I don't believe your story :mad: EVERY American knows that what makes their legal system the BEST is that they're not responsible for their own actions.:D

I should have been more specific: Sport San Shou

Thanks, I appreciate your replies. I'll be looking at those links in the next few days.

Probably goes without saying, but books you've purchased or read, not just heard about.

Does anyone know of any good books on san shou? Not the "san shou explained in 10 easy pictures" type. I'm looking for one as a sort of reference of techniques, not to learn from, just to expose...

Feeling has been mentioned earlier in this thread. How you feel during a confrontation may not be as bad as how you feel after one. Oddly enough I'm not talking about losing the fight, but rather...

oh, Vibrating Palm, not Vibrating Palm :D

WinterPalm:
Vibrating Palm is like point sparring, all it develops is speed and once you meet those who don't, it's embarrassing to admit you do it and need to spend a lot of time reversing old...

I'm hoping it's hard to argue against religion and everything else.

I've done that, but I just wanted to find out how instructors felt about them in general. They're not the hottest topic, so generally the only readily available views on them are from the...

Hi

This query is directed at those who currently or have in the past, run a martial arts school, of any size.

Makes sense. Maybe there should be two polls, the second being "Why do you continue to train in a martial art?". The difference in the two may be interesting.

Why is it that the vast majority of posts, in the southern styles section of kungfuonline, do not deal with self defense?

Due to the nature of the classes given where I train there is very little sparring other than a bit of San Shou. I have a growing interest in self-defense and making sure I can fight (outside the...
