Which Southern style do you know have ever beaten Northern style?

There's not one that I have ever come across that can achieve that. All you southern fighters are just all talk and no action.

If you have anything to talk about you better be able to prove it or remain quiet.

Historically, the manchurian royal family have used northern style praying mantis and in history have kicked the @#$* out of southern kung fu. If you have any other stories to show, give me evidence.

You are so right. As soon as I give up my Southern Kung Fu, can I come study under you?

It's not bad enough that the main forum has become a complete embarrassment. It's not bad enough that it is 6th grade study hall populated by people whose knowledge of traditional Kung Fu extends no further than a couple of shaw bros. movies. Oh no. What we need right now is divisiveness amongst Kung Fu (supposedly) practicioners.
I doubt very seriously that you can even name more than 3 "southern styles" off the top of your head. If you had done any research at all before posting, you would find famous fighters in almost every style, not just your own. FT's point is well made, forget about what someone who trained in your style did 200 years ago...what can you do?

hmm...how old are you kid? sounds like your 14 or something that just started taking classes with your sifu. You shouldnt be so arrogant when learning any MA...be humble. its common to say one's style maybe better than others but like billy said...what is your level of skill? I take southern styles of kung fu and i take offense to your question...try to research more about all Chinese martial arts before you make these statements and get your self hurt...

*Deep sigh*

Another one. Well, I suggest we not dignify it with proper responses. I personally like to poke fun at them and watch their response get more an more incoherent as they sit at their keyboards and froth at the mouth.

And before you ask, yes I was a cruel child :).

Here's what he is gonna do. He will make all sorts of wild statements about how much better Northern is, then when someone actually challenges him he will then introduce his sifu as the one who will be fighting and make all sorts of claims about how southern practitioners cheat.

Then someone else will miraculously appear and support what he is saying, saying that everyone else are bullies and that northern practitioners are the only ones with honour.

I personally feel that both of the styles are just the same. There is no "best" style. Each style has it's own good things and it's bad. I'm currently doing a northern style, yet I still admire the southern styles at the same time, such as choy li fut and wing chun. These are just my opinions. Feel free to reply.

Your post came from america so I was really hoping to meet you face to face,after seeing your web site I take it you live in the land down under.When I saw your pics I almost shiet me pants laughing so hard,man you need to buy a gun before you go out and pick fights with the Southern guys,I've met Adam Hsu,he's a nice guy,he's your sifu????,I think he'd drop you like the smoking turd you seem to be if he knew you were making such statments,Oh one more thing, to my understanding the manchus learned Southern arts and some Hakka systems,hence the red boat people put their skills together to combat the manchus with Southern skills not the Southern Monks and developed WT/WC/VC,its hard for me to buy the story that the Nun Ng Mui was responsible by her self to invent such a strong style,commits by other members are welcome,don't bother fruit bat/ mercy fighter,your ideas are worthless

Depends on how you train you achieve different things.

If you train in relaxation and meditation, you'll have little stress and probably live a long life in today's society which is very safe from physical violence in comparison with the old days.

Training in the Northern theories will probably make you a good fighter all else being equal. You can say that's the advantage of Northern KF. Disadvantage is, you don't get to harden your hands to break stones, wood and other animate or inanimate objects (if that's what you go for). You'll probably get to experience less of a "clans-men-ship" due to the nature of how the styles evolved over time.

Training in the Southern way, you'll pick up cool stuff like lion dancing. Which is rather entertaining for both performer and audience alike. Disadvantage is, you'll die against a practitioner of the northern stylist. But that rarely happens today!

But put it this way, statistically, check with the FBI files if you want to, how many ppl are killed by psychos weilding KF. Not many.

What I'm getting at is that, this post is quite irrelevant. You train in what ever style to achieve what ever objective that is purely your choice. But don't confuse style with the way you train. That's another angle that ppl don't talk much about on this forum. It's always style style style. My style against your style to the point where ppl almost resurrect the masters from the dead just to prove a point. How ridiculous.

But if you want to be a key board warrior then learning how to type would be a good start. Be interesting, witty and clever. Being smutty is just too easy, unless of course you're an undersexed teenager in junior high school.

Well I must say it makes a change from the SPM guys spouting off about how much more practical shorthand is and how they could defeat any northern stylist. I have the advantage of training in northern, southern, long and short, so I can sit totally on the fence.
I don't know lion dance, yet I know many northern schools that teach it. The extras that go with kung fu (Lion dance, dragon dance, unicorn dance, flag dancing) are irrespective of whether the style is northern or southern. Indeed, there are even specific northern lions (they have long golden hair).
Northern and southern are both effective if you are trained in them properly.
Anyway, as a point of information, the Manchus tended to study Hop Gar, not mantis.
5star mantis, you need to get out more. Or are you afraid that the bigger kids will beat you up?

His mantis isn't bad, but his Tan Tui is terrible! O.K., as a Zhaquan practitioner I'm likely to be harsher than most, but the stances are just awful!
Still, he likes war craft, so he can't be that bad (warcraft 2 is one of my favourite games).
5star mantis! How dare you make such reference to my Wan King Fist? There is now blood feud between us! If we are ever to meet there will be Tek Kwoon! :mad: :rolleyes:

Okay Merciless you want proof then here goes:What style defeated northern kung fu? Well the truth is a Lama Kung Fu stylist did at one point and his name was:Wong Yan Lam.Maybe you heard of him? Anyhow legend has it that he erected a platform in canton to show the effectiveness of the style and in a two week period he defeated some of the best fighters,and became feared throughout all of china.Not only that but members of the ching dynasty also learned the style and defeated the monks of the shaolin temple in the sixteenth century.I am not saying that northern styles are'nt effective they are but you wanted proof so there you have it.

i dont know how this lame thought got into youre

and the other way around it all comes down to the
individual someone said Sothern styles lack speed
do you think Wing chun lack speed?

i myself Train Hung Gar and i like the Style very much it has every thing i need for the moment
i am to fight different People in the Near future
i have Fought many people some have beaten me
some have not usually it comes down to have Trained hardest and have more innate Abillities in
Fighting also sometimes people have a good day

this is just how things Works it has nothing to do about what style is best that is just Nonsense
i have yet to see a style that is invincible
i have seen Fighters that would shatter youre
poor illusion of reality . it seems you have trained and seen far to little

TO: mercilessfighter, bestallstyle, 5star praying mantis

Haven't you learnt anything from your 'pro' kung fu training? Have you no respect?

You say that Southern Kung Fu practisioners are all words and no action. It is you who are all words and no action. You brag about how superior Northern KF is, and have no mettle to show it.

Hypocrites!

How many Southern KF stylists have you defeated? That is, southern stylists of equal expertise? Not rookies!

And don't give me crap about how we haven't come up with any names yet! It is you who continually harass Southern KF styles, not us. Turn your challenge around and solve it yourself!

It is the individual practisioner who possesses and uses his/her art. Kung Fu by itself is as useless as a car sitting in a dump. Comparing two styles by themselves is simply non-sensical.
As self-proclaimed 'pro' KF experts, you should already know that!

You three troublemakers cause only havoc and division amongst members of this board, and wreck what might otherwise be good and intelligent discussions. So switch off your computer and do some real Kung Fu study... it might help you before your frail psychological conditions deteriorate even further.

Pro? Pro? They make their living by engaging in life and death combat against skilled martial artists? I really don't think so! You Live in Australia, not 1870s Canton!
The reason we aren't coming up with any names is because fighters such as Wong Fei Hung, Chan Heung, Lam Sai Wing and Tam Sam beat so many people they didn't bother keeping a record of names and styles.
The fact that Keo Yu Cheong respected Tam Sam enough to allow his students to train with him, and vice versa, suggests that he must have thought that his kung fu was worth something!
Really, this is getting old.

who cares? i mean really? good kung fu is good kung fu. northern strikes will smash through just about any defense. south hand work will tangle just about anyone up for a throw.
General Ch'ang Tung-Sheng won the Chinese National Koushu two times in his life - 19 yrs old and at 45 (i think). he trained in many styles of kung fu. when it comes to MA...it's the fight in the fighter....not always the way he fights.
you could have the most precise techniques in the world, but if i don't give up and keep coming at you no matter what, who will win? the man who is tougher or the man who has prettier techniques?
stop trying to see who can **** the furthest and go train.

Hello,
I study Tai Tzu Quan. The system is one of the original Northern Long Fist styles. But, guess what? The family that developed it also developed a SOUTHERn division!!! Why, because the Northern system had some holes to fill. Now, if you put the two together, add some Shui Chaio and Taji Quan, your going to be hard pressed to find a tougher fighter. Why you ask? because now you have some one who is skilled in ALL ranges. If the fight starts long range, our guy knows what to do, when it gets close up, he's covered there as well, the attacker wants to grappel? NO PROBLEM!!

My point here is this, stop arguing which is best, just cross train in both Northern AND Southern and be fully prepared, 'cause that's the guy thats going to be the hardest to beat.


If you study North Mantis, cross train in Southern Mantis If you do Wing Chun, cross train in one of the many Northern Long Fist styles.

Simple

I totally agree with someone who previously posted that it is the fighter .. not the art .. that determine's who's standing at the end of the match :)

Oh....my....god

How can such a great forum be spoiled by such sad losers. Anyone can type a great fight from behind their little tv screen.

Its actually real funny to read though....

I thought martial arts training instilled humility in students. Obviously i was wrong - maybe some of those posting replies are only learning from books and magazines. I suggest finding a good and honest Sifu.

A quick question though - if the northern style guy moved to the south of the country, who would win then? What if they were fighting on the equator? What if anyone really cared?
