss certain things a video can never show a person.
