    I've seen this clip a long time ago. Karate works just like any other trainable martial art.

    The roots of Karate (okinawan) are so very clear...

    There's a big difference between seeing the Kung Fu that gave birth to Karate, than seeing Karate trying to superficially appear like Kung Fu.
    You lose something from both that way.

    You can have Kung Fu in cooking, it really has nothing to do with fighting!

    Brendan Lai had commented to us about Goju Ryu having roots in 5 Ancestors kung fu.

    I'm not sure about the mantis but definitely crane, cat and dragon. I could be wrong but I think cat is either the same as tiger or an older style that evolved into tiger.

    Here is a good example of the link to China and the Shaolin temple. The word Shorin from Shorin Ryu Karate is a phonetic representation of the same character as Shaolin or Sil-Lum which means small forest. So, Shorin temple boxing = Shaolin temple boxing. If I'm wrong on this then I apologize since I'm not a linguist but that's the way it was taught to me at a much younger age when I studied Goju Ryu Shorei-Kan Karate which is very similar to Shorin Ryu.

    Kururunfa is based on principles from southern Mantis, with animal techniques stripped out. (Which style, I have no idea.)
    I also feel like Tensho has a strong SPM feel, although most people link it with Crane and I even heard Bagua...

    (Miyagi Sensai developed Tensho, after training in China, but it is so clearly lifted from southern Chinese traditions....)

    Been on a Karate Kick lately

    Been really finding the Okinawan / White Crane linkage stuff interesting and have been watching all kinds of cool documentaries. Just found this one that looks promising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly-UbDxBBgQ

    San Chin looks like it would be worthwhile to learn BTW.

    I did a few seminars with Higaonna, good stuff, very good.
    Taira sensei is another I recommend.
    Check out his stuff.
    And of course the Uechi-ryu videos are awesome.
