White Crane: an Overview Part One

[Jenner]

Hi
I read your website and i have a question.
Have you ever met Ruan Dong?
What is a technical advisor?
Can you give me a contact number or email address for Ruan Dong?

As stated clearly, I was viewed in May 2005. A Technical Advisor is just that, someone who advises on technical issues such as techniques and forms etc.

I could give you an address/phone number but for what purpose do you want it. Are you truly interested in his teachings? I am sorry but I don't see the connection.

Please tell me something more about yourself. Where are you located? What is your art? What do you know of White Crane? Why are you interested in Great Master Ruan Dong and or White Crane?

Hi,
‘Hooking up’ and ‘He viewed me’ does not state clearly who your teacher is.
If Ruan Dong is your Sifu then say so, don’t call him a technical advisor if he is your Sifu that would be disrespectful to him wouldn’t it…

Maybe it is just me, but, what is a “VIEWING”?

As for myself I am relatively new to martial arts. I have studied karate for about 5 years and enjoy every minute of it.
Is it so hard to understand why a karate guy would be interested in Crane style?

He is my Sifu. He saw me and made several rather kind statements, that is he "viewed" my White Crane.

I'll not be drawn into any politics. If you want to discuss White Crane. Moving on ........

Hi,
You mean you learn from video?
Wow, are you saying Ruan Dong teaches via video correspondence?

And I am not being political, you posted your overview and I asked about it.

Brian, with respect, the answer is no.

if I may, where are you located?

You don't know the questionable Jamie Scuffell do you?

Hi,
I’m not getting political.
I’m just looking for a straight answer.
I asked you who your sifu was and you said that Ruan Dong was your technical advisor. Now that’s not a real common term you see in martial arts so I asked you what it meant.
You told me Ruan Dong viewed you, and you hooked up in May 2005.
You have not studied, not trained, but have been viewed by your sifu who advises you technically.
Have I got that right?
So where did your learn your white crane kung fu?
I am located in NZ.
Never heard of this Jamie Guy.
And as per the Moderators wishes please keep the discussions on subject.
With respect,

Brian

You seem more interested in me than in White Crane or Great Master Ruan Dong .... out of your 7 posts on this board, 6 are about me .... I'm flattered to have such attention. If you want more info on me please go here:

Your sure that you don't know Jamie Scuffell?... you sound like one of his students.

Other than that mate, what about White Crane interests you? ... as this is the subject of the thread.

Where in NZ are you? Do you ever get across to Oz?

Jade Tigress,

Thanks for your post. I will attempt to keep this conversation on topic
