Kfcharlie Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 hey every one, this is only my second time posting here and i was wondering if some one could fill me in a little. it seems like a lot of people here are very knowledgable? of the chinese arts and i, well, am not. i know that the northern kung fu styles are more of kickers than the southern styles (I think) and that almost all martial arts sprang form the shoalin martial arts that were brought to china from india by buddha. other than that all, or the majority, of my knowledge lies in korean and japanese martial arts. i was hoping that all of you culd fill me in on your infinite knowledge of martial arts. Jacob
Kensai Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 Infinite knowledge. Yep thats me. Depends what you want, is it more information on techniques or historys? Or a little of both?
Kfcharlie Posted January 16, 2003 Author Posted January 16, 2003 A little of both would be great! i know the history of wng tsun, but i would like to know the differences between the animal forms and what body types each form is suited best for and just some general stuff like that. Jacob
jmd161 Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 Well i'll try and help you out a little. Kfcharlie, The animal styles are not just body types.The idea is also to take on the spirit of the animal.The Tiger is powerful and ferciousThe Crane is graceful and evasive,The Snake is fast and does'nt waste movement.That's just a brief description of some animals. People try to match body types to animals ,and say what's best for you.The only person that knows what's best for you is........... Let me see now ......... Who is the best person to know what fits you??? " Ohhh that's right it's you " http://www.dragonslist.com/discussion/images/smilies/deal.gif I was told i was too big for my animal style ,but now i've become 1 of 2 ppl chosen by my sifu/teacher to pass on the style.If you want some info on my style? Here's the link to a post i made here about my style. http://www.karateforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=5429 jmdhttp://www.geocities.com/jmd161/img0007a.gif The Basics Are The Hidden Secret To Kung Fu Master The Basics.
