first off i would just like to thank tim and everyone here for such a great resource!
i think the atmosphere here is great. i've been lurking for a few days and i see a lot of "positiveness" going on.
so anyway...
my name is ashe and i have been practicing chinese martial arts for the last 6 or 7 years. for those of you who don't know, saying "chinese martial arts" is how the kung fu geeks get respex. :D
i'm currently training for my first san da match next month. (san da means "free fighting" in chinese and i'ts basically full contact kung fu... it's kinda like 3/4 mma . more take downs than thai boxing, but no ground fighting). here's a link if you've never seen a san da match;

anyway, here's a few links to check out and see where i'm coming from
training highlights (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAnsXccJUXI)
me on the news, short overview of the art (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCcAihpTEOY)
workshop clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OUOUz8J1x4)
i've done too much strength work over the last few years, and so i'm sure you'll notice i'm a little stiff at some points in these clips.
recently i've started working a lot more with pads and the bags, working to become more fluid and bring out the explosive force. (which is why i'm here... looking forward to learning a lot from you guys).
so, to wrap up, while i think there will be some differences in the way i approach my training compared to some other people here, i'm still looking forward to learning how i can get the most out of my new tools!
thanks again!
