Thanks for the suggestions. For now I'll have to hold off on the podiatrist. No insurance and only working part-time.

I'll get some Superfeet inserts and try different types of wrestling shoes I...

Cool, thanks. Can you find these in stores where you can try them on or do you generally have to order them online?

I have no arches and fairly wide feet. What is a good training shoe for kung fu?

I am looking for a video to improve flexibility for kung fu. The video itself could be yoga, something else or just plain stretching. Doesn't matter as long as it works.

I am a beginner and have been looking in vain for a poster with simple diagrams of the basic stances (I study a Southern style TCMA). Anyone know where I can find a poster with pics of the horse,...

PT is awesome, but is it something you can practice on your own between classes since a lot of it relies on partner drills?

Is World Oyama karate an off-shoot of Kyokushin? Is it Kyokushin?

And anyone know this school? http://www.iwatadojo.com

Are there any CLF teachers in Manhattan, 2nd choice Queens?

Looking forward to it then.

Has anyone studied with Henry Gong in NYC? What is his school/training like?

I am interested in studying chen taiji in NYC, but I don't have the $ to study with Ren Guangyi.

There is one other place that teaches it called "Six Harmony Martial Arts" that might be less...

I am a newspaper reporter and am researching an article about gyms.



(I do realize this is not really a kung fu thing, but I'm sure a lot of you go to traditional fitness centers.)



If...

I wasn't saynig I want to spar "all the time" or before I know the basics. I just meant that I want to go to a school that incorporates applications and sparring.

but you love it, right?? (dumb question)

Okay, well this is slightly off topic, but then what (aside from the fact that you love it) motivates you to study kung fu? (If not learning it for octagon-street fighting, etc.) What is your core...

Well I mean, even if he's got high ranking students doing a lot of the teaching (no idea), wouldn't it still be good since he's directing the program?

Well I'm open to that, but when you said 'this guy is one of the best teachers in the world' -- were you referring to the Pachi Tanglang guy or Yang Fukui? (I'm not looking to prepare for an octagon...

huh, wait-- which guy? I'm not trying to insult anyone. I don't know anything about kung fu. I told you I'm new to this. Which guy?

Again,

-- good schools like this in NY??

--collecting forms without knowing their application

--very little to no sparring

--> how bout some schools in NYC that, don't, do this -- recommendations??

So, again,

What are some legit places to get the full kung-fu treatment?

I know there's yee's but I'd like something other than hung ga I think.

All good info. Thanks.

Well if I'm in NYC, then what are some schools I might check out that have kind of the best worlds -- plenty of sparring, but not artless kickboxing either? Where there's...
