I have to say no lol but seriously could i get in ? Hi Chizikundo, The "new" forum is not even ready yet at the moment. We are still at the "drawing board" stage. I don't make the final call really. Evert, Russ and Chas will be in on the new setup and membership. Thank you.

My mother often insinuates this, but I don't think so. Only about matters pertaining to my . . . physical stature. Poker, no. Martial arts? Only when fighting. First, LOL @ me running a website. Second, well, yes. I do run a website with stolen content, but it is all adult-rated material. And it's me in all the pictures, so I think it's justified. Nah. I have many forms on video, I know a few of them, but was taken through or taught the forms by actual practitioners. And I don't teach. I'm just barely not a kid. Only if it leads to me winning more at poker. Yes. But that is between me and the Arkansas State Department of Corrections. Only in regards to new poker rules, hands, and tournaments. If only I didn't run that illegal and somewhat morally-questionable website containing pictures of me playing poker in various martial positions which I stole from some website that was spying on me, then I could bask in the knowledge and resources of super-cool people who know what they're talking about? Oh, the warm and delicious irony! ;D

Dear Mr. CStephens,
We regret to inform you that your awaiting Private Club Membership has been freeze in view of the following:-
• That by your own words, you lie about your (ahem) physical size. • That you are a pornographer. • That you did spent time in a correction center. • That even your own mom is suspicious of your “human” status.
And most importantly that, by way of your answers, you appear to be very brainy – even smarter than the committee that set the questionnaire. This is highly intolerable.
So, we will wait to see you behave more “normally” before we admit you. Hahahaha

Eric Di Di ni ha After following this section, full of screening matters, brought my memory back to the Suharto era. In order to be accepted as the public servants and or military personnel, one must went through so many red tapes. Time, stress and of course money must be wasted before a piece of paper (which stated you are "clean") can be obtained. I hope me and others don't have to experience this in order to participate ;D Cheers.

I hope me and others don't have to experience this in order to participate ;D Cheers. Well, Suhana, You know about the presence of that big White Crane fake. So really, I am left with no other alternatives but to do a “by invitation” only forum. The reason why Martin Watts is choosing to stay out is precisely because he doesn’t want to have to deal with characters like that. As for Evert, I have been receiving some of the most unbelievable video clips from him privately. Hakka styles – the likes of which even I have not seen. Very impressive to say the least! I really really think many are going to benefit from watching these authentic traditional performances by old Masters and exponents. Evert shares the same anxiety of these falling into the wrong hands. I am starting to post some pictures from my collection – tip of the iceberg. I want to be able to share classic manuals and text given to me by the various kung fu families especially Fukien and Fuzhou White Crane’s. Likewise, my obligations are to make certain they don’t get abused. Suhana, we are brought up in the old traditions. Mutual respect and brotherhood of Wu Lin. We don’t pinch each other’s materials to sell as our own – fundamental Wu Lin Dao De – you know that. Once you infringe on this, it is all over for you as far as sharing is concerned. In the old days, this is one of the biggest wrongdoings one could be guilty of. Do this is to bring shame to yourself, your family and your ancestors. Unfortunately there are those who don’t really appreciate this at all. So against this backdrop, what am I to do? Stop sharing; that is really against my principles. I see myself as nothing more than a custodian of my family’s art and a conduit to pass it on – to whomever with the right heart. I have to create a safe environment for Evert, Russ and even Martin to interact without having to look over their shoulders all the time. That is also my obligation. And if you tell me you brought something nice back from SF for me, you are invited! hehehe. Thank you kor kor.

d**n, I missed this very important thread! I only noticed it because it was the last post by Eric, at time of this posting.
I think all of us to some extent, have something to contribute that we don't feel completely comfortable in sharing it. I have some very important articles and research on historic figures in Okinawan karate that, have only been published privately; also some that have never been published.
I also have pictures that have never been published but, I'm leary on who gets access to it.
So, I completely understand how you guys feel and can relate.
Time will tell...
Ichya Riba Choo Dee
Regards, Larry

Ichya Riba Choo Dee Regards, Larry Thanks for understanding Larry. You are 100% right - time will reveal everthing. Like we say in Shaolin; I come with open hands - to give and to receive. So it is not about taking only but also about putting back. Martial Arts are about bringing folks, all colors and creeds, together. As long as we are brought up right in our individual MA tradition, we should know and observe the rules. Some of my best buddies are Karate folks in Singapore. Lifelong exponents and we are still about to sit down and talk. And exchange. Without pride or prejudice, we share. And I benefitted tremendously through these sessions (not to mention the free flowing Carlsberg hehehe). I want for all of us to be able to do this in this forum. Otherwise, I might as well be fishing.

Eric Di Di ni hao Ok, if that's the reasons behind all this, I can understand and fully support. If you still remember I've mentioned to you( when you started this forum) that I will support you all the way as long as the purpose is benefited our beloved arts. Ooops, I forgot to set aside something for you, but that's ok if I'm not in the list ;D Cheers.
