Lol. Yup, Kung Fu is my lifestyle!

**Red-X**

<_< im gonna try n learn wushu this summer

**Aleksi U**

I used to do kickboxing in my High School years

Right now some far east martial arts interests me Very Happy

**Quinlan-Vos**

Have you looked around in your area for a good teacher red?
I perhaps could lean you towards the right direction in finding a master worth his / her salt.

Shall i expand on difference's and similarities of Kung fu vrs. WuShu? at some point Cool

**Aureus**

Ur ninja status vs ma gun

LULULUL I kid

Martial arts ftw

**Red-X**

yeah you could gvie meh the diffs and the sims

**Champion**

So what would you do if I walked in your studio, kicked everyones ass including your masters all while wearing that dragon head in the background?

**Quinlan-Vos**

Don't know that i would do much. My ass would be on the ground. Sad

But i can run pretty fast, and pretty far - lol.

Oh and its a "Lion" head...fairly heavy. And awkward to hold for beginners. Lion dance is 2 man. Dragon dance is 10 man.

As for beating my sifu, or for that matter, Si-Gung... Luck be with you.

Have you killed people before? Cool

**Quinlan-Vos**

Kwoon is the word we use for school, or studio. And i meant nothing besides joking about the kill ppl thing...

Both my master and grand master are / were military.

My sifu is Marine. A good book was published about his time in Vietnam. Hill488.
Grand master trained military combat tactics with riffle and bayonet, as well unarmed combat.
-certainly respect is owed. afro

**Champion**

Yes, the last person I killed I also ate for a protein snack.

**soran**

**SCRUNGIE 1**

Sorry Quin which style is this? you may have written it somewhere but I couldn't see it:P

**Quinlan-Vos**

Yea bud all good....

Hung Gar Kung Fu.
Southern Shaolin curriculum.
Very widely known as the Tiger and Crane system. Although we do 5 different animals of kung fu, and 5 different elements of chinese kung fu and theory. Tiger and Crane is the most prominent.

Also we develop our characters as martial artists...through the characteristics of animals...

Tiger - Brave
Crane - Patient
Snake - Respectful
Leopard - Agile
Dragon - Spirit

Many many characteristics can be added to the list of these animals... i only named one each.

**Spidey**

i could kick your ass champ... if you were in a coma Smile

also... snakes are respectful?

**SCRUNGIE 1**

oh awesome, id love to try the animal styles one day. From the parts I have seen, snake appealed to me the most.

I really need to start martial arts again, I have done Wing Chun in the past and loved it.

**Quinlan-Vos**

Cool dude Wing chun is also a southern Chinese system.I recomend you write a few things down in what you want to get from your martial art (as to get the most out of your training)...

1.) animal styles..
2.) self def-fence
3.) health benefits
4.) so on...

Wing chun would be cool for you to get back into, do you have a local teacher around, that you know of...?

Snakes = Respectful. Yup. Chinese culture, and really just good "woodsman ship" (-in my opinion) would show that snakes usually wont ever bit without being provoked first. And even then some rattle and hiss away to let you know: "Hey bud, one strike and its over." Odd analogy. "Don't go near, Nothing to fear."

**SCRUNGIE 1**

Yeah we were encouraged to think about why we are training and what we want to get out of it. In fact in one of our gradings we had to list what benefits we expect to gain from training.

I have practiced Wing Chun at two academy's but unfortunately both have closed down. As far as I know there are no decent places teaching traditional WC in my local area, but there is a very good academy I know of in the city, its just very expensive and I cant afford it atm. but I will certainly check it out when I get some money.

When I said snake appealed to me it was because the movements, but what you have written about what the snake represents is pretty close to my morals as well. I wont start anything, but if you start it im gonna end it... fast.
