Re: [LiuSeongGungFu] floor work

Hello Sir,
 
I found several of your points interesting and troubling at the same time.  When you say that "There are floor patterns for advanced
students but the problem lies in there are no advanced
students to teach it to because they all leave to go to other
schools.
"  How can you keep from losing this art once your seniors are gone or do you suppose that it will be lost?  Also I wonder what are your thoughts as to why the students seem to go on to other schools?   
 
Thank you for your comments.

Mr.Jackson,
Floor patterns were taught at a very low level in kuntao
they are called childrens art.You learn that as a white sash.
As you advance they are incorporated into your movement so
you wouldn't hesitate or stop your technique.The firs is the
4 star or box and the second is the triangle.Jurah and lankah
are taught in the beginning art of silat and serak and are
not taught in kuntao.There are floor patterns for advanced
students but the problem lies in there are no advanced
students to teach it to because they all leave to go to other
schools.A student in kuntao need not go to any other system
because it will all be taught to him or her.The arts that are
taught today do not reflect the arts of the 60's.When people
respected each other.When I starting in kuntao in 1961 nobody
new what it was.Today they still don't!I hope I answered your
question.George and Mike are good people and thay have my blessing
to teach my art.

Peace
Carl
