goldisheavy Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Funny "master" Mak is back with his daoist baseball http://www.youtube.com/user/Chiinnature#p/a/u/2/FoHd0lNWsvo LOL YM Is this a different "Mak"? I assume you're referring to Mak Tin Si. Someone please correct me, but "Mak" is just an honorific prefix, right? If yes, there are probably many different "Maks" out there in the world. Also, those movements really look like sword movements done with bats. Edited September 17, 2010 by goldisheavy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know if it is just an honorary title (like Mack The Knife?)and not to be confused with the MAK bin Laden terrorist org from the 80's? Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, Mak is the funny man family name Tin Si would be the honorific title, if the funny man would not have given it to himself like he did YM Edited September 19, 2010 by YMWong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apech Posted September 19, 2010 Is this Mak Tin Si who used to post on here with all his Fu for this and Fu for that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taomeow Posted September 19, 2010 Well, the video doesn't discredit him in any way -- he is soft and supple, good posture, nice footwork, adequate interplay of light and heavy... notice how he flies up effortlessly like a balloon, despite his bulk? If he wants to do a baseball bat form, why not?.. I was taught to use anything handy when necessary... a real-life fight would incorporate any random objects from one's environment, absolutely, so why not practice with some of them?.. Besides, he looks like someone who would do reasonably well with any traditional form -- I'm sure baseball is not where he started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigweard Posted September 19, 2010 Is this Mak Tin Si who used to post on here with all his Fu for this and Fu for that? Yup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apech Posted September 19, 2010 Yup I think Yoda follows him (from memory). Anyway I agree with Taomeow his movement looks okish and why not use baseball bats? I thought his back looks a little stiff - but what do I know? Good luck to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My apologies. OK, so "Tin Si" is an honorific title. I'll try to remember that. For what it's worth, while I didn't agree with everything Mak Tin Si said, I didn't dislike him to the same degree as some people here.

TheWhiteRabbit Posted September 22, 2010 :lol: maybe - he's not alone of course. I would buy a book on your stuff apepch7, seriously. Mak Tin Si = Herman Mak Herman's Daoism = My way or the highway. Personally you might find more relaxing quiescence from smoking a pack of Pall Mall Menthol light 100's on a power drag than using his methods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
