Hello People, I have a small proplem. Its embarrasing that as a man I can't do 10. I can't do press ups to save my life. I did 5 and just struggled to get to 10. Is there an easier way to start and then gradually make it harder as I go along?

where are they now?

Say eagle claw kung fu. Its is not a which style would win thread it is a which is more effective for streetfighting/real situations in the short and long term?

KM is more deadly isn't it?

This isn't so much a style vs style who would win thread? its more of which style is more useful for street defence. So far what I am getting is KM is better for street defence. But then what is Kung Fu good for?

In this day and age of escalting violence one must learn how to defend himself effectively. What are the similarities and differences between Krav Maga and Kung fu(be it Northern or southern/hard or soft style)? How do each benefit on a long and short term bases in terms of self defence? And finally which is most effective in real life/ street situations? When I say real life/self defence situation I mean if someone wanted to hurt you or a family member. And it was "kill or be killed" which is more effective?

So Tai chi doesn't have deadly techniques?

When I say real I mean learning Tai chi as a martial art not a meditative exercise

this thread doesn't seem too productive

I am planning a visit to chen village and I'll be staying there for 2 yrs. If I go in September do you think I'll be learning real TaiChi Chuan?

Are there any dim mak spots n the wrist?

I hope your right. I hear tai chi uses something called "Dim Mak" which is something like acupuncture. Is it effective? is there any scientific proof or evidence that it can work?

I have no doubt in my mind that I'll be learning real tai chi. I have booked a 2 yr course to the famous chen village in october. All I wanted to know was how tai chi would fair against a commando or military martial art.

only push hands i think. they do dim mak as well but thats bullshit. there is no scientific evidence that it works.

Taiji fajin you must realise that Tai chi is first and foremost a martial art. If it is not designed to cause serious damage or death then it is there to provide some form od self defence. You can't say I want to learn a martial art and not learn how to fight.
