monkeygirl Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Let's get this thread back on track: Who studies shaolin kung fu?

larryjf Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 I used to study Shaolin, and i thought is was fantastic. There are so many different styles - north, south, animals, etc. Some Shaolin schools get "spiritual", so it would be a problem for christian,jewish,muslim,etc. to get involved with.
K.O.D Posted March 16, 2003 Posted March 16, 2003 I have learned Shaolin and most of the other styles and it has to be the ultimate style it focuses mind and body if you are thinking of taking classes I suggest you learn Capoeira first, it gives you a lot more control.
SandanPJ Posted March 17, 2003 Posted March 17, 2003 I crossed trained in it for a while, very good stuff in it.
CMA Posted March 17, 2003 Posted March 17, 2003 I take Shaolin kungfu, and I love it. Like larry said in the old schools there was more focus on the spiritual side of it, but I have a christian instructor so we don't go into any of that.
