and was changlled by the Deadly 12, but never did, for being too stuck up in his speech and action. Actions movies of the 70's or 80's you will be able to see real MA Actor/Actress doing some real cool MA tricks in their films. As we progress, so does the movie industry. The mighty NEO, who can fly around the world of virtual reality, was taught how to fight to look good as a form of entertainment for TOP BOX OFFICE.

Through the learning process of "killing", One will appreciates the beauty of LIFE.

The ethics of an martial artist have never change. The change is in HUMAN.

Wing Chun is an art that applies "short bridge hand", get near them, walarr... I've seen an article regarding Polish police officer applying the technique in wing chun into their unarmed combat training for that fast pace knock down oppenent.

Hey, ppl around the world knows Neo for his:"I Know Kung Fu!". Movie industries makes unknown humans as famous artists around the world. Packagin is the key word.

relax is to not get over excited. your mind can be calm and your vision clearer. ever been in a situation whereby you are too angry and you just don't know what you doing or going to do next? over relaxing to me is lazy, when your body is in that mode, you can't do anything, yar my way relaxing is mostly focus on the shoulder, arms and waist. leg should be a little tense to help get hold of some rooting.

The respect gesture was used even before the ching dynasty, so can really say it is for that purpose.

Bare Hand routines are already hard to learn

I am Jack of All Trade in Wushu. My main practise in Hung Gar but anything that falls into the Southern Fist is my game.

No offence meant f.t.g.u., I just wanna show a very standard approach towards Kungfu This is a common e.g. of relating a CMA as Kung Fu f.t.g.u. has express the art of Hung Gar as Kung Fu and yet all this is still under the umbrealla of Wushu, yar

Dun really know the term "bon sao" or maybe my shifu uses another term. In wushu, there are so call "open concept move" and "hidden concept move". Some move might look really stupid when practise or perform in the routine, but most (real art) will have hidden meaning in that particular move. Think and apply (set sparring) and see what you can come out with.

If you mean fingers, the possibilities are there, but than the opponent must be able to catch them (fingers) first, right? Morever, if I can lock your arms or legs, they are still "breakable"! In Wing Chun, your palm are not that fully open, it is somewhat like a dragon palm/claw in some southern art. Maybe your shifu haven't taught you or you didn't really take a closer look

Thank You! Thank You!

In Singapore, where crime rate is relatively low, the practise of martial art for self-defence is not seen as main draw. After the years of learning wushu, it had help me gain confident and gain friendship. I have actually wriiten a post on What Have Wushu Taught You!.

Wing Chun open hand usually is use for tapping, grapping and locking. A open hand will relax overall arm muscle than a close fist and in Wing Chun (or most wushu skill), relax is the key point to faster movements.

After so many years of training in CMA, I was struck by a term use by my friend about rooting. :shock: The first few lesson of any wushu forms, we usually started out with stances. Why are stances so important? Those who lag self-determination will usually give up after a few lesson on horse ridding (or "Zhan Zhuan"), too tiring and don't see the connection between standing horse in relation to wushu routines or application. Stances is to root you to the earth to gain for the better in anything you wish to improve in your CMA. By able to root down, you can gain (1) physical strength in your leg muscles, (2) ability to do better kick, (3) able to move much more swifter without falling, (4) ability to stop when you want to. Sound un-real. Take the 42 step complusory taiji for example. There is a move where you do a outer cresent kick standing on a single leg doing it swift and hold it there... Those who did it correctly will be able to, after the snap, continue with the rest of the action; those who can't will felt unstable and urge to fall. Having that same feeling for those taiji practisioner? Even the simplest move in Long Boxing style (Chang Quan) require you to do rooting. Next time when you do a high rising kick (Zhen Ti Tui), try with rooting down before kicking. The amount of power you transmit should be on your standing leg, not on your kicking. The Mission Impossible...

In wushu, most moves can be logically explained scientifically, just that traditional master wasn't teach in science...

My pleasure to help people to understand... Some also uses the term "Moe Kung" - Wu Gong / Martial Skill, to signify combat art of wushu...

The first physical lesson in wushu usually are the stances. In CMA, we believe all energy comes from the earth and to be able to use that energy, we must root our leg to the earth, hence the practise of stances. No matter what you do (in wushu), when you move, change step, doing a kick or just standing there, you must root your leg (1 or both) to the ground. The focus on groin, pelvis and small calve muscles is important in rooting down.

During my practise of Zen Style Taichi, shifu says, practise any form of excersie will help you bring up your "Chi" level, to prolong your training, to enhance your health, all with better breathing techniques of "Chi Kung". Application of "Chi" into your power is call "Nai Kung" or "Inner Engery Strength". Shifu show me a stunt, I push my fist into his stomach, motionlessly, with a single breath act, within his (shifu's) stomach, I felt another "THING" pushing my fist out, very fast. My hand was "thrown" out from his stomach In Chinese, Qigong and Neigong has similarity. Qigong is the air we breath, Neigong is using the air we breath and apply into usage. The stomach stunt is Neigong. "Wu Dang" master came to Singapore to perform in 1995 along with others. He did a super performance of "Chi Kung" which I will remember for life. A old lady was ask to stand behind a wall. Master stands on the other side and starts to perform. Standing in a bow stance with his palm out stretch towards the direction of the old lady (behind the wall remember). Master slowing retract his palm and the old lady starts to bend backwards, the more Master retract his palm, the more the lady bends, which I think it is impossible for an old age grandma to be able to bend (unless she practise the art of yoga ) What master is doing is actually using his "Chi" to manover the "Chi" around the lady to help her bend. In plain english, controlling of air in the environment.

There are serval form of Drunken Style. Drunken Pole, Drunken Sword, Drunken Fist..... Its history is unknown, but the style does exsit. Becos of the unnatural movement and stances, it usually caught opponent off-guard. But dunno wat will happen when a drunken fighter fight a jiu-jitsu grappler

dun have to do martial arts, you can do joggin plus meditation or yoga courses..

I have read alot of poster who uses the name Kungfu for Chinese Martial Arts, and I would like to share... In Asia country, we name CMA as Wushu not kungfu, simply becos kungfu can be anything, cooking kungfu, building kungfu, swimming kungfu. In a nutshell, kungfu in our (asia) hearts mean "ability to be good in". Wushu can be term as Internal or External art of CMA, before the Chinese Revolution, wushu is call Guo Shu > Country Art (China). But when CMA is brought into western country, it became: 1)wushu - flowerly pattern of CMA, not use for combat 2)kungfu - traditional CMA which can be for combat Did I miss anything out

My main subject is Hung Gar Kuen and over the years I learn from different Master and Instructor the art of Southern Shaolin, Nghor Chor (5 Master Art), Har Gar Kuen, Hsing-I, Pat Kua Palm and bit of this and that, but mostly covers on wushu. As a local (singapore) wushu instructor, I have also gone through the course for contemp wushu and international compulsory routines. So to put it in simple words, I'M JACK OF ALL TRADE I now figuring through the art of Jiu-Jitsu for its grappling methods, which I hope can incorperate into my wushu teaching methods
