Which plyometric exercizes would be most useful to a martial artist?
Clapping pushups for punching power etc.
I think I get enough leg exercize from my forms though, it's a lot of low stances...

Sounds good to me. :)
What do you mean by this?
It looks like he's going to get his side sliced or kidney stabbed here.
Excellent! :D
Thank you Chris B and MonkeyFoot, those both look like good places to start.
I can hook you up! Check your PMs.:D
Thanks, I'll look into it.
Thanks for the advice. I have read a book by Mantak Chia, it was called "the multi-orgasmic man", a very good book! It was about moving your chi during sex, which has worked wonders for me. I think I...
And then in a street fight there is still some restraint depending on the situation. In many fights you don't need to use your arm breaks and eye gouges, and if you do your likely to get yourself...
I sense sarcasm...
Well I'm glad to know that this style is alive and well in other parts of the world, perhaps it's just here in Korea where it's not around much anymore.
Since I'm in Korea, I'm looking into possible Korean arts that may be similar to qigong for increasing and channeling my ki. In my other thread I was recommended to check out sun-do, which I assume...
Onyomi, thank you so much once again! It is confirmed, Tai ji mei hua tang lang quan is my style!
Thank you both very much! That may just be it. I had a feeling before that it was Tai Ji Praying Mantis because I saw a book on my Sifu's shelf that had that title in English on it's spine. He also...
I have the chinese characters for my style, I just need to look them up to know their exact translation to roman characters. (I don't have a scanner.) But here is how they are pronounced:

Thanks for the tips guys. Sun-Do looks very interesting, but I couldn't seem to find where an instructor might be in Seoul.
That PM Qigong thread is good too. But wouldn't it be best to learn qi...
Yes the link works for me now, I enjoyed the video.
Yeah me either, and it only makes me want to see it more! :eek:
This link is broken for me. Is there anyone who know's where I can find this mantis documentary?
I'm interested in learning some qigong to add to my Praying Mantis training. I've been a meditator of a few years now, and have noticed a great change in the energy I can feel ever since beginning my...
Yeah I agree, I don't think you can have excessive strength, unless it's "excessive" because you don't know how to use it. (IE throwing yourself off balance.)
If you are strong, you use LESS...
I got the oportunity to talk to my Sifu's teacher, Grand Master Hong. He is 61 I believe, and started training in Praying Mantis when he was 16 back in 1960. His teacher was Chinese and fled to South...
I think that some schools do both the Wushu and the traditional martial art form they teach. I was thinking, wouldn't they need to be a "wushu" school to have a teaching licience? And then teach...
I've only been in Korea for about 3 months, I'm studying korean to make my life here a little easier. Also, my sifu doesn't speak much english so I want to bridge the gap. I study Praying Mantis.

I have some questions...
1) What are the differences between modern wushu and traditional kung fu? How would one know which they are learning?
2) If someone is learning modern wushu, they don't...
I've been training just over 2 months now at a kung fu gym in South Korea. My sifu is part of the "Korea Wushu Association". He has told me he teaches Praying Mantis style, how do I know if I am...
