All I read and seen on muay thai seems pretty interesting, but sadly there is no school that teaches it in my area. Would kick boxing be a good replacement? What are the differences between the two? Currently learning traditional Kung-fu, think I might wanna add something more "modern" and physical to my work outs.

You could probably make him go to jail for that

I can reach the head if properly streched before and my muscles are hot (worked out before hand), couldn't do it when getting jumped in the streets without hurting myself. And when I try to get that high I just lose alot of power.

umm dont you guys have insaine suicide rate though? Cuz we keep staring ourselves down in the mirror.

Like I said in a previous post, I have been doing kung-fu for only a few months now, and I love it but i find other styles really interesting too. At first I thought that cross training would only make me progress slower in kung-fu (cause every class I'd take in something else would be one I could of spent on kung-fu) but then, all the styles are based on the human body, so they all got similarities. I think cross training can only make you better in all your martial arts. (finally decided to work out muscle mass in a gym instead of choosing an other style (kick boxing), sadly don't have time to do all I want martial art wise, oh well, I'll just keep that idea in mind and start kick boxing later)

Not sure about the translation, but in mandarin it is My Jong Law Horn. The style is pretty new, but combines two old shaolin nothern styles (Mitsun and Lohan). Can find history here : http://www.albertakungfu.ca/style/index.html (I don't train it in alberta, but in Quebec)

So I take it not alot of people has used it

Hi, I have been practicing Mitsun Lohan kung-fu for a few months now. I have been on a couple MA boards and everywhere I seem to see that alot of ppl doubt kung-fu's efficiency in a real, dirty, street fight. Everyone all seems to vouch for bjj stylists and what not, saying kf is all about pretty forms and stuff. Now I wonder, have any of you used ur kf to get out of fights?
