Didn't you know? There are no real monks. They are just actors hired by the Chinese government with a backround in tumbling. I think a couple of them used to be clowns at the bejing opera.
If you really want to learn about acual fighting go find a strip mall school that teaches Hung Gar. The teacher will say it is tae kwon doe to appeal to the masses, but we know the truth.
I bet Mortal could beat up Yanming in a street fight, in front of Two Boots, with church shoes on, after a wushu class, taken by Yanming after 3 years, 2 years with Hengxin, one year of traditional with Li Peng, where he learned one chi-na move, maybe one take down from a kick, and maybe two applications from a form, but only because the teacher was trying to hook us in to his style because he knew our last teacher was strict and only showed the newer versions of the forms, and made repeat them a million times, not because he wan't you to one figure out the applications but because a performance was coming up and we had to look good for the high schoolers. Yanming would have a chance because Mortal studied for 5 months, on and off, in wing chun with jose grados, in the traditional Street Combat style the grados has proven effective in 300 street fights. How many street fights has Yanming been in? One when he was 13 one of his enemies on the Hunan Wushu Team, which he was on for years before leaving his wife and kids behind, shaving his head and moving to New York with Chen Ying. Oh, he got into that street fight because the enemy was learning all the cool forms and they stuck Yanming him with the kwandao. That slow weak weapon that the fat wushu monks learn. Yanming was always getting shafted so now after years of mental abuse he takes it out in the good students at his school by not teaching them any weapons. If you want to learn a weapon you have to go to china like CHIMAN. Has anyone every seen him do a tornado kick, i mean yanming, Mortal's is way better! I don't think yanming leaves the ground. By the way Jet Li is the real thing, you all just feek bad because you will never land on one foot with the tornado kick and you will never learn the applications to the mantis form, and you will never know chi-na unless you by the book ar take aikido.
Funny post. What the hell. I have something to reply to it. But I don't want a reply. I'm just saying in my opinion because some people don't know what they're talking about. I just want to say.. first of all, Jet Li blows. And I can do a 540 tornado landing on the kicking leg. And I teach Praying Mantis Gong Fu and Qin Na. Haha.. anyway. No need to reply to me. I'm just thinking out loud. hmm..
