As I am reading through old posts to find answers, as well as to find questions I have yet to ask,, I came across this thread. There is a substantial amount of quality Q&A here so, I wanted to move it to the beginning of the forum. Train well and be safe.

Thanks sifu, I hope you have a great holiday !

Thank you for your response, Sifu and Kanak, I completely understand and as I was mainly looking for a visual reference to supplement the written instructions, your videos are exactly what I was looking for and will be extremely helpful. Could I get a link to the Facebook group?

So I looked it up, and actually read about using the biu sao as a tak sao, and just knocking the hook upward. Seems like the simplest defense…[Read more]

Yes, I read it. Thanks.

Better to be a a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.

If someone doesn’t know how to fight, they are like a duck in a forest with wolves. Maybe they will go their entire life without getting eaten by a wolf, but it’s a sad way to live, completely dependent upon the hospitality of others.

I want to be a good fighter, that’s why I…[Read more]

“Also, regarding your question, why would you want to enter a situation of danger knowing full well that you are not permitted to use half of your arsenal?”

So I can get better at fighting. When I use to do muay thai, we would spar in class, and after getting punched in the face a few times, I became a lot more confident, and people that weighed…[Read more]
