New forum.

[Eric Ling]

Oooookay – got it done.

I started another forum at

wulin2.proboards45.com

This present forum will be kept running – I will still put up materials for discussion etc etc……

But this is serving tea only.

The new forum is password protected – only for specifically invited guests. Not usernames.

Now this is where proper meals will be served.

I will be putting up more materials and video clips from my collection for discussion purposes.

The first subject matter would be comparing all the SanChins – from the various White Crane’s, Hakka San Jin Bow, Karate’s and Tit Sin Kuen – the project that brought Evert and I together.

This would be done with aids of pictures and video clips.

I hope to create an entirely new platform for more intense discussions.

And folks, this is my plan from the very beginning. Get away from histories, conjectures and get down to business proper!

Hate to go round and round in circles.

Hi folks,

For those who are trying to access the new forum, please note that I am still testing out some features.

By now, it must be clear that I like to start things rolling before I invite guests to participate. So I am:-

• Testing to host my video clips for easy access.
• Trying out another format for posting pictures.

So it may take a little while longer.

Plus I will be away again for a week or so. Going to Kalimantan to talk to some Chinese there about starting a new Kung Fu Training Center.

Now that the authorities in Indonesia are more liberal about practicing Chinese cultures, the Chinese Martial Arts Association Kuching has been contacted to help with setup of a Kung Fu school.

I will be part of a delegation in the preliminary discussions.

I think the new forum should be able to rock n roll in March.

In the meantime, please continue to enjoy the tea served.

I am still trying out the video clips uploading – should be ready soon. I got Hakka, Fukien, Fuzhou and Northern video clips waiting to be dished out.

So go ahead starts the ball rolling there.

Received a couple of emails and Private messages asking why I quit this forum that I started. So instead of answering them individually, I am going to do it here.

Yes, I have more or less decided not to be involved in this forum from now on. However, I did, at the beginning agreed not to shut it down and that I will be keeping.

This forum will be left running.

Never really wanted a big crowded place to talk about traditional CKF and other MAs; too noisy

So I have moved to a much smaller place with only a few (very few) friends to share/exchange materials, knowledge and experience.

And the substance is to “SHARE” – giving and taking.

This forum became very unbalanced.

As far as I can see, only very few are really giving. With over 100 members, how many are really contributing?

Some are essentially just signed-up strangers.

Others are only capable of small talks which are okay as a breather; only as a breather.

This scenario was never my plan.

So thank you very much and I wish each of you the best.
