      Hahaha! Dude! I've heard ALL of that before! I have allready stated, that I am no master, and I have allready stated, that its my oppinion, I am not saying its a fact. So stop pushing, all your doing is taking the bait and getting fired up when you shouldnt... and technically, true martial artists should be calm and composed =P and yeah, a simple question right? Haha! It happens all the time.

        Taking the bait? Fired up? Hardly, just pointing out the opinions of the men who founded the art and made it what it was before fakes and frauds words were heard more often than the founders. I knew at the point you said you were lazy and obese that you weren't serious about anything except trolling.

          Hey! just coz I'm morbidly obese, doesnt mean I'm a troll. No but seriously... I can call myself whatever I feel like, and it has nothing got to do with trolling, its just called having a sence of humour dude. And you were getting fired up, but whatever. Why should you care about my oppinion? I mean I feel rather honored you took so much time to chat with me, but still, the oppinion of some dude you dont know, halfway across the world, honestly shouldnt matter to you man. I state mine, you state yours, we agree to disagree, and go dancing with the a pixies in the magical garden of wonders. But instead, I state my oppinion, and you try to change it, fair enough, so I state it again, and say it wont change, and you try change it again. Now even you must admit, that it is pretty stupid.

                      The tapes of Dr. John Painter are superb.

                        Yes, If you want to learn to move people by controlling their Chi (and without ever touching them) Painters tapes are superb, however if you want to learn authentic Baqua with a verifiable lineage, you should look elsewhere.

                          While I am not a bagua practitioner myself I like the fighting strategies shown. Nothing to do with Chi.
                          if you want to learn authentic Baqua with a verifiable lineage, you should look elsewhere.
                          Ten years ago I was caring about lineages but now I am only interested in what is sound, simple and works in REAL fight. And train and teach likewise.

                            ttescrima, you are flat out wrong.

                            TTescrima,

                            You are plain out wrong about Jiulong Baguazhang and Dr. Painter.

                            We do not use Qi to control people.

                            We believe in using reality when it comes to fighting.

                            Again all you seem to do is snipe at us.

                            Anytime anyone would like to see how this system is used is invited to come visit me and see firsthand. I will demonstrate anything you want.

                            It would not be anything that talked about Qi, rather it would based on sound principles that help me to unbalance and strike and throw and project people.

                            Lineage means nothing in a fight. What are you going to do? Scare them with the history of your style??

                            I agree with the poster before: Lineage means nothing. All that matters is the efficacy of the material in action.

                            I know way too many people all over the world who look good doing form based Baguazhang and they could not fight their way out of a paper bag.

                              I've already posted the videos of Painter using chi to control people in this thread. I guess that wasn't really Painter eh?

                              I told you before, I've got first hand experience with Painter, I don't need to see a student of his to know what Painter tried to teach me.

                              If lineage is SO unimportant please explain why Painter tried so hard to create one with his claims of being taught by people who didn't even exist, or why he lied about the Ranger claims, for a teacher unconcerned with lineage he spent quite a bit of time photoshopping himself into pictures and creating BS stories for his website.

                              Yeah I met some of those people with BS lineage claims who tried to teach esoteric BS, oh yeah it was...DR...American Ranger...PHD...Painter.

                              It isn't just my take on Painter and his BS...check any freakin' forum you like and everyone reports the same BS.

                              Check out the forum discussions at Kung Fu magazine for one, why don't you post up the famous pictures of Painter and his teachers? We could all use a laugh at the piss poor photoshop job, I see he took them off the site after everyone pointed out how ridiculous they were.

                              John Painter - Kung Fu Magazine Forums


                              The simple fact is you may be an excellent teacher/fighter Dale, but I met Painter and the BS he was teaching back then was laughable. You may well have surpassed him because it wouldn't have taken much skill to do so. Perhaps you're so vehement about lineage because you realize yours is questionable to say the least. If lineage isn't important then stop calling the things you teach Baqua. Admit Painter read some books, watched some videos and made shit up and call it John Painters fighting arts, oh wait most people wouldn't pay for that without the lineage claims would they? All his faked titles, pictures and Ranger (lineage) claims were created to sell the art because he couldn't sell his art on it's own merit.

                                Guess nobody took you up on it the first time. We have 3 students from this forum that came cross country after reading what we posted. And at the time we didn't have a youboob page with a crap load of vids on it.

                                Maybe nobody is interested.
