Welcome...

My favorite has to be "Fist of Legend" an old Jet Lei movie. "Drunken Master II" by Jackie Chan is also another favorite.

It's an effective surprise in a ring bout maybe once. I saw a guy use it at the Canadian San Shou Nationals, it was fairly effective, unfortunately he used it too much, and was Ko'd his next fight.

Good job man...

Sorry man I don't. I used to live in Calgary, and know a few of Miles' fighters. I think Trevor's gym is on the North somewhere. I'm a chinese stylist.

Who trains you kicker?

1) To protect myself and family 2) To protect the public 3) Fitness And of course because of all the beautiful ladies...that like to watch two grown men beat each other silly.

I think sponsorship is good to a point. I personally send letters out every year for donations for the club. In exchange we take out an ad in the local paper every year thanking all those who donated. I think in our situation it is appropriate as we are a non-profit association. Also it enables us to keep our training fees low, $350 Canadian / year ($230 US).

I think they look similar, because Judo was developed out of the teaching of jujitsu by Kano. They are based on similar principle, just variations in rules.

Unfortunately the answer on several occassions. Due to the fact I work in law enforcement, situations have come up, and I have had to defend myself or others. This has also included and empty hand (me) vs. a knife weilding assailant. Scary situations like this make me thankful for the years of hard training in Kung-fu.

World Championships in Armenia have been rescheduled, due to recent events. Many countries will not be attending the newly scheduled date at the end of the month. It is unfortunate...

Has anyone read the new book on Insanto?

Same Province...I'm betting your in Calgary and Train with Mike Miles...

All the info to contact me should be in your personal messages.

I think the best Jet Lei movie is "Fist of Legend", very impressive martial arts, no flying crap.

Thanks for the info...looking forward to a complete site.

Do you have a website RumbleZone? Where are these Canadians from? Need info on sanctioning etc... Cheers

Almost 100% of fights start standing up...so it's a logical place to start your training.

Gung (Kung) fu literally translated means 'hard work' Gung ho - "work crazy" So you can be Gung ho 'bout gung fu...

Just a word of caution with the keys between the fingers. Never place the keys between the fingers of a closed fist and punch, it will rip the webbing between your fingers on impact. I can cause you alot of damage.

I have done judo for years, but switched to kungfu, as obviously the is not striking in judo, and I felt I learned what I needed from the sport. My brother still takes judo and has never stopped, over 16 years he has trained in judo. We still fight any time we can. It's funny when we get together, often we end up in the basement or in the backyard and practicing.

My Gym is The Lions Den6 of http://www.vivi.com A fun game

San Shou is not really a style per say, but rather a set of rules under which to compete. The main difference you would find is the difference in the clinch. Because San Shou involves throws to a great extent, it changes the strategies during the clinch.

Different coloured Gi's for rank in Kung-Fu? How does that work?

I think that Chinese systems that incorporate Chi na in their systems are very effective, as they cover all ranges, weapons, kicking, punching, trapping, throws, and ground work. Shuai Chiao has somewhat gone the way of BJJ, many people focus on the sport aspect too much. They are different, again it is hard to find a good instructor; however I think you may be able to in Vancouver. BJJ is more widespread and easier to find...
