Liu Seong Gung Fu

Hi,
There is a simple explanation for your experience. The energetic alignments within your gung fu movement, in combination with your focus, opened some internal energy channels. Being fully 'present' was key in your experience of this 'flow' as you refer to it. If you would have shifted your focus ...

No I didn't. I never doubted his ability, and wasn't interested in being on the receiving end.
I recall him talking about, I believe, Artis Simmons in regards to speed. Something about his tournament fighting, and how he would notice his big toe move before he would punch, and that it was a done ...

GGM Reeders always spoke about the speed of a movement. He would talk about a demo he did when he was teaching in NY. Having a policeman from the audience try to shoot him. He always said a 'good' kung fu movement happened in 1/4000 of a second, and a bullet only travelled at 1200th. So, no contest ...

Hi,
GGM was always willing to demonstrate his skills. I recall a student I met a few times at his house in Albuquerque, who took him up on a claim that he could jump onto the roof of his house. GGM scheduled a time for him to come to his house to demonstrate. This student told me he brought his ...

I included the memory of this Russian wrestling thing, as I wanted to share 'whatever' I recall, be it more or less ...

Hi Mike,
It was his father I was referring to, not his grandfather. I just have a vague recollection about this, that mainly stemmed from a very clear memory of this one story concerning a family discussion in GGM's home about what technique/style is the most powerful , or something like that.. I ...

Hi Jerry,
I am located in Minneapolis, MN.
I stopped practicing fighting technique a number of years ago. Most of my background was in Wing Chun, Yuen Kay Shan style. I learned iron shirt qigong at that time, and I still practice that, for health. About 15 years ago I left an active martial arts ...

Hello,
It was nice to find this forum online dedicated to GGM Reeders. I was fortunate to have studied with GGM Reeders in Albuquerque, NM. The year would have been 1973-74.
I took private lessons from Lui Seong five nights a week, for about a year. It has been interesting viewing websites talking ...
