The Yak is wrong (again)

The following typical threads that plague martial arts sites will get moved here if not just deleted: 1 - My style is better than Your style" - 2 - "Internal & External" - 3 - Personal attacks - 4 - Threads that start well, but degenerate into a spiral of nonsense.

The Yak is wrong (again)

He says on the menstruation site:
"Actually the way it's usually said of Hung Yi-Xian (Hung Yi-Xiang was the eldest Hung brother, taiji specialist, Hung Yi-Mien was the little one and the bagua guy, Hung Yi-Xian was the big one who specialized in xingyi), is that it is *easier* to develop internal power quickly with xingyi (which isn't as confusing as bagua or taiji), but that it is also easier to develop higher levels of bagua and taiji (assuming you have the basics) than it is to develop really high levels of xingyi."

Pffft. The eldest of the Hong brothers was Hong Yiwen. But why bother with facts? As to the statement, I'll leave to its own so-called merit.
BTW I started this in BTDT.

And wasn't Hung I-Mien older than I-Hsiang as well? I know he was "littler" in size, but I thought he was older than I-Hsiang....

Buddy, you two guys are sort of connected. :) Last time I was on his sight he was complaining about you sort of out of the blue.

He was wrong about having any skills what so ever.... ;D :P

I wish I'd never given him all that free marketing advice. :(

That's just what shitty people do, Chris. Take advantage of you when you think you can trust them.

It all comes around.

"I wish I'd never given him all that free marketing advice."

"Pearls before swine", Chris. He doesn't have a business model. The distance classes? Pffft.
A membership model for the forum could have worked....except everyone was already getting it for free. A free forum with great content (which frankly this forum STILL does better, even WITH the name change) is a great teaser but there is no viable back end. There never was. I always knew it and reveled in it. Devere is still using his own brand, kept the dot.com, and succeeds. Red Leaves (cough cough)?...just a yahoo group.
Too bad there's no smiley for ROTFLMFAO.
