I thought 'natural style' was a level of attainment through years of practice in your chosen martial art. A progression from when the movements of the style felt akward or 'unnatural' in the begining of training. My Sifu's & Sigung's every movement follows the styles philosophy & principles correctly but both move naturally. It's amazing to watch or be on the receiving end of a technique.

We meditate at the begining of class during qi gong warm up & stance training. One class a week is devoted to sitting meditation. Breath control during the forms also creates a meditative state while moving. Focused intent in all movements is one of the training goals of my school.

Kung Fu = Time, Work, Skill. Surgeon, Artist, Musician, Chef, Olympic Athletes all have good kung fu. Thanks to the song & the tv show - most Americans think kungfu means chinese martial art. Kuen is probably a more accurate word to use for chinese fighting styles. Hung-Ga Kuen, Wing Chun Kuen, Jow Ga Kuen are a few examples.
