I totally agree with chi kwai, you don’t study martial arts to get better at drawing, or playing soccer .. you study it to be able to defend you and of course for the fun of practicing it.
But Whipping Hand, I really think you should wake up, don’t know how old you are, but the way you think Yip Man was a God and a Saint is really child-like. It’s like back in pre-school thinking your gym-teacher is THE best at soccer cause you never ever saw him missing a shot, for all you know he could beat Zidane on one leg.. What do you think Yip Man was ? You think he didn’t have to go to the toilet to take a **** ? You think he never made mistakes in his life ? You seriously think he never had a fight outside and for a disrespectal way (for example the fight could have been avoided but he was so mad or something that he slapped a dude here and there :D) Everybody makes mistakes (oh yeah, INCLUDING YIP MAN) and learsn from them.
tzu’chan everyone makes mistakes is right but do you know for a fact about yip man. do you know anything about his private life. and i don’t mean things you heard and read. for whipping hand to
treat the memory of yip man the way he does is a credit to the art. if he wants to place yip man on the top of the wing chun chain then yip man has earn the right to be respected and remember in that way. i also respect yip man for his skill
just look at all the students that have become sifu’s under him. their is not one yip man student thats isn’t respected for his skill
so show some respect for people who skills you will never appoach . in your life time
Of course I respect Yip Man, jeez, but not as a God. I respect him as a human being, and for the goals in his life he achieved and the wonderfull art he developped for us. But don’t go placing him next to Zeus on the Olympus. I think that’s not what he was aiming for neither !! I have total respect for him, but not more or less then the guy I gave 5$ yesterday cause he was hungry. Everybody deserves an equal amount of respect. But that’s of the topic from what you said I think. All I’m saying is, he was fuxing human too u know, he made mistakes, and a sa matter of fact I haven’t read about him as much as you guys cause right now I’m more interested in Leung Tin. Thinking he was perfect is plain .. stupid
It seems, by your posts, that the only person putting Yip Man beside God or Zeus, is you. Try not to be hypocritical, and try not to blow things out of proportion. Hypocrisy and exaggeration make for an inferior martial artist.
Well let me tell you what, Whippin Slap, you bitching around here really doesn’t do any good in posts. And about me being inferial martial artist, I think I am, I only started 1 month , and still have much to learn. But of course I wouldn’t want to argue with Mr. Bruce himself
Cause your replies always are .. like total bullshit enwrapped in a nice cover
It relates to OdderMensch’s recent post in the “Once you are on the floor…” thread, something having to do with not responding to negative posts…
Everytime you see the name “Whipping Hand”, don’t read it! Hey! What a concept!
However, if you see “Whipping Fist”, or “Slapping Hand”, or “Slapping Fist”, or “Whipping” or anything similar to my alias, you may want to read that post, because that most likely will not be written by me.
Easy enough? If not, by all means, let me know. I can explain it in further detail, or in another manner that you might understand. I’m always willing to accomodate juniors…
If stories about sifus fighting upsets anyone in here..why not just not come in here?
Heres what Im thinking. The person who started this thread wanted to exchange ideas about their teachers martial arts bouts. Thats all. They didnt want the stories analyzed, criticized (sp?) or anything else for that matter.
Either read the stories and be happy, maybe giving one of your own..or just dont come in this thread. Its simple isnt it?
Most of us in here are adults I would think, so lets all start acting the part. Im sure that if we were all in a room sitting around and talking things wouldnt escalate to this point…so why does it always happen here?
Lets show the true essence of the martial artist, and not be led to a path of rhetorical babble.
“From one thing know ten thousand” - Miyomato Musashi, Book of five rings
Because if we would be in the same room you would have the danger of being attacked by 3754 Martial Artists. While here the worst thing that could happen is somebody writing in an ugly font
I love these sort of stories theyre really cool, mianly because its kinda like a case of huray the good guy wins again. I dont seee why you get all flustered about them if a sifu is picked on ok but idont think anyones sifu is such a dick he will go out and start fights on his own.
Anyway my 2 stories from 2 diff sifu’s
My previous sifu used to be like 18 and he hadnt started his kung fu yet but he always watched dodgy bruce lee movies and stuff like that and did his hiyaaaa karate stuffyou know kinda stuff we did with the broomsticks when we were kids .. hey wait a minute i still do that.!!
Anyway he was in the car one day with a friend who was a bit weak and fragile think he had a back problem, anyway as they were driving this gang of about 12 15 people stopped the car and all circled it, and they started ripping off the antenna and kicking the car,no particular reason just the wrong place at the wrong time, anyway his friend and him get out , they pushed his friend he hits the pavement and goes out cold. so my sifu who then wasnt even a si-wannabee was stuck facing 12 odd big hairy gorrilla dudes as he put it. He goes they all started to rush me and the only thing i knew how to do was a front kick anyway he goes i front kicked a couple of them and they were hurt but theyre were so many they just kept coming he goes for about 2 minutes the same thing, eventually he goes a crowd formed around me watching the fight and the gang mingled with the crowd, so he goes people kept on jumping out of the crowd and hitting me in the back whilst i was fighting a couple in front of me. In the end he goes just with my front kicks i managed to hurt them enough till they ran away. Then he turns around and goes to me after all this fight my friends who were in the crowd ran up to me and all started saying are you ok here you lost your chain with your crucifix on it here let me get you a drink. I remember him saying his shoes were full of blood and then the cops came and tried to arrest him for fighting.
Since his sifu days no such stories though except for one,… he owns this chinese restaurant and next door to it there is a strip club, anyway he doesnt condone his students going there so one night his head instructor went to the restaurant to eat with lots of othert students and the head instructor under him pays at the bar and walks out side then they all stand at the door see that the sifu is looking the other way and they all run next door to the strip bar
Anyway one night this guy was drunk and he came out of the SB and was basically shouting and causing hassle outside the strip joint (we dont have doormen in our country not that i know ofcourse but… anyway he moves on to the restaurant my sifu owns and continues being a pain kicking my sifus fence and breaking his lions etc. so my sifu comes out and tells the guy to stop, the guy had the normal hey man you know hwho i am ill kick your ass attitude so my sifu pulls off this lighting fast outside crescent kick about 1 cm from the tip off the guys nose… needless to say the guy sobered up in half a second and was like ok buddy ok…
My last story is about my sifu’s sifu from china my real sifu. I donno much about this guy mainly because my sifu’s english is about as intricately expressable as my chinese he watches schwarzeneger to learn english and i watch jet li moveis for my chinese anyway… I donno where this was set or anything but all i know is my sifu’s sifu has some rare for of iron body from tiger style that only a few peolpe in china know,and this has been passed on, from what i know the top generation guy is 90 years old now, and there are 2 sifu’s under him and my sifu , which is surprisingly a lot of good generations of fighters the top guy is too old now but he knows tan tui and tiger style.
anyway my sifu’s sifu got attacked one day by a gang of japanese, sorry my history sucks here so maybe you could explain when this happened, The head japanese guy swung his katana over his head down at my sigung in the traditional straight cut, my sigung dodged out of the way and did the "steven seagal cliche disarming technique"he basically grabbed the guys arm as it was at head level and followed it downwards then he twisted the wrist and disarmed the guy. My sifu then calmly proceeded to tell my he then broke the katana over his thigh. I asked him what happened after that but his english was to minimal most of it was explained using words like japan good sword and he showed me the movements.
I was like jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez a katana !!!
anyway guys just a couple of stories i picked up…hope you like em
I AM THE OFFICIAL KUNG FU TROLL FROM NOW UNTIL I GET BANNED AHAHAHAHHA…MWAHAHAHAHAH.HEHEHEHE <insert evil laugh here>
I am sorry to be a little tardy in addressing this post. Guys, you need to calm down a bit. Don’t let things upset you so. Some of you seem to be taking things pretty personally. Believe me, it’s not worth the aggravation.
I do not want to close this topic but if we can not keep things civil then I will be forced to. Come on guys, you all were doing so well. Don’t regress back to the petty insults and bickering.
sigh you’ve used this one already…for a man of such few words, you’re wasting them trying to sound superior or pseudo-mature…why don’t you just leave people alone in this forum instead of aggrevating every single person as if you’re the expert on everything
