what is slt training is for?

[QUOTE=Scott R. Brown;986123]Hendrik is a nut and demonstrates very little social skill. At least very little, what is considered, social skill in western societies. Perhaps he fits in well with other Asians, but he is apparently inept when attempting to socialize with westerners.

Hendrik has a reputation on this BB for being arrogant, narcissistic and obtuse. He acts as if he knows everything, but won’t deign to bestow any actual “wisdom” (read: “information”) on the “ignorant”!

He tends to criticize others without providing a rational argument, or information, for his opinion. He tries to act like the stereo-typical Asian wise man, but ends up looking like a fool!

Having said that, he does “accidentally” say something of value on rare occasions.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for your comments.

BTW. I am not here to play “I kiss your A$$ you Kiss my A$$, and boost both to be the master and expert.” if that is what the social skill you are expecting and the society you are living in.

You know the topic, show your beef. if not why wasting you life pretending to be some one who you are not? It is a suffering isnt it to keep pretending ?

If you get what is my message

Way too much noise to signal there, bud.

23

Hendrik dreams of being “awake” telling others that dream to wake up…:stuck_out_tongue:

@ Hendrick

You are probably very knowledgeable regarding Wing Chun. But your written English skills/style are lacking. Maybe you should have a native English speaker proof read your posts. We don’t want to misinterpret any of your insights.

27

To keep it simple. I equate SLT/SNT as the home keys on a keyboard. You need to have your fingers on the home keys or you’ll type garble.

With due respect to what you think of Hendrik, he’s only an single drop of water in the Asian gene pool. Does what we posted on these threads reflects what or who we are? Can we assume this same mind set applies to anyone that has an different view point? Such as yourself … or better yet, our infamous Mr. T. No need to go there please.

Peace and love, flower power man!

[QUOTE=Hendrik;985573]a good Set was created to serve a purpose in a unique way.

and the purpose cannot be everything.
also it can not be as everyone intepletation — or as one likes it.
It got nothing todo with who one learn it from or the name or title of one’s sifu.

So what is doing SLT is for? Be totally specific which can back up by your ability which attain by doing SLT.[/QUOTE]

without skill the form has no essense so one has to start from the form. if one has essence then the form is alive and one no longer needs it..

Before anyone misunderstands, as it appears you may have, my post was not a comment about Hendrik’s race, but was a comment upon his behavior on this BB and a conjecture as to why he is a social misfit, which may be because of the difference between the Asian/Chinese culture and American/Western culture. The social rules of each culture are different. What appears rude or inappropriate to one culture may be perfectly reasonable and acceptable behavior in the other!

BTW my wife is Asian and this is how I know that the difference in the social rules between cultures may be a problem with Hendrik. I have experienced the differences personally and anyone who has experienced a culture other than their own for any length of time would understand this as well…..assuming they took the time to reflect upon it with an open mind absent their culturo-centric bias.

[QUOTE=wtxs;986330]Does what we posted on these threads reflects what or who we are?[/QUOTE]

Yes it does! But each person’s interpretation of the behavior/comments of others is subject to personal bias based upon what each of us brings with us and therefore subject to flaws, but it is all we have! It is also why others may disagree and post their disagreement thus providing insights from other perspectives than our own.

[QUOTE=wtxs;986330]Can we assume this same mind set applies to anyone that has an different view point? Such as yourself … or better yet, our infamous Mr. T. No need to go there please[/QUOTE]

It is not Hendrik’s “view point” that I was commenting upon, but his “well established” conduct on this board which reflects the very characteristics I mentioned in my post in question. With only 28 posts so far, it is doubtful you are as familiar with Hendrik as are most of us long term BB participants.

His behavior is nearly always cryptic, condescending, and narcissistic. I accept that this attitude may be due to differences in culture and Hendrik’s inability to present himself adequately to those from a different culture, or it may be due to his innate personality which appears to be arrogant, condescending and narcissistic.

But everyone will draw their own conclusions from their own experiences, which are only “specubation” (inside joke)!

Peace, love, and rock and roll to you too!:slight_smile:

Hello Scott

Yes I’m an newbe to posting, but I’ve been visiting this WC forum almost from the beginning, am very familiar some of the many colorful personalities, although some hasn’t been around for awhile. Never jointed in on any blogs, I told myself that I need to jump in to test the water and swim amongst the shark to see for myself what it feels like.

Thank you for the clarification, I’m well aware the post is about Hendrik, his personal traits and his social skills. But when you inject his lack of social skills into quote - "Perhaps he fits well with other Asians’ of your post, it does not leave much room for interpretation, never less I get what your are trying to say, and by the way..well said.

I have posted on another thread, Hendrik is smarter than we all give him credit for, he likes to throw things out there and see others fight over it, I’ll have to give him a 10 for trolling skill. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hi wtxs,

I am still not sure I understand what you mean here? When I said, “Perhaps he fits in well with other Asians”, it was meant to be a reference to people of a specific culture being more easily accepted/understood by others who are from that same culture, not the exact racial traits of being Asian. The social/cultural traits of Asians are more familiar to other Asians than they are to non-Asians and therefore may not be considered rude according the their own culture.

My intent was to imply that my assessment of Hendrik’s personality traits are possibly do to behaviors that are common and therefore considered normal to Asians among Asians, but considered rude to those from a western culture. This was then intended to imply I understand I could be misinterpreting his behavior which is not meant to be rude even though it appears rude!

I hope I made myself more understandable. :slight_smile:

Thank you sir, that’s the answer I was hoping for. I’m sure there are others here some times spouts things that can really jacks our jaws, and we some times quick to respond with that at- the-moment emotion. we’re cool. :slight_smile:

What if I am just a mirror and what you see via my post is your ownself?

[QUOTE=Hendrik;987459]What if I am just a mirror and what you see via my post is your ownself?[/QUOTE]

What if you are full of yourself and everything I said is true? What if you are fooling yourself and can’t face the truth about yourself? :eek:

I don’t want to go back through the archives Hendrik and bring up your plethora of condescending and idiotic comments, but anyone who wants to take the time and do if for themselves can come to their own conclusion. Why anyone would want to do that though is beyond me.

I am happy to take you as you are! I am not perfect either.:slight_smile:

Tell us do you practice WCK’s SLT at all? If so who is your sifu? if not what are you here for?

If you were paying attention and reading my posts it would be clear to you why I am here.

Who is your sifu? Do you practice WCK’S SLT at all? What can you tell us about YOUR practice…if not why are YOU here??:confused:

Hi wtxs,

I am thankful you gave me the opportunity to make myself more clear. One of the complications with written word communication is that we often think we are saying one thing, but others read something else. We lose facial expressions, word inflections and emotional content when writing so we do not have immediate feed back unless someone takes the time to let us know we are being unclear. I appreciate that you took the time to let me know I was being unclear in my comments.:slight_smile:
