wow that kick sound amazing .. i dont even think i can jump 360 LOL ... but then again im a newb at MAs

we did this as an exercise when i first started MAs. it was really weird at first .. i had a guy about my height and weight almost swinging on my arm ... there is some explanation but truth is i just cncentrated and relaxed my arm .. it wouldn't move!!!

ok i found out what my club is : ... our club is caled Shen Hsing Tao ( which i think means mind body spirit ) the club doesnt concentrate on one set style we hav adopted all styles and a syllabus was writing for our federation in the early 60s i tihnk. i was speaking to my teacher and he said ' we use many styles ... some parts are judo, some kung fu , tai chi chaun, ba qua, jujitsu, taekwondo' i was like .. WAH!?!? im really learnin that many things ?!?! and this is why i figure i got my orange in 3 months .. the lower belts are easily achieved to keep people interested and most ppl in my area are lazy ppl who need encouragment. but i know its going to be a lot harder to get my green and so on

did she win the fight ?

it depends like so many will say... i dont know much but my club is a wide range of MAs .. not just one style i learn kung fu jujitsu chinese boxing ba qua judo karate etc etc .. i dnot know any specific styles so one of the experts will help i think ju jitsu is mostly about locks and disabling ... i tihnk

wow jujitsu sounds great .. does it emphasise on locks ?

oh right cool ... well after university i'll shop around europe then and get advice from masters

side step then puch to the ribs maybe a kick ... and make the guy feel bad by applying an arm lock of some sort

it doesnt matter wot belt he is .. im orange belt .. doesnt make me as good as the guy next to me wearin the same colour belt

wow 75 years .. most ppl i kno hav like a few years .. one of my uncles has 15 years exp the other around 30 .. he's a 4th daun in judo ..

yes nail em with a few punchs ... if u read the article about weak point below the belt hit em in one of those as hard but as accurate as u can .. then RUN !!

would it hurt to do both ? .. i mean learn two sides of MAs ...

yeah the master that visits occasionally is really good .. he will stand there in a push hands stance with you then after a few second he bearly moves and pushs you about 10 feet accross the room .. its amazing how the guys build up their power. it fascinates me

wow thx guys .. not sure who said it but yes we do basic applications to remember the form which is fun because i get to train with guys that are a lot bigger than me ... in our tai chi we're learnin the form that has been simplified for western use , im learning the first 13 moves at the minute and thats been for about 1 or 2 months... its all fun and i do my personal best to learn as much as i can without sufferin with too much concentration

im not advanced enough for weapons yet lol

the club i go to hasnt been running long but a book would be a good idea ... atm the main proffesional advice we get is monthly from a visiting master

my main reasons for studying is for self protection and health .. did i answer the question ? lol

@ drunken monkey .. i dont know ... im not sure about my classes i would prefer a chinese master to be my teacher but no can do .. i want to travel to china some time in the future and maybe practice for a year .. i'll find out my style

yeah i knew the translation just wondered if it was the original term .. thx any ways

im not sure about the kung fu style but my tai chi is tai chi chaun by master chen man ching ... the reason i got my orange so fast was because i took kung fu when i was 12 and could still remember all the stuff .. it was just applying it all and nope not been in a 'real' street fight yet .. although one guy jumped me once .. got rid of him then realised he had about 20 freinds with him .. age old fasion of run away came in handy on that night

how long would it take for me to be able to defend my self successfully ? im 16 and attend upto 3 weekly classes in kung fu and tai chi chaun does it take years? .. months? im into my 3rd month of MAs Orange belt in kung fu ( see below )

im learning tai chi .. the guy who made our style up is Master Cheng Man Ching .. wots this style called ?

im practicing tai chi chaun .. its really good im into my 2nd or 3rd month ... the breathing exercises are good and learning the form will take a while oh and martial application it great fun

hey im in a club called 'shen hsing tao' we practice tai chi chaun, kung fu and ba qua. i was told that ba qua can be used to strengthen our bodies and improve our balance ... everything we do comes together and helps the other arts ... is this a good way to learn ?
