Let’s keep the discussion out of the video thread so that others can more easily find the videos.
:eek:

Franks video
Lol!!!
I am not the who posted that clip.
if i were to post one it would be one that compliments me, not embarrasses me.
however, in my physical condition at that time, the fact the i worked all night and went to perform in the morning, the fact that i was exhausted, i still did better than some of you.
i’ll put money on the table that most of you couldn’t put something together like that instantly. that was all free style, and not a set that i was taught.
so all in all, not bad for something i put together as i went along.
i doubt you could do that.
What is the point of this thread?
If you’re gonna post to insult someone, you should have the balls to view their response.
don’t trip k-no.
i had a horrible day that day.
no worries.
it’s the fighting that i care about.
if they couldn’t kick my arse, then i’ll let them talk smack. it’s only words.
k-no, just look at havick’s my space page and look at his pictures.
he and fu pow look a little freaky together.
i’m totally not worried about him. if he wants some he can have some any time.
ttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
lets not forget how ‘good’ fu-pow was doin his form
The content in the form was execelent if you know what you were looking at. As far as Franks performance well it looked like he was having a bad day.
Let he who has not botched up a form during a demo throw the first rock. As far as I’m concerned When I watch some one perform a set with great traditional content, that just tells me that with a little work I’l apreciate the set and the performer.
Just for the record I haven’t said anything about Frank’s form.There is really no point in me criticizing Frank’s form because he is on my ignore list and so I will not be reading his responses or those of his associates.I’ll let the video speak for itself.
If other people want to criticize Frank or his form…hey it’s free world. I know that Frank didn’t put that video up but he did put himself out there on the street performing and when you do that, as I know from experience, you open yourself up to all kinds of criticism…both the constructive kind and the down-right mean-spirited kind. But that’s life..and Frank’s made his bed on this forum and so now he’s got to lie in it.
The reason I started this thread is because I want discussion of forms from the video thread to be in another thread so that people can easily sift through the video thread to find video content. And if anyone feels I’m unecessarily picking on Frank here, you’re wrong…I specifically outlined what I wanted people to do in the "guidelines’ part of the video thread (if you bothered to read it)…and you’ll notice that I’ve followed through on this with every video that has generated discussion. No exceptions.

Fu pow, I’m sorry I didn’t know that we were not allowed to coment on the video. And by the way you are a crafty one and I know where this is going.
I don’t mean to take sides here but you have a lot of distain for frank, so I don’t feel that this thread was started for any other reason than to show a video that was not posted by Frank.
Fu Pow Is it ethical to post videos of a CLF brother without his consent. I’m starting to think Lama Sifu may have a point about this Forum.
I didn’t post the video, I linked it and as stated before I’m simply trying to manage the video thread that I started.
sifu frank
Thanks a lot for all your help,that alone makes you a great sifu,you trulley will have our respect as a great sifu here in new york,and as far as fu pow take it were it’s coming from…
Fu-Pow Im confused if Franks on your ignore list why bring him up as the subject.
No matter what you intended it just looks like your baiting him.
Also whoever put the video on google obviously did it with out Frank knowing about it.
I don’t believe that anyone can say theyve never done a bad demo a friend of mine has some excellent video footage me & him training its good footage because it was done in an informal relaxed atmosphere, he also I might add has footage of me doing one of the worst embarrassing demos Ive ever done in my life.
despite his protestations to the contrary, it is quite obvious that fu pow started this topic out of spite for frank by showin frank in a bad light doing a form a little on the poorly side and finishing by dropping the weapon.
This happens! Big deal. No one here can claim they haven’t made errors in demo performances at some point. Except for maybe that freakish little ratboy dalglesh lol. just kidding, but really, what did you think he posted it for?
he posted it to take a pot shot at frank as soon as the ammo was available.
so we gather that frank is ashamed of that ergo a little heavy in the ego and fu pow took advantage of his shame ergo a little light in the courtesy department.
just sayin…
in my own defense,
i did do the set poorly, and my own students who know how i move agree that i didn’t perform like i wanted to be there. but, if you look at the techniques, and overlook my legs and horse, the techgniques are still decent however i performed them at a measely medium speed.
i want everyone to realize from my stand point that i was paralyzed from the waist down and told that i would spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. can any of you fathom what it took, or what is was like for me to get to where i’m at today…(not 2 and half years ago but today)?
it’s harder than any of you think. on that performance, of course i would be exhausted from a 12 hour graveyard shift where i only wanted to go home and sleep. that mixed with legs still recovering from being paralyzed (which is still an ongoing process) was not a great recipe for a performance.
and i appreciate those who understood that that was something i would never have posted my self. hell, i want people to compliment not clown me.
but yes, we all know fu pow is waiting for some reason but he wants to talk smack sooooo bad. i’ll let him though, because if that was my best, i shouldn’t even be on this forum.
however, i’m debating if it’s necessary to redeem myself here, but i’m planning on recording me doing a set, then with the aid of my classmate that has access to the “RedMan” outfit, i will be showing some applications. with the redman i can actually blast away full power without the fear of injuring my classmate.
if and when this gets completed, i think that would redeem me. who knows?
yes i was ashamed of that. that was the first and only time that has ever, and i mean ever happened to me. Hell, if you ever run into my sifu, ask him. he knows i’ve never dropped my weapon before.
like i said, what you don’t see is me cursing like a mad man because that stick was all wrong for me, and i dropped it.
but i know we all have had bad days, but i still say in my own defense…
not bad for a guy who was told he would never walk again. huh?
a punk
fu pow your a punk man I dont no about seattle but in N.Y you would be slapt right in your mouth…
Frank the important thing is that it was a good traditional form that I have now memorized.
