yes, you foolish mortal... had you known the ATTACKPROOF methods of combat, you could have used the kick of Master Ik Jo Kang.

Notice an Everlast bag. Doesn't "everlast" when Master Kang takes a shot!  |

'ki chaun do'

'forfeit/give up/i don't know/pass'

nah, just a guy who put two chinese words together thinking that the chinese language is anything like english...
chi=breath
chaun=fist
therefore chi chuan SHOULD=fist of breath/chi or chi fist.
unfortunately it doesn't quite work like that.
ask a hong kong guy what 'fishing for crabs' is...

i'm always a bit warey of things in books (can't stop buying them though)
after all, in words and on paper, all styles are invincible.
but then what the hell, i'm sure it'll be a good read and sometimes, that's all that matters.
and as i've said before,
even a 'bad' style has something to offer.
in any case, if you do get it, let us know what you think.
