BlackTiger Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 LOCATE A SIFU THAT TEACHES TRADIONAL KUNG FU - A SIFU THAT TEACHES KUNG FU ONLY. IT TAKES A FEW YEARS TO LEARN THE TIGER PROPERLY. IT TAKES A FEW YEARS TO DEVELOP THE HORSE, AND CAT STANCES, AND THE FINGERS, PALM, HANDS, ETC TO BE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO USE.VIDEOS WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO " DANCE".IF YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL SOME DISTANCE, DO IT, GO ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH, TRAIN DAILY, GET A FRIEND TO TRAIN WITH. MAKE A PUNCHING BAG OF YOUR OWN, THEIR CHEAP AND BETTER THAN THESE EXPENSIVE MODERN DAY CUSTOM LEATHER BAGS. HOW DO YOU MAKE A BAG ? GO TO AN ARMY SURPLUS STORE, BUY SOME OLD CANVAS, TAKE IT TO A SHOE STORE, OR UPHOLSTERY SHOP, HAVE IT CUT 10 INCHES ROUND AND 4 FEET LONG AND LEAVE ONE END OPEN. FILL IT WITH RIVER SAND 80 LBS. AND HANG IT. IF NO ONE AROUND YOUR NEAR VICINITY TEACHES THIS WAY OR QUALIFIES, IN TIME YOU CAN.
Traymond Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 In my case their is only one martial arts school in a total of 150 miles in any direction...I love martial arts but i am not going to travel almost three hours to learn an art, with these gas prices...

JusticeZero Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Keep your eyes peeled; there are schools in much smaller places than you think. The town of about 3000 that I grew up in has about half a dozen martial art schools, none of which are in the yellow pages. Check bulletin boards and any yoga type places around.

Traymond Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I am surrounded by towns of populations under 1000 (Some greatly under 1000). My town that I live in has only 500 population. Their is my school, an affiliates school, and my students school three towns over...thats all. The last martial arts instructor that was here he got ran out of town...

wingedMonkey Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 So I guess I continued my studies in tiger kung fu on my own, I did a lot of research on where tiger kung fu originated and how the black tiger fist is connected to the shaolin version. It is really interesting things that I found out, I haven't cited all the places i got my information on but that's because most chinese stuff was passed orally or is in chinese. The good thing though is that several different sources agree with each other. I think I will make another topic post about tiger kung fu history.
