traditional kung fu in michigan lansing

[bawang]

hay guys,
i may be going to schoos in lansing michigan, and i am wondering if anyone is from michigan, and knows any good kung fu teachers in.

i been in small town for 5 years and havent found any srs martial artists to train wit, other than tkd guys pretending to do muay thai. since lansing is a big city, i thought maybe there would be badass manly men of ultimate badasses, who train kung fu and not scare of death.

Unfortunately I never found any traditional kung fu in Lansing. You can find good kung fu in Grand Rapids, Midland, and Ann Arbor (I never looked in Detroit, but there's probably some there)... all would require a bit of a commute. There's a few decent MMA clubs around you that regularly put people in fights if that's your thang.

I'm in Mt. Pleasant / Midland area now and that's about an hour from you.

[David Jamieson]

Yeah, if you don't get out of your house and go meet people and train with them, it's not going to happen for you again there. lol :p

[Brule]

You need to try this place. http://www.yelp.ca/biz/the-kung-fu-lansing you need to be diligent though as they don't look like a place to train kung fu and they may even tell you that but don't let that discourage you. Most likely you'll have to kneel at the front steps for several days to show your sincerity and then they may take you in.

Good luck in your search.

no traditional kung fu in lansing? ill prolly find a mma club then.
do u think i can teach traditional kung fu on the side?

[Orion Paximus]

There is only one true traditional Kung Fu school in Michigan. The great-grandmaster is descended from the only true Showlyn (they spell it that way because that is the true way it was spelled in ancient China 3,000 years ago) lineage that exists. Everything else is girly wushu made for dancing with women and fighting midgets.

Of course you could always move to a real state like utah where you can learn Kung Fu from your 8 wives, all of whom are would be your deadly assassin body guards.

[bawang]

how can lansing not have kung fu people? doesnt it have over 500 thousand people?

[David Jamieson]

i have met plenty, but they are insane.

I believe you.

[mawali]

I do not know if there are still traditional teachers but I met a few in the Ann Arbor area when I was doing post graduate work at Eastern Michigan in 1985. Most of my colleagues moved away from the area around 1990 ???

No doubt yes - find the University Asian Club and see about starting a subgroup and have them sponsor you. There may very well be a club in the university already.

If you're looking a MMA, Tyrone Gooden (http://magicbjj.com/page4/page5/page5.html) comes highly regarded in the local BJJ/MMA community there.

I'm at Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant (there's no mountain).

I think you should definitely train at a MMA club and seriously consider teaching traditional Kung Fu especially since there doesn't seem to be any in the area. I'm mostly a traditionalist but I used to roll and spar all the time at a local MMA club in the town I trained in Sil Lum. I found it extremely helpful since I like to spar hard. It's not that we didn't spar hard in our school, it's just that sparring amature to pro fighters adds a whole different dimension to the match. Trust me, you'll learn a lot by doing this and it may also help to validate your Kung Fu with the MMA crowd. The guys at the MMA school respect our Kung Fu school just as much as we respect them. It also brought a bunch of them into our seminars so if dollars are also a motivation then it couldn't hurt.

Dude, just because bawang's Chinese heritage doesn't mean you need to send him strictly to an Asian Club. That's effed up!! :D

They would know if someone's teaching traditional kung fu - also, it's tough to start a club without sponsorship. Official clubs get access and time in the fitness facility which is sweet.

On a side note, MSU's Judo Club is top knotch - and they used to have a couple of Sambo players that rolled with them.

Hahaha! I think MightB was just being kind to the white guys. One of bawangs interests is to make us whities cry so it's more of a humanitarian gesture. Of course I'm also native american indian so I get a pass. (wipes sweat off forehead with great relief!) :D

[Scott R. Brown]

1) There is no such thing as TRADITIONAL Kung Fu!! :( It is a myth!! Sorry to break your heart!

2) If bawang thinks someone is insane, THEY ARE!!!!:eek:

[pazman]

Dude, just because bawang's Chinese heritage doesn't mean you need to send him strictly to an Asian Club. That's effed up!! :D

No, that's not. You need sponsorship if you want to have space to train. I was approached by member of the Chinese student's association here to teach. It's not unreasonable.

And to be fair, in China foreign students would certainly not be allowed to start a club much less teach martial arts at a university.

[pazman]

Bawang, join the Judo club. Kungfu people are strange.

What will you be studying?

[Lucas]

I think bawang should join a good judo club too. i bet if you try out judo you would really like it bawang.

If Bwang wants to prostate before David Ross, I'll skip the video.

Michigan is the land of hunting. Bow and arrow and firearms training would be everywhere. I think the Bear Museum is around there somewhere?? All the trophies he killed with bow and arrow. Like going to the zoo, without the walk.

"looks like"?

Who gives a flying F%$k what someone "looks like".
Shame on you. Look at your self. What do you see?

It's what someone brings to the table, what they offer. Not what they look like.
Jebas Bawang, you have more sense than that.

No bus, but I'll see if any Saturday students make the commute from Lansing. Some do from time to time. It's about an hour away.

and Jamieson I agree with Bawang... if it looks and quacks like a duck, then it's probably a... Not that there's anything wrong with that. But when a person presents himself as a chi hippy, it's probably because he's a chi hippy. Bawang seems to be more of a physical, put in the real work and get some bruises type of kung fu person.

There is absolutely nothing on that page or on the site it links to that says anything of the sort about alternate uses etc.

Face it, Bawang is just being a bitter racist again. :p

[Lucas]

well it does say:

"Tai Chi is a sub-class of Nei Jia (Neijar), collectively known as the Internal Family of Chinese Kung Fu. It is offered to those more interested in form, low impact exercise and health maintenance rather than the actual application or the martial components of the art."

just in case you missed it :p

edit: i had the underlined and boldened all big and stuff too cuz i thought it was funny, but it just looked annoying.
