modern. If you want to cound things like the heavy bag and thai pads as traditional apparatus, then I guess you could say both.

I lift heavy weights - compound and olympic style lifts for strength, and try to stay up on the latest developments in strength training. I also run several days a week and train daily. skill work consists of heavy bag, shadowboxing, speed bag, focus mitts, calesthenics and sparring.

i'm glad that some of you have done a little research and come up with a few, although unverifiable, sources of "traditional" chinese kung fu training. As I and a few others here have said on many occasions, I really doubt that many people these days train as hard as they used to. The exceptions, surprise surprise, are those who compete and hence in part rely on their fighting for a living. Strange that..... people trained hard in the past because they really did rely on it for living. People who train hard today do it because it is part of their living.....

earth is the asylum of the universe where the inmates have taken over.

don't ask stupid questions and you won't get stupid answers.
