    These same people tell their students they are "Traditional" though.
    this is just IMO.

    maybe cause its an old school art, not the contemporary wushu of today. they still do old school martial arts but dont do forms. aigh

    that was an opinion

    modern wushu = non traditional

    kung fu/traditional wushu = traditional.

    that make say RD? that what i have come to notice. im not saying this is the way it has to be.

    traditional training is usually in an ordered regimen as well.

    there is traditional wrestling training, boxing training, fencing training etc etc. That is to say that all the basic requirements to perform at any level of proficiency must be learned and ingrained before moving to advanced materials which are then learned and trained and so on.

    In kungfu, this usually starts with learning stances, then sitting in them, then moving in them.

    Then everything else is layered up from that, to stepping drills, simple combos, S&E, forms etc etc etc.
    Kung Fu is good for you.
