I know, your all probably thinking, 'Not this Hikuta crap again,'

I have trainied in Tai Chi for ten years and learned not only the physicaly but also phylosophicaly,historicaly,emotionaly and scientificaly. To put it blunt, I'm facsinated by Tai Chi and the idea of Chi.

In the past few months I have come across Hikuta. and to be honest, am quite intrigued. I see that it is highly conroversial and that there are many debates of its history and practicality. Never the less, I am still thinking of purchasing Al's DVD's on the subject and begin training myself. I would however, like to ask you lot more about it before I do.

Firstly, is there any evidence to sugest that Kuta, does orinate from Egypt? or is Leroy Crull the firthest it can be traced back?

How can slapping yourself in the chest with your hand make your strike that much faster. I don't want mathmatical equation, I won't understand them. Give it to me in laymonds terms. and both hands into the chest make kicks that much faster.

If you were confronted by a madman with a gun, surley if you strike him, the gun will still be pointing at you. It only takes a quick squeeze of the trigger to fire a bullet into your chest. Perhaps your free hand would be better off blocking or deflecting the gun held arm, instead of slapping you own chest. Yes?

Is Hikuta, really worth learning and why?

i respectfully decline to moderate a sci-fi board, conflict of interest.
i will not tell you why. do not ask. my business contract(s) prohibit me.

i am not omnipotent some people confuse me with omnipotent beings, but i assure you that i am merely a humble being who is not grandoise, nor all powerful. i merely continue to do my job, as such. and well some people say i am powerful, but i am just me.
do not start for me a fan club (again). do not worship me, i am not worthy.
you continuing to insult me should prove to anyone that i am not omnipotent, if i wanted you to stop insulting me, and you continue. it proves i am not all powerful.
sometimes i get the job done when others can't but that is just advantage, not omnipotent.

kuta is not magic, but it exists and is faster than anything else i have seen. it hits very hard. not as easy to learn as some say. everything takes time. i doubt if it came from egypt. i have no idea where it came from . i do not believe dok lee/crull's story. he was the fastest, strongest hitting , toughest guy I've ever met. i have trained with most of the lengendary masters of karate and kempo including parker, shimabuku, mikami, demuro, lewis, wallace, trias, pittaway, noxon, adams, donnelly, Rhee, Kee, uezu, uechi, nagle, long, armstrong, mitchum blah blah blah. Lee had something and he called it kuta. thats all i know, and that's all there is. please don't doubt it, i can prove it and have many times in public, in front of everyone-- here, australia, okinawa, japan, mexico, costa rica, panama, trinidad- anywhere anyone wants to learn.

by the way- i 'm not sure if there is a magical thing called chi. I've never seen it and so therefor i doubt it. perfect technique may be chi for all i know. certain tai chi chuan experts have said that kuta and tai chi strikes have some common denominators. you figure it out, i just practice it. i'm old, i'm fat, I'm fast and i can probably kick your a__. many 'in shape' young dumb-fugs have tried it to no avail
