Many foreigners have an inflated ego due to the mediocum of success they have here but may not have been afforded back in their home country. Perhaps they would be unhappy no matter their location. They just don't leave because they know they can't cut it back home.

Hi

I study with Huang Shifu at the park in on Renmin Zhong lu with the pagoda looking government building. Sorry I do not know the name.

He is probably the best in Kunming. He teaches there for free on Saturdays and Sundays. Sat lessons are 3-4 hours and Sun lessons are about 7 hours. That's an insane amount of training for free IMHO.

He can teach you tai chi, xingyi, or bagua. You can also start learning push hands immediately. Any teacher that says otherwise raises a red flag with me. He speaks a little english and his teaching style is very much like how a westerner would teach.

His teacher was Chen Shi Tong, so his lineage is legit. I also want to mention that he recently did a seminar for the Chinese Army. I believe that he is also opening a school soon.

You can call me @ 15587200953

Or just come and check it out for yourself one weekend.

I would also like to add that AA is not just for alcoholics it is also beneficial for people whom have had traumatic experiences with alcoholics.

AA is for everyone that has had to deal with alcoholism wether they were the ones drinking or not.

"No personal attack on anyone in this thread, but is it just me, or is it seem oddly out of place or insensitive that amid people having lost their families in a random act of violence, there is a preoccupation with debating tactics and crowd control?"

I agree, and I appologize for my participation in it.

I sent you that message because I did not want to continue the conversation on this thread as requested by several members.

Nor have I ever claimed to be an expert on the police tactics. Nor did I state that that is where I got my information, but that simply that is one source among many that proves that police are trained to shoot at centre mass as opposed to what TigerTiger said.

I simply disagree that police are trained to shoot at legs/extremities in situations such as what happened at the train station. This is my simply my opinion.

Until anyone can provide proof otherwise, I will not change my position.

If anyone wants to continue this discussion over PM's, I am willing to do so. However this will be the last post from me on this thread concerning police tactics.
