San Diego / Sarasota / Escondido Wing Chun Kung Fu

Cool! I thought it was great that the guy didn't alter his game even when his opponent picked him up and was holding him off the ground. He stayed calm and let his training win the day.

I pulled out my copy of ''The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna'' and was able to find a picture of your grandmother's uncle, Premananda, as well as a statement by the master that he was ''pure to his very bones''. I am delighted to talk to someone of your heritage. I too, enjoy Buddhist philosophy but I  find very little difference ...

Hi Joy, I have enjoyed reading your input. Sometimes you can tell a lot about a person from only a few words. I find your comment on Yoga refreshing and was wondering if you have ever read anything by Swami Vivekananda and if so what your impressions are.

It can be used within the body to accomplish the ''perfect punch'' but it doesn't add anything to the punch beyond the laws of physics. I hesitate to speak in terms like mass and acceleration because the the human body in motion is an extremely complex, ...

Hi, I was recently discussing the postings about the ''force of a punch'' when it was pointed out to me that it doesn’t include any consideration of internal energy. I was asked to consider why SiGong Rene’s punch felt like ''a needle in the spine'' whereas a student’s punch felt like ''nothing'' in comparison. This got me thinking about ...
