Maybe, just maybe with all the thousands of gung fu styles and sub-styles, one flavor might be Chow Mein and another could be Beijing Duck, but is takes one ignorant bastard to declare the other non-traditional because it lacks his noodles!!!
Only on RSF!

I don't do Sanda. I do TCMA. They are different. They look different. I'm not saying that there are no overlaps, but it looks fucking different. The techniques are different. The strategies are different. Any teacher that claims to teach CMA should be able to use what he has learned and it shouldn't look like fucking Sanda. It also shouldn't look like a girly tantrum or Tuishou. There is no big secret here.

Thanks for your comments. Could you provide a link to a video that you have seen that demonstrates TCMA sparring?

Plus, before I left my master I was training my balls off every day to learn as much as I could and not thinking much about getting you evidence you should already have if you really do train TCMA and can use it. I just wrote a lengthy explanation that was conveniently ignored.

I only saw Sanda. Where are your TCMA videos?
