Well, I've been pretty comfortable with all aspects of my style. I guess you could say I'm mostly just concerned with the stereotype. Would my legs, which are slightly long in proportion to my body,...
Small people may be faster in general, but larger people are by no means always slower than smaller people. For example, Roy Jones is slightly taller than average at 5 foot 11 and he is arguably the...
I'm pretty tall ( 5 feet 9 inches ) and my legs are long in proportion to my body. I've been doing southern kung fu for a long time and I've grown quite attached to my school and style. However, my...
Hmmm... do you think it would be possible to increase endurance/strength concurrently by doing endurance exercises (standard pushups) on one day and doing strength exercises (one armed...
Sorry for my ignorance, but how do I do a negative repetition? Also, how many reps/sets do you recommend? Thanks.
One more thing, scrapper seems more designed for endurance than strength. Also, spiraler, your link doesn't work.
Thanks for all the advice so far. I'm definitely going to use some of these tips. What's a good way to work up to handstand pushups? I can't even do a handstand... and when I try it against a wall I...

Anyways to the rest of you who aren't answering the question and are asking me in return where the power comes from in other martial arts, it usually...
Why is that?
Where do wing chun fighters get power for their techniques, especially chain punching? Whenever I see wing chun people punching, they are punching rapidly but this doesn't seem to allow much body...
Why would you train with vases instead of dumbells or kettlebells?
If that is true, which I doubt, it still shows nothing. If he beat the hell out of the cops and THEN took a gun from them, that shows that the cops probably were not using his gun or else he would...
no matter how much you want to believe it, there is no way an unarmed fighter can defeat five men with guns that are trying to shoot you and are not mentally impaired (james bond movies...
Ancient chinese proverb: One who believes everything he reads is better off not reading at all.
In other words, if you think you can take karate and beat five guys with guns, you are strongly...

Who is Lee Yuen Kam?
Who cares if there are people in Asia that are better than you? Are you trying to become the world's best martial artist or something? Then there is not much you can do; just enjoy martial arts as...
*sigh* Is anybody going to make a serious post?
What strategy would you use to fight a mantis practitioner? I've read some of their fighting theories and they seem pretty hard to beat, because they use quick footwork to close the range and then...
