I used to learn a bit when I was young.. and Chinese martial arts is much more graceful than many others.. but well.. I gave up.. haha
... id rather learn muy thai... more aggressive..... n when u train they dont make u do steps.....i member when i took kung fu i hella couldnt remember the moves hahaha
the steps* are there for a reason.. it kinda trains your body so it reacts in a certain way.. so then, when and if your ever up for a real fight, not a sparring match then u wud automatically **hopefully** remember the steps and kick some asssss muay thai ppl are crazie they condition and everything with taekwondo, the steps are called poomsae but if u dont know it, u can't grade up a belt.. **btw i dun think belt colour does not determine how good you are at something** and im a gurl, so i guess i wud rather kung fu anyways -^_^
martial arts is cool....especially when u get to spar n train with others..hoping to get my brown/black belt in 2-3years time for karate..=p kung fu is good, so is tai chi..very relaxing but more fun if u practice with the sword or fan..=)
Kung fu is awesome! I've been practicing only for 2 years, but my flexibility and reflexes have improved a lot! Like for example when I drop something or see something drop.. my body moves by itself to catch it.. and 99% of the times I catch it lol! ahh my spider sense is tingling!!!
Some of you may know my youtube vid of my son. . . [youtube]6bUFLoFdp6w[/youtube] This is a youtube vid of my son's friend - my son is aiming to be at his level when he is 14!!! We was at the Birmingham Lions Club celebration of the British hand over of Hong Kong (05/06/07) We kicked its as normal with our Lion Dance, But Sam did a little extra show!! [youtube]NqlajZwmWhM[/youtube] He will be aiming for Olympic Gold - may not be in 2008 but will be in 2012
lols breakersrevenge, i thought you were tryin 2 fool us to say that kid "is" ur son lols... the kid's good, can kick ass and prolly become a descendant to the descendant of jet li or jackie chan lmaoz...
lol all chinese knows kung fu, thats so jokes...but yea ppl assume it....the thing is, when you watch westerners learn martial arts, like wing chung, karate, etc....and they fight...they fight the same like any normal westerner.....its dumb
I was bron in Hong Kong and I am living in Gemany since I've been 5/6 years old. Every German who sees me asks if I am a Kung Fu fighter. They say everyone from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan knows Kung Fu and avoid any fights with us. They associate us with Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan or Jet Li. That's the reason why they won't start a fight with us. When I was young I was always fascinated by all martial arts movies. Unfortunately good martial arts in Germany are rare. Now I am a student of Wing Chun, Tai Chi and a mix of Eskrima, Kali, Arnis and Wing Chun weapon martial art.
yeah lol, everyone thinks ur kung fu expert, its only annoying when you meet a roaming warrior wanabe who want to figh just to test out your presumed kungfu skill well i learned chin na (joint locks) but i aint practised for AGES now, but if i was in a nasty situation im sure it would all come flooding back i also gave dim mak a go but i stoped cus its way to dangerous, yooull kill someone accidentally with that :(
Yeah, Chin Na is a nice martial art and Dim Mak too. However you are right. Dim Mak is to dangerous to use it in a fight. I agree with yenthi, Kung Fu is in our blood. All the masters I met says, that I have it in the veins.
kung fu is soft...its all about the MMA........Bruce Lee got the basic idea but didnt quite finish it....look at Donnie Yen.. The moves in his recent movies compared to his older 1's........now he does ground work...submissions..etc....don't even start with kung fu....it has very actual value in real combat..
