Jennifer, I thought Chin-Na was more part of a system than a complete system in itself. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks

I think another contributing factor to this is schools that hand out black belts as if they were candy on Halloween. Ranks should be earned, not bought.

Always looking for training partners

Nice. I too, firmly believe in blending different martial arts together into one. Though one style may be capable of handling every scenario, other styles may work better in certain situations. What is American Freestyle BTW? PE

When you say that your style is a combination of Wing Chun, Tae Kwon Do, etc., what is the percent make up of each one? Is it 75% Wing Chun or is it an even 25% of each style? Which one is more emphasized? Thanks

Hello there! Could you please explain to us about your style? I'm not too familiar with it. Thanks

Since there are so many different kung-fu styles, I really can not speak for all of them. But from the styles I have taken, power is derived from whipping and sinking motions. Where as karate gets much of their power from chambering and the use of the hip, (external) Kung-fu generates it from within the body (internal). *doesn't necessarily mean chi* This is something that is better explained through actual physical demonstration.

Tobias, don't be fooled by it's "looks". I've been in Martial Arts for over 15 years and started out in Karate. After 10 years in it, I switched over to various kung-fu styles and the experience has been amazing. Karate's movements are very dynamic, thus looking more powerful. Kung-fu's movements are much more subtle, but contains a tremendous amount of depth within each action. Power is there, it's just delivered in a different way.
