I know it's about training your spirit, but you can't decline that you will learn technically fast sword sets in it too.

If I wan't to train my spirit, I sit zazen.

Has anyone ever practiced iaido? What do you think of it?

I'm asking because I think it would be nice to train iaido along the kung fu. With kung fu I train my body and with iaido, mastery of the...

Dam* Im stupid... never should say anything unless I REALLY know about it.. :D

Anyway, it was some static in some kungfu site, not very reliable source :rolleyes:

Excuse me? Those styles are among the most KNOWN styles in Southern-China and are widely respected throughout China. According to statics, 1/3 who practise CMA in Asia practise CLF/Hung ga (statics...

Well, wing chun is speacialized in close range power with its one inch punch and chainpunches.

In CLF (and in some other KF styles), the power is generated with the whole body. We use waist,...

Hehe, you might be right :)

My sifus call my sigungs sifus, so I got confused which term to use... (was that a correct line? :D )

Im just a noob, just learning new stuff everyday :cool:

Yes, I like eating burritos too.

Hmm, that's odd, I recall that I didn't have to be a member when I watched them the first time. Anyway, it's not as good as the first link so you didn't miss much :)

CLF has a lot of kicks, but some of the kicks come from northern styles, since it is a combination of northern and southern shaolin.

Is this discussion about how many different kind of kicks there...

They are Sifus in general, I just call them my sifus because we are a part of the same organization, The Choy Lee Fut federation of Finland and the sifus bring the art to my city. They also teach us...

I can't disagree, when I started practising CLF I hope that the forms would be a part of the curriculum, but when I heard that you have to go to a seminar in order to learn them, I accepted it.

I...

Yes, well, we learn the techniques used in forms in the gwoon but we have to go to seminars if we want to learn the forms. It's ok tho, our gwoon training is usually about perfecting our techniques...

Yeah, and Boddhidarma was veeery stupid when he came to China and tought some yoga for the monks and the monks were very stupid when they formed martial art techniques.




:D

There was kung fu in China before shaolin, but nowadays almost every kung fu system has got some influence from shaolin.

But if we look MA for example in Korea, some of the korean arts have been...

Zazen meditation is good awareness practise, it really keeps your focus up. It also developes your brains, attitude and personality.

I want to learn long-staff form in CLF...

I also dislike my mother...

...and my father...

...and the little brother I never had...

...did I mention life?

Legwork in karate and kung fu CAN be quite different, you use the same stances etc. in weapon forms as in hand forms. I would suggest that you ask your sifu to teach you the staff form.

I've...

True. It would be better if people wouldn't always argue about the lineages, just stick on the 'hard training'. It doesn't matter who created the system and which lineage is better (and I think there...

Ok, well, atleast some of the basic stances seem to be quite the same (horse, bow, cat etc.) but I can see some differences.

Buddhist (monk) diet: eat one meal before noon, nothing more, and then if you have to, drink some tea or take a snack in the evening.

Keep in mind that the monks didn't have almost anything else...
