I'm not certain what might be the problem,but if the gym corrected your posture then after taking WC it got worse then it seems it's a strenght related problem.Wc if done correctly should make your posture better not worse.

There is a good book called "The art of Shaolin" by Wong Kiew Kit..its a good read that explain shoalin style and has a basic 5 animal form in the book.Actually, I would recomend reading any of his books.There all good.That's a good place to start.

It's a shame the Chinese are throwing away their heritage which took hundreds of years to develope.I'm sure someday they will want it back ,but it will be to late.Most of all masters have left already or sold out to Wushu.

Hello and welcome back....stick around

Greetings

I wish the Chinese Government would have called their sport something then Wushu.It just creates confussion and some people think this is real MA.

I study wing chun and have had 5 teachers from different schools.Studying Wing Chun might seem easier to learn and maybe it is,but it depends really who is doing the teaching.If the wing Chun sifu is a drill sargent then it will be just as hard to learn as any other art.

There are tons of instructional videos and DVD's out there.What styles are you interested in?

The most important thing is not so much the style but the teacher,so you need to find a good teacher.A good teacher can take you a long way.Ask around about the rep of each teacher and judge for your self.I also look to see how much the teacher gets involved with the students progress.A one on one approach.If th eteacher just sits there and does nothing I probly head for the door.

No question bruce lee made a big impact on the MA.Bruce Lee is a house hold name.If he was'nt a movie star I doubt anyone would know him.Bruce Lee was like the first cross trainer when it was not cool to be doing that.Now it's reversed.

I don't understand if your a kid why do you need a black belt and why worry how long it takes? when you get your BB what then retire?

Hi Theadric...what is CDK?

Welcome...

NO...there where many who where better then him.He even said he was not the best..

that guy looked pretty fast to me.I'dont know if what he did was practical or not.

I have that movie on DVD...Not a great movie...Bole seems to always to play the bad guy.

giang_hu you use a low horse in your WC?

I also read Bolo was a professional Body builder before before studing MA.

Sounds like a good combo of MA.Is it all intergrated or is it taught as separate styles?

Hi Erin...Try as many MA as you can to see what you like.Find one that fits your liking.. Are you a Irish Gal?
