Traditional-Fist Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 If your kungfu school is good then stick to kungfu. If you are in a hurry then take up Thai Boxing as you will develope fighting abilities faster. If you are patient and if your instructor is good I believe that you will get great results from your Shaolin training.Whatever you do I believe that you should not mix the two. Use your time on an art that is worthwhile and not on a dozen irrelevant "ways".
Matrix0978 Posted May 13, 2005 Author Posted May 13, 2005 the correction.... its chuan fa' or 'Shaolin Kempo.... not kung fu.Ok thanks guys. I believe i might take both classes.
Goju_boi Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 can u get the same benefits from kick boxing and muay thai? https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
CapitalKarate Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 I'd say go into boxing to learn how to defend yourself against boxing punches, or at least, learn how boxers think, and find a way to counter it. The best way to counter an art is first to learn the art you wish to counter.

TJS Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 can u get the same benefits from kick boxing and muay thai?kickboxing is a broad term...international Kickboxing can be very similar to muay thai where as american kickboxing is more like full contact karate..basically it depends on the stlye/school/training meathods.
CapitalKarate Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 ^^^ exactly. Though I've heard of some kickboxing schools being tougher than certain Muay Thai schools. Again, it depends upon the organization and the instructors. Joshua Brehm-When you're not practicing remember this; someone, somewhere, is practicing, and when you meet them, they will beat you.
Traditional-Fist Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 Shaolin Kempo and Chuan Fa = KUNG FU. Use your time on an art that is worthwhile and not on a dozen irrelevant "ways".
Muaythaiboxer Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 crosstraining is the way to go and boxing is probably the best style to crosstrain in. Fist visible Strike invisible
CapitalKarate Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 I would not go as far as to say boxing is the best to crosstrain in. It certainly is a good art to crosstrain in, but not be the best. It really depends upon what your core style is and what experience you've had in other arts. Joshua Brehm-When you're not practicing remember this; someone, somewhere, is practicing, and when you meet them, they will beat you.
Goju_boi Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 my question hasn't been answered.Would u get the same benefits of boxing from any form of kickboxing? https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
