I live in a small, pleasant, city/town which has two schools.
One is a kung fu/kickboxing (?) school, Lau Gar style, and when I asked about the kickboxing bit they said "well, they're basically the same at the lower levels anyway, so when you've done a couple of grades you can choose which one you'd like to do."
The other school is pretty good, Shaolin 5 Animals / Wing Chun. Although they're not much on the basics and there's not much sparring, they are well into the proper execution of technique, applications, forms etc.
Unless you really go looking for it, not much need to test your skills.
Maybe this affects my training, although I try to train as hard as I can. I only moved from my old school last September, so I still train like they do.
Huang, I have left a message for you on the pictures of Wushu Chik thread. It would be nice if you responded. I'm not getting aggressive or funny, btw, I'm just curious.

'"4 ounces deflect 1000 pounds" represents a skill potential, if you stand in front of a 1000 pound charging bull and apply four ounces of deflection, well, you get the picture..' - Tai Chi Bob
