i guess it depends on the school. My former school had about 15, (all of which were rather elementary in terms of movements and styles)

my current school you do one excessively long one (around...

i love how idiotic people are when it comes to shaolin, shaolin-wushu, and wushu in general.. get a clue.

lots of wushu people train traditional too, but lets face it - if you see someone do a...

geez- leave the monks alone..

honestly- who cares? no one will know any of the answers for real or in their entirety,since none of us was 1) alive during the Song dynasty or is 2) a recognized...

i'm looking for shao-lin style..not wushu.. i know of the place in HB, and its great for wushu, but they dont do shao-lin style (as least not to my knowledge)...

i wish there were more, or if I knew of where some were. There is a large need for them in northern orange county - ZERO good shao-lin schools, everything in my area is trash..(i've visited all of...

hey does anyone out there have a list of people they know are legit inheritors of the 5 animals 5 family's style as done by Shifu Ark Yuey Wong.. ???

Im curious as to who truly knows this system...

hanwei's are pretty descent. I am fairly sure they have a non-wushu steel version of a jian that is NOT sharp. which would be good for using in class if you don't want to cut your hand off. ...

that looked sick.....his hand is prob perm. damaged!

nice... is there any place to buy that particular video set?

I think he did a great job.. had a lot of power, speed.... good stance work..

i've heard of this too.. Eh I dont know though, sounds like a bs mill created by someone who wasn't there at the time.... I doubt that YJM and YMC would be that competitive over each other....YJM's...

9 palms/psalms whatever its called looks rather invented/contrived.. but i haven't been to a class so i'm not entirely positive what they do, but it doesnt appear to be all that "traditional" if you...

I agree... I've gone to traditional schools and have been turned off by people who claim to know "secret moves," or worse yet, teachers who manipulate students into staying for 15 years by holding...

i think stance training mainly has to do with building leg strength and endurance, as well as agility. The stronger your legs are the better/faster/stronger your kicks will be. It also is a good...

those are better...

well immediately when you are done you do a palm strike and a blocking hook hand..
i think my shifu might be preparing us for a longer spin, maybe 720? since there is no way he'd want us to use...

well he'd like to "not" to use my hands...since i just started there he's giving me some leeway and letting me use my hands for the time being... but he expects it to be handless in the future..
...

hey anyone else find 360 degree backsweeps to be rather difficult?

my new shifu started me on them last night.. (ouch). starting from a forward stance, backsweep all the way around till you are...

hmmm...well you didn't really say what size you were...but...


1) cut out all sugar from your diet (if you do this the other steps are easy)

2) cut out as much bread "white carbs" as you can
...

well a "buddha belly" is quite different from someone who is large all over and eats cheeseburgers in front of students... =p..

i think the main reason for obesity in the USA is our lifestyle and diet... people dont have time to cook food (well a lot of people who are too busy or too lazy to do so) so they get processed...

oh well I dont go there anymore. They were very hypocritical with other things as well....not to mention were unable to show proper stances to students.(such as a drop stance).. so I left.

i'll probably rent it....in my area films cost around 11.00 to go see... (too much $$). I liked Tarantino's last outing (Kill Bill-right who doesn't?")... But I'm not much of a Rodriguez fan... ...

Hey anyone going to the World Tai Chi and Qi Gong Day/Festival in Los Angeles?
I just heard about it three weeks ago, just curious if anyone from this board is going....apparently its pretty good..

Ok, I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered such things, but I used to have a sifu who was obese (at least 40+ pounds overweight). The supposed master claimed he was model of fitness, and...
