I was until very recently doing Dragon Style Kung-fu. My university decided to put lectures till 8.00pm on both nights I do kung-fu. I could go to Wing-Chun on wednesday, but I've tried that and don't think it's as good. There wasn't a grading system (never has been for Dragon style) until last year and for various reasons I missed the one grading my club did. I'd describe myself as one stage up from beginner. The main techniques invlove punching, counter-attacks and moving in a way that is dis-orientating for the opponent. I'll probably take up a new martial art in July and come back to Dragon kung-fu in my final year here. Nacmat: Since learning martial art forms, my ability to pick up pick up dance routines has improved, if you're good at flamenco, I expect you'd learn the forms of a martial art quite quickly. My kung-fu syllabus includes Lion dancing (think of those Chinese dragons at Chinese new year), but I haven't done any yet. |

Cool man I study Lau Gar style Kung Fu. Being a Southern Chinese style of Kung fu, it's mainly hand techniques. Many Punches, kicks, blocks with counter attacks, set movements, walking techniques, sticking hands, knife defences, stick attacks and hardly any sparing. It's all about balance and weight distribution, speed and quantity over strength and it uses many animal forms such as leapord punches, dragon punches (not Ryu!), horse stances, snake forms and tiger claws. Grades from none, white, blue, orange, green, yellow, purple, brown then Black. After black is a whole world of options. I've been studying for 4 & 1/2 years now and I'm only up to Green. It's a tough martial Art and has a high drop out rate. People who have studied other arts cant stand the constant practising and refining of techniques and always want to fight and spar. They dont last long.... It's great fun and I really want to teach it some day! Anyone else? |

i like southern kung fu styles, but because i'm so tall and have long legs, i'd be really great at a northern one. i really like jeet kune do. there's no classes around here for it. i get books from the library and read up on it alot though. |

Aikido and Aikijujitsu,. Since I was 20, now 28. The system I have been studying for Aikido and Aikijujitsu is traditional form from Hombu Dojo (The founder - Morehei Ueshiba created it). I am currently Sankyu (3rd level of 12). This is a life long martial art, so it takes a very long time to attain higher levels. Locks, throws, pins, and other forms of grappling are involved. Considered a soft-internal martial art. The manipulation of Ki (your own and your opponents) is central. It is reffered to as the Art of Peace - Way of Harmony. |

I used to do Lau Gar Kung Fu and got a Yellow sash. But I gave up because it didn't stop me getting beaten up, it just made it more soul destroying knowing I had gone to classes for five years. |
