    - Kempo Karate (Tony Martin)

    30+ years of experience and accumulated knowledge
    -I'm the president of "Dave's basement of incredible martial arts deeds.
    -I have 2 instructor certifications
    -I have rank in 3 different martial arts black-kf / black-tkd / brown -IRKD
    -I am sanctioned by the gods themselves
    -I am a member of several and various Kung Fu organizations
    -Star in my own dreams, sometimes I wear a cape!
    - I've appeared a few times in various martial arts publications, and have had articles on Kung Fu process cited in masters and doctoral thesis (yes it's true, I couldn't believe it either, but there you have it!)

    So, is it ok If I run a school that has not very physically articulate beginners who look a little silly trying to do a form together?
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Serious question. Would you consider this guy a kung fu instructor? I didn't think there were many definitions of kung fu. What does kung fu mean to the martial artist and what does it mean to the avg person?

    future? more like the continuation of one dark corner of it. I call it "the America effect".

    No offense America, but as much good as you have brought to asian martial arts is balanced against all the monumentally stupid stuff.

    so....step!
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    No. I would consider him to be a mother****ing scam artist.
    It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a strategem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person.

    A couple of points -

    That is not tiger/crane (fu hok) in any sort of recognizable sense to ANYONE who EVER has practiced Hung Kuen / Hung Gar

    ergo it can be determined that this school is NOT legit.

    Or at least, not honestly presenting itself.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    I'll say that it is a *******ized version of tiger/crane yet still recognizable as tiger/crane. I didn't review his website but i think he advertises as kung-fu/tai chi place of wellness. So, it bring me again to the question, is it kung fu? Or is it just exercise. I know the definition of kung fu is skill obtained by hard work through time.

    It is completely wrong. the opening is incorrect and it is missing all the initial hand work at the beginning, no 2 sidedness.

    this is not recognizable as Tiger/Crane at all.

    Here is a tiger/crane clip, please compare. (thanks Frank B)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A7U2raBoUs

    Bear in mind this is an old man performing this set. There are much more powerful expressions of it available.

    I can show you several other iterations and I assure you, that clip of the beginners doing it was not that form. It was... well, I don't know what it is.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Brule , the Sifu in the Youtube video clip , do you know who his sifu is ?
    There is no such thing as advance Tiger / crane form , this sifu subtracted some moves , from the original tiger and crane set . Other Hung Gar Sifus might be laughing already .
