Wah Lum Exploration

Saaaaayyy, I know you!

Welcome to MT!

I think you missed one:
Chen tui
Dun tui
Wan chan tui
Tam Tui
and then the one we learned last night, which I still pronounce as mumble-mumble tui

Also, lol at 'Egghead'

This isn't my first rodeo.

Bonus then but when you spar you should look like you study CMA, not the old PKA kickboxing matches. Know what I mean? That's what I'm talking about.

Also, it seems as if sparring means two man techniques, as far as I can tell. It's strongly guided.

Two man sets/drills/etc... are big time important.

After the first week, I stopped acting like I had any previous MA training and gently set aside any TKD or Karate that seemed similar. When I spar, it will be based on what I've learned here.

Two man sets/drills/etc... are big time important.

The least regulated thing I've seen, so far, is what appeared to be a brief free-spar. At some point in that free-spar, though, Sifu called for the current technique to be implemented.

The punches certainly sound right, though 'caho' comes across sounding more like 'chow'. I cannot say for the stances. I only did those like the first week.

Yeah... the "caho" is a typo I didn't see til now... :uhyeah:

It's Chao... WTF is a "caho" I wonder...

 

[OnlyAnEgg]

See? That's funny. I immediately took it as a dialectical difference!

Also, post #4000

Now do you see why Cantonese is devil talk

If you used the language of the chosen...Mandarin.... it would be zhao and there would be no problem at all

 

[OnlyAnEgg]

I like Madarin oranges...that's close, right?

That Mandarin Duck and a walk on the Great Wall (close to Beijing of course) and your there

 

[OnlyAnEgg]

If I am fortunate enough to visit the middle kingdom, I will not let dialect stand in my way

I don't think I like duck, though

That's ok...I didn't like it either until I had it at Quanjude in Beijing...

or ch'uanchute (I think) for those that speak devil tongue

lol...and Liz was concerned about hijacking this thread.

Phfft.... leave that to me

And to get back on track

How is the training going, I have been wondering about it.

 

[OnlyAnEgg]

It's going remarkably good. I was asked to move up into sparring and weapons beginning next month. I feel good about that. We've done 8 Fists and are beginning 8 Kicks, which hurts like hell. I'm going to 3 classes and 1 or 2 open mats a week.

Fun!

Oh, and one of my sisters joined here yesterday.

 

[Xue Sheng]

Out of curiosity; what weapon does Wah Lum start you out on?

 

[OnlyAnEgg]

It'll be a waxwood stick.

Yep... been there... done that!

Quanjude had really duck... for Northerner's... hehehehehehe... Seriously though, that was my first duck experience & it is really some seriously good duck. I didn't hit all the street vendors I wanted to though. I really missed out on some straight up get to know your surroundings food.

My preference is still the luscious, golden brown skinned Hong Kong BBQ duck... get in my way while reaching for a piece & it could result in loss of fingers.
