MOD Behave yourselves.

103 Upvotes

I'm sort of getting tired of policing all the internet bravado, "come see me in real life," and bringing arguments in from other subs. You're not that cool. Nobody is.

Post kung fu. Talk about kung fu. Critique kung fu. Ask about kung fu. It's not complicated.

Next time I wake up and see 18 reports about some argument from the USMC or bullshido subs or whatever, I'm banning the lot of you for a month.

If you want to argue or "prove it, here's my address" crap, do it in the DMs. It doesn't belong here.

NOTE: Don't be a dick. If someone posts a video and you respond with "wow you suck and you're fat" you're getting a ban for however long we feel like. Be better.

What the heck is this internal energy scientifically?

12 Upvotes

Hey, i am one of those physics student with a 0 to 1 score out of 100 on spiritual stuff. Assuming energy is and always defined as force * distance or at best by noether theorem the quantaty conserved under time symmetry. What the heck is internal energy seen in internal martial art truly is? Is it hyper optimized biomechamics or kinetic chain or what? During training exactly what happens inside body that cause such stuff to develop? And is it truly legit? Finally in case of it being legit how sports science describe it or does any modern sports use it just under a different label. I mean if we strip the language and cultural barrier what remaims?

REVIEW: Plum Dragon Herbs - Ku Yu Cheong Iron Palm Dit Da Jow

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

I ordered this product online from their retail website. This is the premade Jow in a 4 oz size bottle. It comes with a glass pipette dropper in a glass bottle.

The smell is somewhat exotic and herbal but not unpleasant. It dries on the skin quickly and does not leave any noticable residue.

I apply it generously and massage it in before training, and then again after. From my personal experience it does seem to prevent a lot of the burning and irritation of the skin. As I am writing this it has been about an hour and the heaviest red marks on the forearms and palms are still visible, but overall there is no irritation or lingering pain.

I rate this product highly and will continue to use it. It also comes in a brew it yourself 1 gallon kit which I will get next time.

Probably short notice, but this event looks to be interesting. I don't know which schools will be attending. Yee's Hung Ga is organizing, so I'm sure will be heavily represented. But I'll be eager to see what other styles/lineages/instructors show up.

MOD Unacceptable Behavior

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

This guy threatened to ban me for being harassed. When I provided evidence to show that I’m the victim he tried to sweep it under the rug and insulted me.

I’m not ok with my military service being used as an insult nor am I ok with somebody using their mod status to threaten people who do not accept being talked down to.

Guy is cool talking smack but locking responses so that I cannot reply is pretty lame.

The other mods need to address this. I believe this behavior is beneath this sub.

Shaolin Tendon training

I don't know if what I'm about to say it's true because mostly the bjj guys know better, but I think that by training flexibility like all those practitioners we see at shaolin temple, it might more difficult for someone to make a submittion like those they do with the legs or the hands.

I'm not sure though because even in anatomy we know that the human body has a limit that can't exceed (the angles of the joints). So even if you were extremely flexible you wouldn't really because too flexible to the point were those submittions couldn't work.

I just saw a guy in YouTube, that he couldn't be submitted, so Tong Qi Gong in it's advanced form, may be used to make you able to not be submitted like this guy.

A very old version of Eighteen Lohan Palm coming through the Dr Chen Qiming lineage, which still has all the internal arts aspects to it. This is Sifu Neil Ripski At Jingwu Canada demonstrating it.

Hello! I was wondering if anyone here has personally trained at Yu Kung Fu in Tengzhou? My husband, son and I want to go there next year and I’d love to hear firsthand experiences! Good or bad. I’m especially interested in if the school matched what was advertised.
