What is right with TCMA...

Wai Jia: The Kung Fu Forum Kung Fu Forum

I’m willing to say that not everyone wants to be a tattooed cage fighter and not everyone needs to train like Jens.

With that in mind - TCMA practice is and can be very beneficial. Besides stating the obvious about balance, health and fitness, stress release, flexibility, mental stimulation, mobility improvement, basic self defense, etc… it’s actually just plain fun to do. Even the forms are fun - especially the high flying make you feel like Jet Li ones.

Anyway - just thought I’d put that out there, 'cuz - you know - this is a “Kung Fu” community forum.

kung fu is a way of life… fighting is just a sport. You can play football or golf with the boys once a week, but kung fu carries over in all actions into the rest of that same week…

Mount Mangina had no scenic byways, just one stinky cave.

It’s all location, location, location. My school on Mount Hergina might smell like sturgeon, but it gets good word of mouth.
