Thank you for your kind words.All the best to you on your journey,

Sifu Moore

The monks actually choose to have it in an open forum to have an "exchange" of information is how they describe it. That was completely their idea. This was not a fight as I would attack using different weapons.

I read about the full situation and I understand now. Sorry, I was shocked to see this so I reacted to quick. But I read sifu Moore learned from the monks and received some kind of certificate?

[shamo69]

Yes the Head Warrior Monk (the one in the video) actually trained him in Chan Wu and he was awarded a certificate of "attachment" to shaolin.

Why couldn't you do this in private and not infornt of everyone? You have something to prove?

[shamo69]

You may have the wrong impression. Actually it was originally planned to be in private involving some other Sifu's.I was not expecting to do anything with the monk myself.

@SyncTheInternet True. I never said the WC sifu was mad though, I said he freaked out because he was nervous, and thus lost control. Friendly spar's usually should build up. As one guy goes more, you go more, no one just all of a sudden go out out of nowhere and make contact when your opponent is stopping to give you some room.

[wonphi]

monk would have destroyed that guy if like he said, he didn't hold back. He didn't know to what extent that "friendly spar" would be. That usually means no contact. That WC guy obviously was nervous and lost control, and hit the monk while he moved back, while the monk was not pressing forward because he didn't want the WC guy to run out of space.

Clearly the slip up was from the WC guy for freaking out since "friendly spar" means no contact, just exchange of hand techniques.

No disrespect to the monk, but that was quite an impressive spar by the big guy.. Fast and accurate.. All credit to GM Cheung,for the Art and the intelligence of stopping it before things got "political" if you know what I mean..

I couldn't make the trip with Sifu Moore and my other WC brothers but those that did make the trip said that Sifu Moore and the Monk became good friends after that friendly exchange.

i just want to make a little comment on this clip and pay my respects

the display from sifu Moore was outstanding (did look a little like western boxing - but i think that was without the 'forward pressure' that SiFu Moore says he wished he had given)he put the monk to shame and it seems as though the only reason that Grandmaster Cheung said to stop was that the hosts (shaolin) where about to get embarrased as Sifu Moore had nowhere 2 go but forwards

i have also read your internet comments
