Drunken Monkey Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 .....this is where i chime in and say that while 'kung fu' is not a martial art, it does, in one way mean (chinese) martial art. the context of the term as used in chinese is not in anyway similar to what it is in english. if you try to understand/describe what the term means according to english, you will miss the point and most probably get it wrong. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

Rotten Head Fok Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 and there you have it.... You must be stable and balanced in your foot work, if you have to use your martial knowledge in combat, your intent should be to win. If you do strike, you must release great power! The martial arts are easy to learn, but difficult to correct.
