Who is champion? Coconut man or Shaolin Monk?? What is the big deal in piercing a soft water melon? Try a water melon with tough skin if exponent's fingers are really powerful!

NOTES ON GOLDEN BELT & SIM POOH HO
===================================

I took the opportunity to ask Pern Yiau about something Ive been curious about ever since I first encountered Nam Wah Pai in 2003. This is about Grandmaster Sim Pooh Ho who is apparently the holder of Gold Belt 10th Dan. Id never heard of a Gold Belt, so as a sceptic this had always been ringing an alarm bell in the back of my mind, as there are so many frauds in the martial arts field. I was curious who had awarded this gold belt? Apparently it was an honorary award presented by combined martial arts bodies of Singapore, in recognition of his skills. Actually, as I write this, I just checked their web site, and the explanation is there, but Id missed it before: In 1986, the Singapore Karate Federation, Judo Federation, Malay Silat Federation, Indian Martial Arts Federation and Tae Kwon Do Federation jointly awarded the Gold Belt 10th Dan to Grandmaster Sim Pooh Ho, for his mastery and contributions to the world of Martial Arts. In that same year, the President of Singapore, the late Mr Wee Kim Wee, awarded Grandmaster Sim the Public Service Medal PBM (Pingat Bakti Masyarakat), for his contributions to Martial Arts in Singapore.

So there we are, now I know! He didnt award it to himself :-D

Somewhere in the conversation, the topic of longevity came up, and it reminded me of something else Ive been meaning to blog for some time (totally unrelated to Nam Wah Pai).

Back in July I mentioned that a classmate from Master Ges bagua class (Marine Parade), and a friend of his, had been discussing martial arts with Master Zhou. They reported back to me that, according to Master Zhou, bagua practitioners tended not to live as long as taiji and xingyi people. Some weeks ago, I happened to ask him about this, via another of his pupils who was translating, and he said no, hed said the exact opposite that, all things being equal, bagua people tend to live longer than the others. I dont remember the explanation he gave, but I wanted to note that what Id been told, and reported before, was not correct

I have not seen anyone from Nam Wah Pai pierce green coconut ..... wonder why.

Questions: why flat stick supports a man's weight but the same side ie stronger side not used in hitting performer? Why use 3 weaker round staff to hit should area when the rest were with flat stick? Why break to show real egg when there is no proof that eggs were really hard-shelled from free-ranging chickens? Why show cucumbers slicing to give illusion that sabre blades were sharp when it is the speed of cucumbers which sliced rather than "sharpness of blade"???????

Lydia Shum in a TVB show she walked across 4 trays of eggs without breaking any. After de show, she said that she just practiced for a week. Thesecret is balancing; keep upright, do not tighten legs, otherwise it will exert force on the eggs. Loosen leg muscles; land softly on them. The trays support the eggs and absorb the forces. The trays are resilent and the cavities in the tray help to prevent the eggs from cracking: breaking eggs after show proves nothing but a con job
