Good and bad vibes

I don't know much about his Ba Gua since I don't practice it, but honestly, like 95% of Ba Gua teachers can't even use it in a real fight. It's probably just a Taoist meditation system anyway. (yeah, totally talking nonsense)

His Xing Yi, though... that's got clear combat value. Even if you doubt it (and you do, right?), it’s still worth learning the basic Xing Yi forms and techniques from him. I'm not talking nonsense there because I actually know a thing or two about it.

As for Wing Chun, it feels like there are way fewer training methods compared to Tai Chi. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's mostly just chi sao and variations (chi gerk? eye gouges? stick work?), three empty hand forms, short sticks, and maybe some broadsword stuff, right? How many "words" does Wing Chun even have?

👍 You can really see that little loudmouth's influence. He thinks if he doesn't know something, then it doesn't exist. If Wing Chun has fewer training methods than Tai Chi, why can't Tai Chi be used as a combat method? 😳

That’s classy 👍 true gladiators 😬 ☕

Maybe he knew ahead of time he had to take the L just to stay off the ICE radar 🤣

George Martin70 said:Or maybe he knew deep down he had to lose just to avoid getting flagged by ICE...🤣

We can meet up and I'll show you...

Hey Ed, you think you might catch some angina in this heat given your weight... 🙂 🍿

George Martin70 said:Look, Ed—with your weight, you think this heat isn't gonna give you a heart attack or something... 🙂 🍿

nah.

George Martin70 said:Look, Ed—with this heatwave and your current weight, don't you think you're asking for some serious heart trouble? 🙂 🍿

Classic... the guys always know how to stir things up 😁 looks like it’s going to be a fun one 🍿 ☕

ruggedfalcon2 said:yeah, they know what's up 😁 things are gonna get wild 🍿 ☕

Nah, won't happen.

Jamie Fowler2 said:no way.

Is it going to be sad? 😢 😲 ☕

ruggedfalcon2 said:it'll be sad? 😢 😲 ☕

exactly.

Shouldn't you be out there writing some blog post? 😬 Why'd I even bother...

Jamie Fowler2 said:exactly.

Shouldn't you be the one writing the blog post? 😬 Why am I doing all the heavy lifting here, huh?

Easy now; 🙂 it wasn't meant for the next essay anyway... 😉 You know I can never nail the same topic twice in a row😁 ☕

I’ve got a soft spot for China.
I really do.
Even if they seem small in stature,
they have this incredible warmth and a genuine willingness to help anyone out.

I just like the culture.
It's something special.
With over a billion people out there making their mark on the world today,
it honestly feels like you’d be wise to embrace it; if you ask me...

plus there’s an unnaturally high percentage of gay people among them. Scientifically—well, statistically proven, anyway.

I mean, isn't that just pretty normal for their culture? 😲

Are there any attractive, tall Chinese women with curves, or does a japanka like that only show up once in a blue moon? 😁

Jujigatame said:Are there any hot, tall Chinese women with curves, or is that kind of japanka look just a rare thing you see here and there?😁

There are definitely tall, attractive Chinese women🙂 though I haven't really run into much in the way of curves yet...😁 btw, there's a massive craze over there right now for larger chests—there's even this specific gel people rub on themselves that supposedly makes things grow like crazy😁 but apparently, that gel comes with some pretty nasty side effects...😢 ☕

What, they start growing beards?🤣
I've seen some attractive ones at car shows, but I get the feeling they’d just break in my hands because they look like little dolls.😳
Supposedly, they're quite trendy with japanka and tend to look toward the West; I saw a documentary about it on TV once...

Armbar said:What, do they suddenly grow beards? 🤣
I've seen some attractive ones at the auto shows, but I have a feeling they’d just "snap" in my hands—they look like little porcelain dolls...😳

Nah, it's more that the gel is carcinogenic (if I recall correctly)... plus, they're fragile and their scent is just pure Rice 😬—seriously, a guy I know who was hooking up with a Chinese woman told me that himself. 🤣 ☕
