well we have tensho,but my schools website doesn't mention hakutsuru.I think I'll ask sensei if we have it tonight?These are the katas in my dojos website:sanchin,gekisai dai ich,gekisai dai ni,saifa,seiyunchin,shisochin,sanseru,sepai,kururunfa,seisan,suparunpei,and tensho.Out of all of these the only one I kow for sure that has animal movements is tensho and kururunfa.

"that's to blanket of a statement... I know wc guys that absolutely suck. " theres people like that in any style "Actually, that's not true. They didn't come from chinese styles because they are great styles (not to say that they aren't, but what you are saying here is wrong) They come from their styles because their civilization is so old. chinese immigrants migrated to china, thailand, burma, etc. And they took their knowledge with them. THAT is why so many asian styles came from china. " well I guess that's true also,but there are a lot of styles that have used kung-fu as their foundation.For example my style.In my style the founder learned kung-fu from his teacher and later modified it to be a karate style.And it's similar for other karate styles and other martial arts.

not sure about spelling either,but why do kids have different katas?

so in open tournaments can you spar with more than one style(example karate mixed with muay thai or anything like that)?

well I can't really answer that because I'm not too familiar with how canada is.

great post,so I'm guessing there arent any yaw yan schools in america?Also is there a uniform and belt system for yaw yanistas or is it just a pair of kickboxing shorts?One more thing if you can direct me to a website that has yaw yan sparring in action it would be great. Thank you Goju_boi

how do you know that you are doing animal forms in karate?is it in the name of the kata , does your sensei tell you,or what?

lol,I've done that,but I was stopped after the person stopped defending himself.

what's shenmue?

"They say that karate-do has two separate sects: Shorin-ryu and Shorei-ryu. " what did he mean by this?

well goju ryu has the white crane,but I have no idea when I'm using it.

I've researched yaw yan,it sounds great ,but I havent found any schools in my area to check out.Can you tell me about their antigrappling system please?

well in myh dojo there is this one guy that came from shorin ryu,and he transisted easily over to goju-ryu

well many styles do cqc,our style does cqc.

doesn't hung gar have way more punches than kicks?If it is,he's going to be really out of his comfort zone.

I don't think there are any movies about shorin ryu in particular,but I think there is one about the founder of kyokushin.

well my community college has tkd and I think jkd,but theyre not free and they dont give you any credits.As for me it's not exactly dirt cheap because I'm an out of district student,so I have to pay double for my classes.

well pretty much chest and shoulders,my peripheral vision takes care of the rest.

don't you go in a tournament representing your style and school?

well I think that there arent too many people teaching these methods becuase ,well theyre outdated.Just do cardio and lift weights.The only one I would agree is still good is the iron body training.

youre right,I've also heard that the people took real hits when filming because they were ex thai fighters that din't care.

isn't naha te what my style came from?

yeah i heard that too,do you know when it comes out?Also mortal kombat shaolin monks is coming out sep.20

I don't know what Cung Le is, but he is a san da/san shou fighter.And as for Jason Delucia ,just go to https://www.sherdog.com and look him up.He's not a san da/san shou fighter,he's a 5 animal kung fu fighter or something.As for the comparison of these two styles weaknesses/advantages.Both are practical and simple,as a matter of fact the point to wing chun is simplicity.I do agree that wing chun doesn't have good conditioning,but I'm guessing their technique makes up for it.As for foot work,wing chun just like any styles has foot work.As for defense for leg attacks I wouldn't really know because I don't practice it.The reson for little or no kicks is because it is a close quarters system.I'm also going to guess the reason for being linear is because linear attacks are faster and simpler,wich brings up again their idea of being simple and efficient.Also wing chun has both weapons and grappling.With that said I think it's far from innefective,and that goes for other chinese arts.One more thing I don't want to sound like I hate muay thai either,hate is the opposite of what I feel about it.It's just that I'm standing up for chinese martial arts.

why would martial arts be outlawed in the usa?The only way I see that happening is if it were a cult or something.
