Famousity of chinease martial arts


Recommended Posts

Not sure where the notion that Chinese gung fu doesn't work. Any modern style of MA that "does work" owes its foundation to Chinese gung fu. Japanes martial arts? Descendants of Chinese gung fu. Okinawan MA? Descendants of gung fu. Korean? Chinese gung fu.

 

In fact, it can be argued that martials arts owes its beginnings not to the northern and southern Shaolin Monks, but to Bodhidarma (Da Mo per the Chinese), an Indian aristocrat who shared internal and external exercises with the Monks of the Shaolin temples.

Famous for...........Um

 

Being too chaotic, being standard declining

 

:roll:

 

Too many schools, branches style emphasized

 

different fighting styles make Kung Fu difficult to promote.

 

Lack of competition make the combat system

 

become worse.

i dont get why somekind of competition is a must for an art to be a good system.

Being too chaotic

to what are you refering to?

Too many schools

 

too many schools? what schools in particular have no right to exist?

 

i might have missunderstood your entry, though. did you say what you think of chinese arts or did you repeat what others say, like Drunken Monkey did?

dammit, y'know, my name sounds much better in cantonese...

post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are.

Some Shaolin monks, Wu Don Taoists and other guy try some regulation

 

with no glove and result in many broken finger and joint.

 

Taking hand grapping skill as example, you cannot really good

 

till you have broken some bone. May be cruel but this is true.

 

Chaotic.

 

I mean system.

 

China himself is a big area in which generate many

 

fighting style. Flowery styles exist while powerful exist also.

 

Form can cheat many beginner that give impression

 

that Kung Fu is a fake.

 

To me, Modern Wushu is nothing more than

 

rubbish that put further insult to Kung Fu

Believe nothing you hear, half of what you see, and everything you know.

And you really think that Chinese Martial Art is not known for its power and for kicks :-? ? I can see you have never been to a Chinese Martial Art School.

Give Japan and Korea their proper respect for refining their respective styles. But the arts practiced in both of those countries originated in China. So if/when someone ever asks you what the Chinese are known for, now you can tell them.

not entirely true. BJJ history is traced back to japanese jujutsu, which can't be verifiably traced back to china...

No it can't. If anything, China's roots may stem from Alexander the great and what was taught by his men as he went through India. Also, there are several chinese styles, like shuai chiao and the islamic longfist systems that have NOTHING whatsoever to do with shaolin.

 

Back to the topic, however, it depends on the style, and also whom you ask. xingyi is know for being linear and destructive. much of kung fu is known for being circular and thus "flowery"
