    Question Your style.

    How efficient do you feel your style(s) is? how efficient do you feel your style(s) is for you? How much of your style(s) are you able to apply?

    Ill share after this thread gets going a bit.

    In cultivating your mind, know how to dive in the hidden depths.
    In dealing with others, know how to be gentle and kind.
    In speaking, know how to keep your words.
    In governing, know how to maintain order.
    In transacting business, know how to be efficient.
    In making a move, know how to choose the right moment.
    If you do not strive with others, you will be free from blame."

    Efficiency in style.. fighting, training, what?
    Long fist is known to many as inefficient, however the basics (1) build proper strength, teach you how to punch (amazing how a front punch and a jab are so similar), kick, footwork (wich is sorely missed by many).... etc.

    What can I use, well I use a good deal of what I know, which isn't a lot....
    practice wu de


    Actually I bored everyone to death. Even Buddhist and Taoist monks fell asleep.....SPJ

    Forums are no fun if I can't mess with your head. Or your colon...

    Ability to apply in sparring, ability to teach, ability to apply in real world fighting situations... its not too specific. just run with it.

    Well, I spend about 1/2 my time with weapons, which isn't really practical or efficient.

    I train some stuff sparring/fighting specific, I do others to just have fun.... so it depends... be more specific or each reply will need to be a synopsis on everyones intimate relationship with there style and a detailed analysis of the style.

    Alrighty... well lets narrow it to how well do you feel you can apply your style for fighting, and how efficient do you feel your style is for fighting?

    Every style is efficient for fighting, but sadly most are populated by ****s with no clue.

    I disagree. I just feel that martail political correctness prevents us from admitting it. Kinda like how you're not supposed to say retard in public.
