SoCo Kungfu,
I understand what you are saying, but at the same time I find myself a bit torn over your argument. I completely understand that there are many examples of techniques in forms...
I haven't trained in Wah Lum since 2005, but I've studied various CMA styles since then.
I was recently going over many forms and styles that I have learned over the years, and I come to the...
I hope they have an amazing stunt team and cinematographer because I'm pretty certain none of those rumored actors have any martial arts experience.
To be honest, I never quite understood that concept. The most "dangerous" or "deadliest" style? How is that even measured? Any martial arts style can cause death under the right circumstances. It...
As much as I want to agree with that statement, it seems that are a few examples where that does not appear to be the case.
You can find drunken boxers still utilizing their techniques and character...
Please don't take this as a challenge or doubt towards your claim. Would you mind sharing any sources that helped you come to that conclusion? Thanks.
The interesting thing was that I got more of that type of experience at my old U.S. Kung fu school than I did in China. At my old kung fu school in the US my sifu taught proper traditional kung fu...
I watched 8 YouTube videos.
Why is lineage so important to some people when justifying or validating a CMA school?
I never understood why some people are so caught up on lineage. It seems that Wing Chun students are the...
Has anyone studied CMA in both China and the home country?
What were some noticeable differences in your training?
Was there much of an improvement to justify traveling all the way to China to...
Congratulations on your achievements. The filmmaking and writing lifestyle isn't easy.
I, myself, am a freelance filmmaker. If you're willing, I would love to see your work.
I respectfully disagree.
I do not see a contradiction. For example, in a total population of 100, if group A is 51% of that 100 and group B is 49% of that same 100. Then it is safe to say that while...
I have very low hope for this film. The fact that it's the same producers from the Taken trilogy doesn't help either. The first "Taken" film wasn't a "good" movie by any means but it worked simply...
I studied at Wah Lum for 4 years.
To answer your question...
- Do they teach practical self-defense? Yes. Absolutely.
- Will you be able to fight at the level of an MMA fighter or a...
Not surprised. Unfortunately, film production work is not all that glamorous here in the US either. People who think film crews and actors just spend a few hours on the weekend with a camera making...
Wiz Cool C, were you the talent or a crew member?
An updated version of a Bruce Lee bio pic is interesting, but not necessary. "Dragon" worked as a proper well-rounded biopic for the general audience.
Movies are roughly 90 minutes to 2 hours. 3...
Seems someone on youtube decided to respond to the video. lol

I imagine that kung didn't look a whole lot different back then. Forms were most likely a bit more rigid than today's and sparring back then was probably just as sloppy and chaotic as today's. Most...
It depends on what you mean by "easiest".
Any and every style can be easy if you put no effort into it.
If by "easiest" you mean a style or school that gives you constant instant gratification then...
Xiao Yao,
I am right there with you. I have seen plenty of that and to me it raises a red flag that the instructor is likely a bit delusional as he romanticizes the style. Every style has its pros...
One thing that I have gotten tired of when walking into a kung fu school and speaking to the Sifu for the first time is getting the overly used paraphrased quote/philosophy from Bruce Lee about...
Was there any specific weapon or weapons you would look for? Or were you simply looking for the quantity?
What is the #1 thing you look for when visiting a kung fu school for the first time?
This question is asked under the assumption that the school offers a style you want to study.
I understand that,...
