Jackie Chan kicks.. but BRUCE LEE is THE MAN! No-one can take out Bruce! (Chrouching tiger, hidden dragon KIIIIIIIIIIICKs! But it got good criticism and lots of Oscars based on the wrong things.. if it hadn't been for the fact that Ang Lee made it, it would never have even gotten out of China.) |

Have you seen "revenge of the drunken master" starring Johnny Chan? Very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, I wouldn't mind giving drunken Kung-fu a try as I'm quite flexible, reasonable at moves and conditioning, but crap at learning forms. I've had to give up Dragon Style Kung-Fu due to my stupid university timetable where I miss *both* training sessions as I have lectures till 8pm (20.00 hours). Still, I'm going to take up chinese boxing in Bristol. |

drunken master is like one of the most quintessential kung fu movies of all time. do yourself a favor and check it out. |
||||||||
|

What style do you do, is it Lau gar? I just remember someone here saying that they did it. |
||||||||
|

I only like the real old school movies, specially the master/student thing, the hong kong cops are just ok but the old Jackie Chan cop movies are tha phat really funny the new stuff crap. Bruce´s the man indeed!!!! Nothing beats his power moves and the sounds he made! AYah! Douuuu! |

interested in martial arts, try bruce lee's masterpiece, jeet kun do (i think that's how its spelled) you don't block, you intercept(punch the guy in eyes or face) you knock a guy out in one punch, and you can hit a guy five times before he can even throw one punch. i love martial arts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jeet-kune do. I know! Bruce lee could have taken on the U.S army all by himself! That man was a prodigy! I'm just REALLY happy, 'cause all his films have been digitally remastered for DVD, and all the scenes that were cut out before(almost all the good stuff) are back in!!! WOHOOOOO! meow |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Jeet kun do is actually not thought of *that* highly among those who practive the ancient martial arts... The intercepting fist that JKD is famous for that you described has (like most of the style) been knicked from other styles! A similar move is found in Dragon style Kung-Fu (Made Hundreds of years before JKD). Another Criticism is that JKD whilst being very effective among masters due to its unpredictability (like drunken kung-fu) thanks to the huge variety of moves, take a long time to get good at. Put a person who has done a years Wing Chun or Dragon against a JKD beginner and see the difference. The reason for this is the large number of JKD moves that a beginner has to choose from in any situation often overwhelms them and they hesitate. Whereas a Dragon Style student would only have 2/3 move that would be appropriate and would strike first. Another criticism is that not enough appropriate conditioning is done in JKD as it takes moves from many styles without all the relevant conditioning required to a) Do the move to the full effectiveness b) Avoid injury c) Prevent ageing Not dissing you or your opinion, but just out of interest do you do any martial arts ZombieKev? Bruce Lee was great and his style is certainly very good for him, but I'm unconvinced in it's effectiveness as a style for your average Joe. |

Bruce stole it all from Kung-Fu, he just removed the styles. He thought that if you could become more like water(not having to change into one style before performing the move, and then to another to perform another move, but to do them all in one style) Secondly: Bruce AIMED at injuring people.. he got kinda pissed at the other martial arts -people for not wanting to teach other people than asians Kung-Fu(YOU couldn't be practicing Kung-Fu right now if it hadn't been for Bruce). They set up a fight, which bruce won. As he was leaving, the other guy got up and broke his back. Bruce got the "Won't be able to walk again" -prediction from the doctors, but trained his muscles back up to FULL capacity, and developed Jeet-Kune do. meow |

I agree with the changing between styles mid fight to be a waste of time (bad example I know but see Lei in Tekken 3) I learnt a bit of Snake, Tiger and Wing-Chun and quite often we would use movements from one in another form without changing stance. I agree about lots of people using it as a tool to hurt people, my style is what is use by the majority of Hong Kong Triads. It is certainly effect, I've caused internal bleeding to someone (by accident) when using it. As to Bruce getting Kung-fu taught to westerners, he certainly sped it up, but I believe it would have happened anyway. If you recall, Kung-fu initally was never taught outside the temples and it was one monk (I forget his name) that changed this by teaching a tailor and his son. My Master a caucasian male went to China in his 20's (before Bruce Lee was famous) and trained as a herbalist and then in Dragon Kung-Fu. He then returned along with our Sifu who set up the first club in Wales. I've had the honour of being trained once by Sifu (a Chinese Man) and he was one of the first people to take Kung-Fu out of China to Britain. I think he would have done it even if Bruce hadn't made the first move. What Bruce Lee did was popularise it with a western audience. |

Why did the asians break his back then, eh? They didn't want it taugt to outsiders. He taught it to anyone. BTW.. the coolest aspect of Kung-Fu(methinks), is PRESSURE POINTS!! meow |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you study? If so what style? Do you do soft work as well as hard and do you do any Chi healing? Pressure points are cool, but my master (who works as chinese herbalist/physician) reckons *some* of the pressure points are crap. The stomach ones located on the traps (dips in front of shoulders) are cool as you can make it look as though you're just holding someone at arms length then they fold up. Pressure points are good if you get attacked as bystanders will not say you "hit" the attacker meaning you're less likely to go to court. Have you ever used a kubotan (not sure of the spelling)? Very good pressure point based weapon and discrete enough to be carried on a keyring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's no to the Kubotan, at least. eh.. about the pressures that are crap.. probably the ones connected to "vibrating palm" (a triad deat-touch(or so it is rumored)(some people think Bruce got killed by one of these, 'cause the triads were pissed at him(he kicked some of them sometime))) |

Nah, Chris just knows I've been playing SFEX2 tonight :) There's lots of misinformation about death moves, intentioanlly to protect each styles secrets. The black forms tend not to be taught to novices and are quite hard to perform (so I'm told). Fun Kung fu fact: There's a bloke who does Mantis style Kung-fu in one of the London fish markets who can punch through wooden pallletes with 2 fingers! |

Hah! That's nothing. Some monk in China spends all day crunching rocks using Tiger. He does it as penance(is that spelled right? t' is supposed to mean punishment) for disgracing his monastery.. we need more honour in this world. meow |

But, I gotta go kick some kitten ass!(t' time is 00:29 here) meow to all of you Kung-Fu fans out there! Kung-Fu!!!!!!!!!! meow |

i take martial arts, and am at the level where reading this is kinda funny. I'm not puting anyone down, I'm just saying that I used to have these same curiosities/ambitions. Nowadays, whenever i watch a kung-fu flick...I'm so critical on the techniques/stances/etc. that i lose some of enjoyment, it's like i'm judging demos. Kiss of the dragon is a good example...those taekwondo germans....and that little "i'm going to power up before i do my jump 540 hook" arm raise/tense fist thing was WAY to chessy. if your curious as to the martial art, it's being restructured and renamed, it used to mean complete warrior arts (jungaye Moosul), but now since we're adding more soft-style techniques (mostly from yang-style tai chi chuan, bakwa, and xingyi) the name is going to mean something like xhing moo do (scholarly arts)... |
