Fang Shen Do

[TKD Black Belt]

Wow! Um, I stopped watching the Matrix video as I wouldn't be able to get that time of my life back. Also I don't think sJP would want me to bill him for my time, as without getting paid there is no way I'm going to watch that crap.

However (oh you knew it was coming!) here are my thoughts on the 'kicking and punching' segment.

1.) If its kicking and punching why did you open with a take down?
2.) The 'control' techniques? I used to teach 12 year olds with a few weeks of training how to kick a cigarette out of someone's mouth for a demo. You telling me you have to be a Seafood in FSDon't to learn half of that control?
3.) HANDS people! You have them for a reason, practice what you'll do in a fight. (Once again FSD students, why do I know I could beat you in a fight? Because I've seen you practice and you won't change in a live situation, trust me!)
4.) High kick?!? Please, mechanically the body can extend the foot to the upper limit of its range (and this doesn't require much flexibility) with a balistic movement. The upper range you ask? Oh its easy, its the tips of your finger when extended over your head. Now, small gains on that height impress me, mind you I've seen a guy nicknamed La Pous (sorry if my french is bad 'The Flea') and he was about 5'6 and I've seen him break boards at 7 feet (well over his reach!). So a lame jump to that height (and I'm not goig to watch the video again to comfirm this) but didn't he miss the pad?

That's it that's all. FSD once again as predicted the tree was shoke and a monkey fell out. Seems to me that the only thing left in the tree are some what retarded monkeys. Man oh man, seriously I'm not even going to pretend when I visit you're club, I'll be the one in a blue Jiu Jitsu Gi and a disjusted look on my face. Oh, and like a 'real fighter' I'll have a shaved head.

PS - Looks like Seafood's instructor has a video up on YouTube as well! He's not bad.

I wish i took another weapons martial art in the past to compare fsd's weapon work with, but i didnt, so i cant comment on that.

Well dont take our word for it, perhaps you can find someone you know in Montreal that can look at the video for you.



Wouldn't there be some copywrite issues surrounding the use of the Matrix as a base for a video?

[PeterPantsless]

HAHAHA! I love that video! It has been a while since I have seen it! What are my favorite parts? Glad you asked!

I love when they lift mp over thier heads and the dude in front drops to one knee, like jesus just cured his leprosy.

The grappling just plain rocks! Nuff Said.

Walking on glass! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The three spinning kicks in a row. That is somehow supposed to be impressive?

This video is just plain detached from reality. Too many "yes" people in the organization. There is a big MA community out there and they are just not part of it.

Kung Fu Love baby!

Down the Rabbit Hole

Its funny they would use the Matrix as a promtional theme...

Is it becuase like the Matrix in the movies, it is controlled by an evil entity and the actual environment is not real and has no substance? it just exists in their minds?
A figment of imagination?

Life imitates art :)... is the revolt approaching, as people wake up?

I want to see the one where they pull a rabbit out of a hat. Or the one where they pull the shit out of a dog and put it in a bag. Especially I want to see where the students pull thier noses of of si-freeds ass.
Anybody considering a Matrix stlye FangShenDont video? Sort of a de-cruiting tool. Maybe some clever editing we can add a thing or two to the original production. Paint clown noses on everyone or something.

[Crazy Mount]

I love that video. I am still impressed by Martins two finger push-ups though. Might not help you in a fight but it sure is an impressive display of strength. Everything else is pretty much crap and then there's the glass walking which is beyond crap. I chuckle everytime I see it because it reminds me of a story stringfellow told about how impressed this sifu was by seafoods glass walking to which he said, "just look at how he grinds his feet into the shards of glass." Ha bah haha h baha


Still laughing hahhahah

- Does this come with Seafood's special pancake recipe, cause honestly without it the book will be a wash.

- I won't even bother to take apart that press release other than to left Fang Shen Don't know that you can quote as many Noble Price winners as you want, no oe is going to mistakenly equate Seafood with a genius.

Thank you

Management

- Hmm, funny I thought this thread was dead. Funny thing is it probably wasn't going to make 1500 posts. This is of course ruined now and sadly Seafood you will see very quickly that once you've become the laughing stock it is next to impossible for one to be taken seriously.

[BoardHitBack]

Will it be required reading for the fangshendobots?

Will it tell us about the lack of qualifications Sijo has?

Why he couldn't complete James Demile's training course?

Why he is so damned short?

Why he thinks the elbow to the spine is an effective defense against takedowns?

I love the statement "...curiosity (thru internet postings)". Brilliant. The attempted implicit dig of course being no one went to check the place out. Complete bollocks in the face of the facts, sijo. It's also an admission too- he was forced into this position by little old bullshido, and he knows it. He just didn't realise he was saying so.

Please add to the discourse or there will be trouble.

[red-dragon]

sJP, before you publish the book remember to run "spell check"!

Will there be a scratch and sniff section......woof, woof.

Yes and in the initial printing only the first page is included in the package, after that its $5 per paragraph. However it does come with glossy photos of the midget, I mean Seafood delivering fake novelty cheques to various groups around the community.

Come FSD Management, seriously we can punk this for a while maybe you should come on and explain a little more for us.

PS - Can I write the foreword?

[Haru_the_larger]

Please add to the discourse or there will be trouble.

As much as we would like for FSD management to jump into this thread and start talking, they simply won't. It really is as simple as that. It would be wonderful if they actually did something to defend the school, the system, answered some questions, added to the discussion or just about anything else, but they won't. They have known for ages about this thread. They have probably known about it since stringfellow first posted actually. They have acknowledged the thread by talking about it in class. As has been discussed in this thread they believe themselves to be above the rest of the MA world, and they would not debase themselves by coming on here and speaking plainly. The other reason, of course, is that coming on here and discussing things will make sijo no money. I am sure that this book was hastily written during the last three months as some sort of response to what is going on here. Sifu Scott is the only one of the "senior management" to even make an attempt at trying to have a rational conversation on here. Despite repeated attempts, sijo has still not come on. I imagine that one message will be the first and last message from FSD management, other than to perhaps post about the release date of their movie(s) or other books.

IIF - I am Canadian as well for the purposes of your list.

SB - That picture has a 905 area code. I looked it up (the area code that is). It must be the "Toronto" location. With that area code it would be probably on the west side of Toronto going towards Burlington, Hamilton, Oakville and London. Thanks for posting that Matrix video. I hadn't seen it before. Perhaps you could grab and post the "Thrill seekers" video.

[shadow beast]

the only videos i could get were the 2 xmas party videos, the others did not have a download option.

yeah thats the fsd school in toronto, i dont know why i posted it, i like their ad's, they make me laugh, lol (see!)

and about the book, tkd is right, the price is only for the first page, 5$ per paragraph etc, but what you didnt say is you will need to read that book from front to back 6 times, then smack it over your head for your black sash test.
