Thank you for pointing that out to me. However, read a little further down:
"Kun Tao / Silat de Thouars is the martial art system created by Willem de Thouars, after a lifetime of study of Chinese...

Point taken. I agree that learning too much material is counterproductive.



I was reffering to the DeThouars family. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for other schools.

Oh boy! :rolleyes:

So to your son a triangle isn't the same as a triangle to you?

p.s. I understand that you just don't want to understand

I don't believe so. He was talking about the way Pa kua was taught in SD in comparison to CMA people. When you make a comparison between two things, isn't is implying they're different from each...

Ok, so you agree that the Sd forms aren't Shaolin Kung fu in it's original form. In other words it's modified, like Kuntao (as someone mentioned).

The thing is, Kuntao people don't deny that...

That's because you pasted the wrong statement to which I was responding (come on guys!!!)

Judge Pen said : "The Pa Kua form is as real as it gets. It is taught more rigid then CMA people perform...

Power oriented?
What makes you think power has to be stiff? What makes you think soft and fluid means powerless? Those are concepts that are hard to grasp unless you've taught by a traditional...

Oh, I've seen the video. A video of Sin The doing what is supposed to be a Praying Mantis form (looked nothing like Mantis to me, and he was so stiff he looked nothing like a grandmaster, but hey, if...

Every traditional chinese martial artist I know or even only heard of accepts and recognize real kung fu, whatever the style is. They accept Hung gar, Choy Lay Fut, Wing Chun, Fujian White Crane,...

What's the ratio of training between Core Shaolin-do and the additional stuff? It seems a bit strange that you guys have hundreds of forms from about 50 styles and what represent the core system is...

Do you also practice Hsing I chi gong as well as Bagua chi gong and Taiji chi gong?

That is exactly the point I was trying to make. Example, how many Hung gar forms do you have in your system? One?, two? Do you think you can grasp what Hung gar is about by learning one or two forms?...

I don't think you understood what I meant in my post....but it's ok. I just don't feel like arguing on this.

A Kung fu system is not just a collection of different forms. While it's common, especially in northern styles, to include forms from other systems as complementary material, they still have a CORE...
