Goose Posted July 16, 2001 Posted July 16, 2001 It just seemed weird mixing a so-called 'soft style' with a 'hard style'. Dunno, maybe it's me Goose6th Kyu Shotokan Karate9th Kyu Okinawan KobudoKarate International Black Belt Schools (UK)
Taesujutsudrw Posted July 17, 2001 Posted July 17, 2001 Hi Goose, That is not unsual. Tae Su jutsu is Wing Chun, Tae Kwon Do, Tang Soo Do, and American freestyle..mixed. I have seen it spelt that way also. And some have spelled it Wing Tsun. Go figure. Peace, tae Kyoshi Deborah R.

GoldDragon Posted September 20, 2001 Posted September 20, 2001 Two kung-fu masters were carrying on about their respective skills. "Why, my reflexes are such that you will not believe," boasted Master Foo and drawing his sword, he sliced at a passing fly, which promptly dropped dead in two pieces. "That's nothing," said Master Koh. Drawing his sword, he made two deft cuts at another passing fly. Master Foo was highly amused. "What are you talking about?" he sneered. "That fly is still flying." "Ah yes," replied Master Koh, "but now it can never have children (lol, ok sowwy ) There are many types of Kung Fu and yet so much to learn. As you know Kung Fu consists of different animals -- Snake, Dragon, Crane, Monkey, Leopard, Eagle, Mantis. There are many styles that are a mix of Kung Fu as well. Hung Gar Kung Fu Drunken Monkey Shaolin Kung Fu Shaolin ch'uan Fa and many more..

Pangamut Posted September 24, 2001 Posted September 24, 2001 The different spellings of a style's name can also indicate branches within a style. Wing Tsun, for instance, is the spelling preferred by the organization headed by Dr. Leung Ting. Others use Wing Chun, Ving Tsun, or Yongchun Quan, it depends on the lineage of the instructor.

Pangamut Posted September 24, 2001 Posted September 24, 2001 That's an interesting list of styles. From my limited experience I would like to add that: Chin Na is a term referring to the joint locking techniques found within a Chinese system. It is generally not regarded as a "style." Certain arts use more of these techniques than others. Eagle Claw boxing (Yingzhao Quan) and some forms of Crane boxing (He Quan) are famous for their use of Chin Na. Dim Mak can also be part of Chin Na technique training. There are several Northern & Southern Mantis styles. Northern Mantis is also referred to as Tong Long or Seven Star Mantis. Can also be Plum Blossom, 8 Step, etc, etc. There are several "Monkey" styles: Hou Quan - Monkey Fist Tai Shing Pek Kwar- Monkey style mixed with Shaolin Pek Kwar. There are several "Tiger" styles: Fu Jow - Tiger Claw He Hu Quan - Black Tiger Fist Bak Fu Pai - White Tiger
Aikidoka Posted September 26, 2001 Posted September 26, 2001 Good input, it's great when people can come together to broaden each other's knowledge.

Slim Posted October 6, 2001 Posted October 6, 2001 Ive seen mention of San Shou, from what I gather it is a Kung Fu style. What would I expect from learning this? The thing I most want to do is spar under some good teachers, I currently do Muay Thai. How would that and San Shou go together for cross training? Are there any/many forms in San Shou?
