MightyB,
What belt level do you compete at?
The beauty of judo is it retains the crazy explosiveness of wrestling plus the more static ground work.

Well- I'd say at the level of master- styles are nothing more than a collection of forms.
Style ceases to exist- external becomes internal- everything becomes relative. Fighting is reduced to Shuai, Na, Ti, Da - nothing more. There is no separation. All arts become one- therefore- if you claim to do a "style". What is it that you claim?
Kung Fu legs and balance help tremendously. I've competed and took silver at yellow belt fighting at -81 KG.

I think nandu is an interesting concept. I don't like watching most wushu (besides some of the compulsories, which unfortunately are not featured in competitions, and the Chaquan forms) Most of it is too jumpy jumpy runny runny spinny kicky for my taste. A couple cool tricks are all fine and dandy, and there are plenty of traditional forms that are pretty darn difficult; but If forms were soup, most Nandu is like a bowl filled with salt and cayenne pepper with a couple drops of broth. It's interesting, and... creative, but not something I'd enjoy.
