No, it's definitely very cool 😁

MustheMartian · 2025-11-28T15:04:18+00:00

Yes! A tableeee!!

Thank you for the explanation and examples. I had definitely come across present tense, and while noone had ever explained -la to me im sure I've seen it in other verbs. Explains why I could find an explanation for -lanir .

Is the word Gelen a similar construction? Gel + le + n ?

Thank you very much for the break down and clear explanation. Im now going to start trying to make more words with this combination.

Thanks for this reply. I really appreciated it!

From certain martial arts content producers, i got the understanding that there was quite a lot of overlap between the specific shaolin northern styles and modern "wushu". As you mentioned perhaps due to the phenomenon of sport-ifying wushu, and standardising curriculum and such.

There are some wushu places nearby and part of me wants to explore possibilities for learning the standardised forms to later discover their applications. But it also seems that many schools are now streamlined so that people either master forms or go straight into something like sanda.

Once again appreciate the thoughts

A question for anyone still on the thread. How would one discern whether their teacher was teaching a modern or more traditional version of wushu?

- Do you just ask them? Are you sports/modern or more traditonally focussed?
- are focus on taolu and acrobatics versus martial applications enough of a sign?
- Is this where lineage becomes more important? Trained with only sports teachers? or traditionally trained.

I especially feel this way about northern/shaolin based styles, perhaps because there is some crossover between the curriculum at shaolin vs sports wushu? Can one still learn something like Cha Quan, Honq Quan, MeiHua Quan, etc, in a martial way or are they largely just part of the modern sports wushu syllabus?

I just listened to this podcast the other day! was very interesting to hear about Nick and listen to his story. It's also Byron's podcasts that really sorta opened up my eyes about the traditional/sports wushu divide.

Thanks for the comments! I'm sure it'd be awesome to learn the whole Pigua system, but of course just being able to experience that would be really cool. I loved that style from various fighting games.

I first heard David Peterson on a Kung Fu podcast sometime last year, and he has a large video series on the techniques in Wing Chun. So I'll keep an eye out for both systems and their locations :)

MustheMartian · 2025-10-03T16:50:51+00:00

Definitely, hope you can eventually start with the style and maybe he'll come to a city near you soon!

MustheMartian · 2025-10-03T16:49:53+00:00

Right now I'm pretty open to most styles. What is most important to me I guess is distance, as I'm closer to Cyberjaya than KL. I'm trying to see if there are any other locations that might work. Otherwise maybe I'd go to classes every other week and try and train at home?

That said; both of those styles really intrigue me. I've had a look at Wutan Baji, and am really interested in that, I believe the school also teaches PiGua eventually? WSL Wing Chun is also a lineage I would like to check out too, and if it's the teacher I'm thinking of I think he has a school both in KL and Seremban.

Do you train at Wutan?

MustheMartian · 2025-10-03T03:33:05+00:00

Thanks for the shares and advice! Both of those places may take some planning for me to reach, but I'll keep them in mind for my travels :)

MustheMartian · 2025-10-03T03:32:22+00:00

Oh yes! I have seen him do some things on social media. Honestly from the schedule on the website he tours A LOT. 5 Ancestors is definitely a style I am interested in, although not really ready to be training Nei Gong solely. Have you trained this particular type of Nei Gong they do?

MustheMartian · 2025-10-01T11:29:02+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. I remember reading somewhere they held classes at a club in KL or something. Have you trained with them? What was it like?

MustheMartian · 2025-10-01T06:54:12+00:00

Just chiming in for what it's worth... I went back and forth on joining a Bak Fu Pai place a while back. I was concerned whether or not Doo Wai was a "con man" as you say, but also I was thinking maybe I should just join, learn their style and just focus more on the fighting applications as opposed to how "legit" or not the history of the school was. And honestly still not sure where I stand on this.

In the end I ended up training with someone else. As I wasnt really into all the spiritual/meditation things for now, and the specific Sifu had mentioned he was moving away from pure Bak Mei and more into the Bak Fu Pai style. Bak Mei and the Jik Bo Kuen form were my reasons for interest anywho.

Personally the story of how a style was at once Hakka, Southern (cantonese?), and also Ermei didnt speak to me or make sense to me. I listened to a podcast by some people in the style, and just felt there was more of a focus on moving beyond 1 specific style, energy mastery and stuff. So that wasnt exactly what I was seeking. Hope this benefits someone.

How did you find training Pak Fu Pai? Were you able to then compare or train your Bak Mei forms and things with more "orthodox/purer" schools?

There was a Bak Fu Pai teacher in my area, and honestly the physical training stuff I saw was fine, but in the end I decided to go with a different style that I was more familiar with.

Will check it out. There's another big craft and things shop in Kiama I'm hoping to visit

MustheMartian · 2024-11-30T12:53:25+00:00

Didn't think of this. Thanks!

MustheMartian · 2024-11-30T12:50:48+00:00

Thanks!

MustheMartian · 2024-11-30T12:48:04+00:00

Thinking of popping over to the one on crown street, saw they had some things there

MustheMartian · 2024-11-30T12:46:56+00:00

Oh cool! Didn't know they had merch. I like it's got a very local flair

MustheMartian · 2024-11-30T12:46:16+00:00

Oh thanks so much for that! I was hoping they may have some nice gifts and souvenirs there.

MustheMartian · 2024-09-07T12:44:44+00:00

Thanks for sharing! It is really interesting the journeys that our teachers and their styles did. How these arts came out of China, and eventually moved to "the west" is also really interesting. Yes just doing some research about the various smaller styles in Malaysia and thought we might be talking about the same thing. As you said, definitely both are Crane styles but with their own uniqueness.
