Meh, take this outside (i.e. off the forum)
eds1275:
Congratulations on getting your black belt. I'm a master at tiger style kung fu, and was thrilled when I became one. You must feel honoured and proud of yourself - it's a lot of work and discipline, and in this crazy world it's unbelievable to find the time to devote to something like this. :cheers:

Sad Indeed.
Firstly, the whole thing is more than likely staged. Cause If this guy is for real,
then Im scared for this world.
The decision to keep the guy out is well warranted. If you cant throw a MT kick
without landing on your butt... then you probably have never had to defend
against one... and are not well equipped to fight against such persons yet.
Also, being that he was so uncoordinated shows he lacks proper balance,
flexibility, awareness, and structure... to be a decent fighter.
The attitude displayed was pure BS. No person of any real skill level would
be such a crybaby. Nor would want to even participate in a cheezy sport event...
let alone beg to get entrance.
If it were me, and I were so inclined to make a point, I would have challenged
the dude personally... stating that if I Knocked him out, I would be instated.
They were quick to silence the dude when he quipped up, but never once
schooled him... which I find interesting. As usually, these guys are itching to
do just that.
Anyone can pull up any style, and find some lackie with a big mouth that
cant back it up with proper execution and technique. You can see it immediately
with the way they move.
(Especially if you are in that style, and know the correct ways)
But individuals do not matter. Its the tools and science that Do matter.
A $100 paint brush isnt going to produce master artwork for everyone. It
takes years of hard earned efforts to gain that mastery. However, if you
give a professional a crap brush... his works will suffer in comparison. Same
You can give a guy a plain old sponge... and they can end up cranking out
paintings which drop jaws. But, give that same guy a real nice brush... and
he will raise to a whole new level of output.
Realistic Qualifications:
1) Do you know it (style/science)? How Well?
2) How much effort invested? (Actual total training/sparring Hours, not yrs as an
artist)
3) Perfected all techniques? (Instant reactions: no need to 'think'?. Full power,full speed, perfect accuracy - every time?)
4) Tested all techs against:
a) Various other styles against high belt/level fighters?
b) against people stronger / taller / longer reach than you?
c) against people faster than you?
d) at full speed, decent to heavy power?
5) Body conditioned to take heavy strikes in all areas of the body?
6) Able to control the mind to free of thoughts and emotions?
7) Willpower, to endure past pains and difficulties?
8 ) Proper Breathing techniques
9) Proper power deliver techniques (reducing almost all losses)
10) In decent physical shape? (required mostly for Sport interaction)
As Ive said before, I could take any typical MMA guy, and make him 10 times
as good as he currently is in about a year of Wing Chun training.
Wing Chun was originally developed to take down an entire army of highly
trained fighters. It was most likely taught to people who were already
good/great fighters. Meaning, they didnt have to learn the basics.. And, the
fighters trained a lot 'out of class'. Todays modern Wing Chun in many places
has not caught on to these facts, and or does not care about the students
potentials. There are some too, that really are brainwashed, and perpetuate
illusion over substance. Real technique, but nothing sound to rest it upon.
This does not change the power and advantages found in the Wing Chun systems.
Hence why many fighters have turned to it, and never looked back.
The post above shows the typical childish ignorance of a low level fighter who
is offended by his own lackings. Instead of learning what makes the style special,
which may in fact make you a better fighter... You simple decide to close off
your mind and stay stagnant. A Defeatist Attitude.
Personally, Ive always had a Positive attitude. I have managed to learn, and
even teach myself things from other arts than the original art that I started out
with. And I continue to learn more and more all the time. Im not satisfied
with being good at one One small window of technique... and I believe in
researching and testing whatever may help me become even more skilled.
Im not threatened or Jealous, so I dont need to post insults and childish
drivel. I will admit I too was a bit stubborn in my own past... but, Ive long since
become wiser to the realities of the arts which I, at one time, least
understood.
I suggest you re-access your own attitude...
And expand your depth of skill and knowledge in the process.
