Hey everyone
I posted this in the main board but not many people knew an answer, so I was advised to post here too.
I've been practising Judo in the UK for about 8 years now and I really enjoy it. However, i wanted something that was spiritually deeper, more physically scrutinising, (is that how you spell it?), and something that I could combine with Judo if ever the need for a major ass-kicking was required. I heard that a local kung fu club was starting up (very local, like 5 minutes away), and 2 of my mates went there as well. The teachers are black belts in 3 martial arts: karate, kung fu and ju-jitsu, so they're pretty good. We practise a kung fu style called Fu Jow Pai Kung Fu, and it either means "Black tiger claw system" or "Tiger claw system", (i've read differently from different sources). What i want to know is has anyone heard of this type of kung fu, and if you have, could you post some information on the board? I've been to a few web sites on it, but if anyone has any interesting facts please let me know. Thanks
