iai

I get it--SHOW me how to do something, I may or may not "get it."

Let me get my hands dirty DOING IT and chances are that it will stick.

I can't do something. much less practice it, unless I know what to do.
I nearly got in an altercation a few years back with a wonderfully patient
sensei who did not have a clue what I was talking about.
A demonstration
Him, "Did you see it that time?"
Me, "No"
Another demo
Him "Did you see it THAT time?"
Me, "No. Just what am I supposed to be looking at?"
Him, "Everything!"


BTW Happy 4th of July

Is there a way that we could notify or advertise so more people can get on here?

Please excuse my rudeness for a moment. This probably won't happen again but... Like I was saying in the last post here(check it out)

Anyways- FB, I have one, only used it once, but I realized 90% of the people on there are either crazy, mean/rude, not wise in any way or just plain ignorant. And if you get any of those on here it would be a fire fight. Arguenpment would rise and so on. The ignorant people may get taught a few things on he about fighting and they may go to school or on the street and beat up a innocent person for no reason. Again I apologize for any offensiveness.

Hye
good ideas here.

This is my first time posting here, but i have been following this website since 2005, my high school days haha

I am a serious practitioner of Chinese martial arts, particularly baguazhang and mizongquan, although i have broadened my mind by researching other martial arts and their points of view to help myself improve. I tend to look down on the modern sports direction that gungfu is taking, so i am trying to find old and legit ways of training.

I think this website is great as it is, bringing new people from Facebook might be a double edged sword, it will certainty create more activity, but most of them are too rude and egocentric for this site they will just create a bunch of hate.

In my opinion i think this site should stay like a "hermit" place that is not widely known, so only a very dedicated practitioners who develop spiritually, mentally and physically could interact with each other and help each other develop further.

Interesting POV. Seriously.

Love to the site re-bound, come back to life etc etc.

But its quite likely that multi-style sites have come and gone.

Replaced by style specific and organization specific and even school specific sites.

I always liked the idea of people being able to compare styles and notes etc.
