LOL GDA, funniest thing I read all day.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the "bridge" that he talks about? Is it learning to move through stances?

Link doesn't work for me.:confused:

I'm not saying that it doesn't exist... I posted this in order to find out how southen fighting works. Just seeking information.

Thanks for the info, Fox & Wall.

@ Tug: I'm 19. ;)

Ah, that's the kind of response I was hoping for. I wasn't expecting Southen boxers to fight like that guy in Fearless, sitting in horse stance for the whole fight. :rolleyes: But at the same time, I...

I have very limited exposure to southen styles (a bit of choy lay fut).

When you guys (as Southen style practitioners) spar, do you use low stances? To date I've yet to see a video of a real...

Hi everyone,

when I do various kicks (front kicks, crescent stretch kicks, side kicks, roundhouse), my hip joint occasionally "pops" or "catches". I'm not sure what it is, but it makes a small...

I've heard the exact same thing from my SiHing. I'll have to keep a critical eye...

I've thought about getting into San Shou. How does it work over there? Are there traditional schools that do...

Love it. :D

Same guys that made the "matrix ping pong" video, no?

It's a very creative way of performing.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but...

I'm also going to beijing for half a year in march! I currently train TCMA, and I'm also looking for a good school to train, something hopefully with San Shou. I...

skill aside, pride fighters seem to be MUCH flashier too. I've only seen this in the japanese fighters... is this a common thing? Both outside of the ring (ie. Genki Sudo's crazy entrances) and in...

Due to weather (up here in Canada:rolleyes: ) I practice outside in the summer & autumn, inside when it gets too cold. Inside I usually do stances and stretching while watching kung fu movies......

I've been wondering lately what exactly are the differences between UFC and PRIDE?

I've seen a fair share of videos from each, and the guys in pride generally seem to be more skilled than UFC...

Thanks.

I do stance training with bricks in my hands (just held by my fingers, not my palm) these days, so I figure that's kinda similar. But I will try out the jar thing.

Any other exercises?...

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some good exercises to do that will make my hands (fingers) strong, for eagle claw type gripping.

I was checking out a thread in the Taiji forum, where people were...

I think it's great - certainly only for a very very very select few who have the dedication. But if those people want to make the commitment, then I think it's fantastic.

Things that helped me out during painful horse stances early on was, as someone already mentioned, doing something with your hands. I'd do all sorts of palm movements, little hook grabs (when nobody...

Anybody? Don't tell me i'm the only one who does this.

In my school, after your stances are pretty solid, we incorporate something to make it even harder - holding a full size (or smaller, for smaller people) brick in each hand, arms fully extended at...

Well, I found a Kung Fu school up here by my university - but the site isn't too great. Maybe anyone's heard of the school/master? Please tell me if this school is worth checking out in person...

Trust me, I wasn't at all challenging when i asked for examples. I'm just eager for information about this. I by no means have some sort of faith in TKD. I've only been to 3 lessons, and am thus far...

Can u please give me some examples?

:eek: ****! Aren't horses like 500-1000 pound beasts covered in muscle, moving at high speeds? That's got to be a prety powerful kick. Im assuming the intent isnt to KILL the horse...

From what I understand, to get a 6-pack the #1 thing you need to do is cut way down on fat. So maybe less situps, more cardio... And a healthy diet. Looks like ur on the right track for that one so...

Hello everyone. My problem is that I live in Mississauga, ON during my 4 month summers, where my Kwoon is located. However I go to university in London, ON for the other 8 months of the year where...
