Kung Fu on the Entire-Net

Quite sometime ago I created a Youtube account for the Kung Fu school, planning to post videos of what we do at the Black Dragon Kung Fu Society. I envisioned all of the school's forms, countless examples of self-defense training, sticking hands, and sparring, maybe even tutorials and lessons. Now, two years later, I am finally getting around to it. So far I have seven videos posted with three examples each of self-defense and focus mitt training, and this video I posted yesterday of the Choi Lay Fut form we do called Siu (small) Moi Fah (plumb blossom) Kuen (fist):

I'm currently trying to rustle up some help with this project. Off the top of my head, I can think of Thirty Four(!) different forms that are done in our school. I can't do that all alone. Well, maybe I could, but I don't want to. Not to mention that most of what we do in our school is two person exercises, and I would like to get as much variety of people as possible. Wish me luck!

Die Antwoord


So, this band has been blowin' up all over the internet for the past week, and I've been following it every step of the way. I'm not sure what to say about them: they are South African. They're strange. They have attempted to mix Rave with Rap. . . I dunno. For all intents and purposes, I should not be at all interested in them, they are not actually producing good music, they are rapping about topics completely alien to me, and at times they are completely offensive.

But Goddamn they are really compelling. I can't stop listening to them. I can't wait for them to release their album $O$ later this month.

Here, this is a good, and hilarious, sample of what they are about:


Crazy, right? Anyway, I just thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and finally blog about it myself.
