I'm your Huckleberry
I've been working on my kickboxing skills for 4+ years now. Also, my basic grappling. I've got a background in muay thai and submission grappling. And some judo.
Anyways, I work in jail so I get to fight people regularly. I've never needed to use anything other than the basics.
Even so, i've decided that i'll just be a video learner of forms to keep my mobility and proprioception up while I focus on strength training again.
No real point to this thread really. Just saying. Flame away.

which forms are you planning on learning/practicing?

Gwok-Si, Gwok-Faht"

If you want to learn forms properly then do it with a genuine kung fu teacher.Originally Posted by JamesC

Pls forgive my ignorance but just browsing by the forum and I wondered what a "LARPer" is???
Or was it self explanitory because you pretty much described it??? is a LARPer just MMA of some sort??

you already have your basics
they are bread and butter.
learning some forms would be a nice window on the dressing.
al thou you may not need to do that

you'll have to go back and read every work "hardwork" has ever written, and follow it to the letter. Then truly you will be a master of LARP'ing

lol, well...
I plan on just picking up some of Wing Lam's Hung Gar tapes and learning those.
Mostly because i'm working on my strength training right now so, hopefully, it will go hand-in-hand with that.
Again, i'm just doing it because I need something to keep my mobility and coordination up so I don't get slow and clumsy while I focus on lifting again.

First off, WL's tapes are quite good, I have his Iron Wire dvd and it is very informative and quite close to the IW I learned.
Second off, forms don't = LARPING, sorry.
Forms+no-sparring+ my lineage is bigger than yours+It's not what I can but what stories I have heard that matters+ only I and those that agree with me have the real kung fu= LARP

I know, I was just being a smart ass.
Just saying that I plan on be a video learner for the next few months+.
My intention is to get a copy of Kung Gee Fuk Fu and learn that one since it is so **** complicated i'll probably end up spending all my available time on that one.
I'd also like to get a good staff set.

I plan on purchasing a" Live Action" video of adults having sex so I can review what I have been missing since I am married with a 3 year old who doesn't have her own room yet!
Is that LARPing?

I have a 2 year old and an 8 month old. I beat you.
Sex is hard to come by.

this invites another big question
that is what is considered a good routine or forms.
mantis forms are my favorites, they have everything
1. yang tai chi forms, nah, jumps and stomping feet are missing
2. ba gua. a lot of walking and walking

but each may cultivate or help your certain movements
gong zi fu hu or bow character taming tiger is good.
but we all start with standing in basic postures or stances first
