  1. http://www.shaolinwolf.com/maguideindex/maguideindex.htm it's the black tiger i believe
  2. Assassin as in the book that talks about the "hashashin"? this is more like an art of stabbing and killing, isnt it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashashin this is an art of the Ismaili's and Nizari's against the arabs, it's not an arabic martial art. the only thing i'd consider an MA of arabs is sword fighting which was around 1600 years ago, where they used to start an army battle with 3 pairs fighting from each army first, and the armies would join!
  3. i know they have a new one practiced majorly by militants, they talked about it in the news it's like krav maga and stuff, basically aimed against police, army and forces like that... but im not sure how it looks like or what it's called or anything
  4. this leaves arabs only with no martial arts! bad for them
  5. could u tell us more about some of the differences between mantis styles? like the 8-step, or the blooming something, and 7-star?
  6. that's why u should always practice with people better than you if u wanna be big u play big bro (former gang member) jk
  7. actually i found a good source about kung fu history, and chinese arts in general http://www.shaolinwolf.com/index.html im answering myself here!
  8. oh, i also know that Mantis Kung Fu is associated with the Ming dynasty era
  9. i think of those as tools u have in ur pockets, it's up to u to pull one and work with it when u feel like it. sometimes they are a restriction only if you think that you must only use one of these forms... or moves good post
  10. i used to play with my cool viet friends about not having a MA, but i guess i cant anymore man those gatka guys are PHAT dude... lol
  11. first of all, i want to remind you that i ONLY asked the question coz I DONT KNOW!!!!! second i got such info from sites such as: http://www.mrdowling.com/613chinesehistory.html http://www.crystalinks.com/chinadynasties.html i basically google things!
  12. neither hong kong, nor Taiwan are china (i mean they are, and they are not, depends on your political views, but u know what i mean)
