Whats your thoughts on this?
Popkov replied to Guitar_lover's topic in Kung Fu, JKD, Wing Chun, Tai Chi, and Chinese Martial Artshard to tell, but since there are no large shaolin temples that actually teach shaolin kungfu and not some form of wushu, it could be a big scam. if you wanted to find a real shaolin temple it wont be a big pagoda filled valley with foggy mountains in the back ground from the 15th centuary. i went to a shaolin school with only around 50 students and 3 teachers. and that was not a fake wushu one like most are today.

The wearing of belts in chinese martila arts !?!?!?!?
Its true what you say, i got belts, but i would not realy think about them, i to dont think belts are nessesary, they are used to seperate people into classes of there skill in big Kungfu schools, but if there are just a few people in a school less than 50, belts seem pretty pointless,

Getting bullied, tactics?
you need to hit him, but first if i were you i would do some muscle training and then kick his *. and if he is stronger than you take him by surprise and hit him when he least expects it. well that is what i would do in your situation, but you may not like this idea.

Kung Fu - Hard on the knees?
in the long term it will make your knees stronger, but it can realy hurt when doing some basic things if you do alot of the same move but it stops after a while.

Northern/Southern Shaolin
Popkov replied to CapitalKarate's topic in Kung Fu, JKD, Wing Chun, Tai Chi, and Chinese Martial Artsit depends how mutch you are willing to put in a day, a teacher cant make you great at kungfu you have to do it yourself, if you want to use it extremely effectivly i would suggest 3 hours of training a day, if you realy want to be excellent at it i would go to a chinese shaolin kungfu temple/school. in my opinion this is the only way you can get very good at this, there are not many schools which do this martial art though in most western countries. if you do not want to know alot in great detail you can find things on the internet and teach yourself from them.

Back pain...
hi, i have recently been doing alot of training, i started getting a pain in my back a couple of days ago on my upper right hand side of my back, i would consult a docter of acupressure or acupuncture, but in this glorious westernised world i could not find one. and the only way for me i think to find one near by is back near my home 10,000 miles away, so... i was wondering if anyone had any stretches/ techniques which could help?

5 point palm exploding heart technique
no im pretty sure that you cannot do that, i went to a kungfu school and we never were taught anything about exploding hearts, but yu can stop a hart by hitting it, and puncture the upper stomach with your hand and take the heart out. but when would this be any use to anyone? if you were aiming on killing someone you could just kick them very hard in the head or neck.
