That’s exactly right this forum has gotten lammer than the lamest duck. But don’t give youself so much credit Sui - because frankly speaking I don’t recall your posts as being a least bit memorable.
There was a bit of fun i had with this Hung Kai Vun guy who wanted a wheel chair challenge with me on the Jerry springer Show. That was memorable as i didn’t think he was that stupid.
There were a few others from Australia (or so they say) who think that I’m someone else like goktimus. But they too have departed from the scene. Not to say that they had much to speak about - its just that their repetitiveness and lack of vocab suggest that they must be from some inbred rural town.
There’s afew who happen to be quite smart - but generally speakiing, the southern kung fu community is a close minded lot. Lacking the athelitism to do northern kung fu, they settle for something less phycially challenging, below self defence or performance arts.
Anyway I have returned again to this forum, if not to educate a new brunch of freshies, to breath some life into this dying community you call a southern kung fu forum.
Believe me, I’m one of your greatest fans on this forum, but I’ve often wondered why, if we southerners are all so terribly pathetic in your esteem, would you squander so much of your precious time on us? Wouldn’t your time be better spent learning and growing in whatever art appeals more to you? Or is it better to be a big fish in a small pond?
Why? because the well being of every human being on this planet matters. I am happy to speard some good words, hope and eduacation to the miserable existence of some on this forum. Clearly the way southern kung fu is being taught is in need of reform. Too long have well meaning students served under the yoke and lies of southern masters. They pretend to offer self defence - yes self defence after 30 to 40 years of training. It takes less than 25 years for a child to gather most of what they need to be an adult - but 40 years before they can defend themselves? this is utterly nonesense. But southern masters in their cunning ways have been brainwashing their students and instilling outdated chinese culture to them. As a result many on this forum believe that they require to take part in chinese cultural events in their kung fu. Again this is a waste of time. What these southern masters are doing is ensuring a life time annuity from each student and breed a new generation of that is based on lies and deception.
Southern Kung fu is in need of reform. Although it may be unpopular in the beginning I know I am right and will be vindicated in the end.
Ok, before the death match gets started, let me see if I can provide a moments entertainment for Sui with my feeble attempt to answer his question.
Sars and Kung Fu. Well, I bet traditional Chinese medicine practitioners have a treatment, probably nothing beyond any regular “stay healthy” aid.
The idea being to make yourself an unasailable target to the disease, to fight it by keeping yourself in your best health, a hard target. Running at 5% fatality rate (last I heard, please chime in if you have better info) Sars is by no means a death sentence, but facing it nevertheless requires you to face death and other base fears.
I read about a man who hung himself when he thought his wife had Sars, they found him hanging in the hospital room when they brought back the negative results.
So, now tell me Sui, have you learned anything new on your current trip to Hong Kong?
I just came back from my Wudang trip…(organise agreement with San Feng Wushu Yuan [You Xuan De] as Aus rep)…but I think it is futile…as I sit here barely breathing hoping to overcome this **** thing…
uuurgh…
Awww crap. I had lots of questions for Shaolin Master … and now he’s croaked ! I shall wander endlessly in wonder and ignorance I guess … no wait ! There’s still some here who hold knowledge to all, isn’t there ?
no i haven’t. still learning through a glance"left and right"moves of len fa shui is blossoming,but the mental practice of"if i should not if i could"leaves me in torment?i have excelled in my search for balance but keep falling…the roots are stronger but lack a certain leaf wich will fall,frail in autumn.
Yes, indeed! I see your search for balance continues with enthusiasm, even if you still doubt the value. Falling is as much a part of climbing as rising, perhaps more, as with out the fear of falling, the climb is worth less. What value is a good view versus conquering death?
You’re not a young man, you already know what you could. I know your temptations, perhaps even share them, to some extent, but this is not the future. Will it be wrenched from your hand or will you yeild to it as stone yeilds to wind?
New Students? Yes, most interesting is a Wing Chun student coming to learn. I get to touch his hands a bit, he’s not a novice… I think he has promise, if he decides in his heart to change style. If he just wants to add it together, he’ll muddle for awhile and lose interest I fear.
I’ve always been told you can teach Pak Mei over other styles, and give them Pak Mei power, but I have to admit, it doesn’t always work that way. Some styles are more “adaptable” than others. The untrained novices seem to progress fastest.
