RollingElbow Exactly its all tricks and strategem’s borrowed from the old folks, sad thing is…it was always brotherhoods, plus the whole red gaurd fiasco for the last 60 years sort of revolutionizing the culture?, Most who learnt good kf in the past and were not really known as fighters, were scholars who enjoyed the fantasy of the classics oppossed to thier day to day lessons on Confusion:p studies, and the other type who was simcere in thier practise but didnt really become a strong fighter, were sons of the masters who really only got exercise out of the forced workouts in his youth!.
2me if you strip down good kungfu its resemblance is gracefull streetfighting, wheras jujitsu has a history of chessboxing in that the cliche description one could fit to a hardcore practitioner is to set your opponnent up for submissions - obviously kf has this, what i am saying the general and overall attitude behind kf technique is to strike **** hard and ruthlessly, such as what kind of nice gestures could one do within the usage of a tiger claw a spear hand or a index-fist.= Not Many
jj tech is made to be nice, comparable how royce is a small guy but he was in the spotlight with respect tyson had in his day!, so its a david vs goliath attitude to thier techniques and strategems.
So, its my understanding the attitude behind the usage of kf’s techniques, is akin to a lion vs a sick kill wheras jj has the attitude of the strategems behind a boas Constriction then swallow you whole, wheras kf is all about roll up on you swarm you then rip your throat & Gut you. This is the attitude in my hopgar techniques, and from the kajukenbo wich is part jap jj, some of the attitude i get from the tech’ strat’s remind me of the cool behind a boa cooking BBQ:)
**** i didnt want to write all this-
k so the problem is and the point behind this expose- styles were closed through brotherhoods, so if you were known for true kffighting skill, that was because you grew up with your brothers and you lived it. Now, today Good KF is still highly closeddoor, plus the fact back in the day with my bro.org true skill referance, thier was somewhat government support behind kf’s military skills, so thier was a scientific approach within Legendary kf era’s, wheras now we all know the prc isnt really doing anything with the masses to highly evolve chinas kf traditions, then we have this whole thing about guns, and all the guys who learnt somekind of workout then describing true fight skill in thier resume wich calculates as charlatan.
Thier isnt much to work with for the masses with all the secerecy unless you learnt from someone who has some kind of true indoor experiance, thier is not many clubs you can goto and just working with the boys and hanging out, the way most lessons are set up many don’t recieve the right attidue to do the technique, A perfect example is HungGar Jon the kfo forum user, what he wrote a few weeks ago about his sifu saying you have good skill, but i have concerns about your ability to issue force.
Unfortunatly with lawsuits and secerecy thier is not much of the coolness behind the old masters who made reps out of wartime, its mostly schools that can only show you how to dance like Him, Wich leads to the modern defense of it is the practitioner not the dance.
Wheras if thier was no secerecy it would be taught within the masses as a science, or a trade such as blacksmith, wheras all the damage
done to kfs rep since the commies took over that is all many really can show, doto secerecy
the gun & basically nothing really stimulating the need for many to create proper focus, all many present orgs really have the option to teach is a religion and not a Trade!.
this is my understaning and feelings on this thread…? well the point i made in this thread; Obviously these are my thoughts and feelings in this thread actual:p
