How effective would these styles be in a modern day street environment?

[MightyB]

I actually really want to do Bak Mei but no schools around my area unfortunately.

But on the bright side. Wing Chun looks really appealing so might give that a shot and see how it goes.

They seem to be similar styles, at least to me... but whatever style you choose - stick with it and enjoy. Don't let other people discourage you.

so lets get this right, you asked about the effectiveness of a number of styles, then admit at least one of them you have no hope of training, then mention another style not on your original list, before people waste too much time what arts are actually near you...

pak mei is closer to southern mantis than wing Chun, pak mei and wing chun have fundermental differences in terms of generating power, strategy when fighting technices used etc

well that, and if you take a look through the wing chun forum you'll see that there is a requirement that you be argumentative, stubborn and unchanging in your point of view and you need to mouth box a lot better than anyone else. Also, be angry.

P.S If you're a real candidate for wing chun, you won't find any of that funny and you will issue some sort of challenge that will ultimately go nowhere.
Just ask Bawang.

[wiz cool c]

i would put hung gar up there at the top. with all the clawing and poking,along with the dynamic tension and body condition,makes you feel buff,strong and ready

[Lokhopkuen]

Bust a cap in anyone's a s s that messes with you. None of these long winded choomes on this forum know squat about the martial arts.

I highly recommend the h&k MP 5 and a good concealment rig

If you opt out on firearms go to NYC and find this guy teaching lama Pai kung Fu,
He will teach you the ins and outs or real kung fu.

Yeah, I don't issue challenges over this forum. However I'd be happy to spar with anybody in Toronto. Again, not holding my breath.

PM if you are going to be in Markham or shoot me a line in FB and I'll give you my cell # to text. We can play any number of things out in the secret lair mo gwoon I keep there. No crazies, no ego filled ruckus, just a good work out and some sharing. That's typically what we do.

Having said that. That's a nice MP5 attache setup Kisu. is it yours? Because dayum! lol budda budda brudda would be a cool nickname.

I'll definitely let you know next time I'm out that way. I rarely leave downtown, midtown and east york but I come up to the outer reaches of the GTA once every fortnight or ten.

Most Wednesday evenings (except 2nd wed of month) or Friday afternoons are training days.
But in the summer months, I travel a bit more myself and go visit friends kwoons or do outdoor sessions etc.
