Since it%26#039;s a long way, deals with conditioning and has do do with fighting (not only, but it does), then I am being very careful.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />What should I look for? What should I avoid? What are the dangers?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />For example, what does a good academy look like? How important the %26quot;lineage%26quot; is? What to expect from an academy that says they have sparring classes? What about those that don%26#039;t? Also, how important and how dangerous is Chi Kung, as used in Kung Fu?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I live in Brazil (in S茫o Paulo), and although I did look at some academies ehre, I feel like I just can%26#039;t tell who%26#039;s who, and which instructors are serious and which are not. There are even some who learn from one master, then change to another, and well, this is kind of confusing. I also see masters criticizing one another (even if in a subtle way), but I suppose this is %26quot;normal%26quot;.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />(See, I don%26#039;t really care about the %26quot;style%26quot;. I am mostly concerned with authenticity and safety.)|||china|||Any Martial Art you study will have a degree of danger to it, the injury factor will always be there, especially if you don%26#039;t perform the techniques you%26#039;ll learn properly.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />A good Martial Arts school should have a clean and friendly atmosphere. and instructors that want to help you to become the best Martial Artist you can be. and they shouldn%26#039;t hassle you about contracts and such.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />There isn%26#039;t a %26quot;Best fit%26quot; type of Martial Art for people with a certain height, weight, body type, or personality, etc. Nor is there a such thing as a %26quot;best Martial Art%26quot; because they all have their own strengths and weaknesses<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Any Martial Art you study is going to help you learn better balance, better coordination, speed in your technique, and power in your techniques; but these are attributes that are products of GOOD and PROPER training.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />all you need to do dude is find out what schools are available to you, and choose at least three that interest you the most, watch a couple of their classes to see if you want to take up some trial classes (up to a weeks worth without being hassled to sign a contract).<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If you like the school, then enroll in it. Any Martial Art is going to show you how to utilize your body by learning self defense.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You just need to find a Martial Arts School that will provide a safe environment for you and your parents agree on it. You are right about studying a particular discipline. because it DOESN%26#039;T MATTER because there is NO discipline that is better than another.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />What matters is that you feel comfortable (and like the classes) in the classes and you feel comfortable that the instructor can properly teach you self defense and not have the %26quot;smoke and mirrors%26quot; aspect. and that the instructor likes to do it more for the teaching aspect rather than the %26quot;making money%26quot; which it is a business to make money but it should not be the only reason for teaching the discipline.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />just watch out for school%26#039;s that%26#039;re a %26quot;McDojo%26#039;s%26quot; or %26quot;belt factory%26quot; type of school. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />these schools usually do a lot of boasting about how soon their students make their 1st degree black belts (like having several %26quot;young black belts%26quot; that%26#039;re usually 9 or 10 yr old kids, which should be a rare thing to see unless the child started learning the discipline when they were 4 yrs old), and often boast about students making their black belts in about a year鈥檚 time (which it should be up to 5 years or better) which often means that they have a high student turnout rate.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />They%26#039;ll also often try to get you to commit to a contract, usually one that%26#039;s 6 months long or more or try to get you to pay down a large sum of money for that kind of time period. which is a BIG red flag<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />These schools will also brag about how many tournaments their students have entered and placed in or won a trophy. While Tournaments are good to go to and test your own skills as a point sparring contestant, but competitions are the LEAST important aspect to concern yourself with in Martial Arts.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Long story short, these schools will basically %26quot;give%26quot; you your belt ranks every few months as long as you are paying the outrageous fees per month, and you won%26#039;t really learn self defense.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />there%26#039;s always going to be schools that think their Martial Art is the best, but that%26#039;s been going on for hundreds of years and it%26#039;s no different today. Unfortunately it will continue, until these people realize the discipline they study isn%26#039;t better than any other.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />%26quot;lineage%26quot; shouldn%26#039;t be a big concern unless the instructors can%26#039;t tell you about the history of the discipline and who they learned it from or what affiliation the school has with a national organization.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Sparring should be a basic and integral part of your training, because it should help you with your timing and use of the techniques you learn.|||Be very interested in the style you will be studying. Identify which lineage it is from and read about it. If you do find this school has reference to the lineage, and you want to study, check out a class. Then talk to the Sifu.

Many years ago, I studied a Korean Style of Shaolin Kung Fu, a five-animal style called Shipagi. One of the animals was the dragon. My friend was the teacher, and unfortunately I have long since lost contact with him. I later learned from a Hung Gar teacher (Master Wu, in Northampton, MA) that the style did originate in northern China. I wish I could tell you more. But don%26#039;t give up. It has to be out there somewhere.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Good Luck and Peace.<br><br /><br />VT|||No but there is a Harvey Moy%26#039;s Ninjutsu nearby.|||No, not a dragon style.<br><br /><br />There are dragon forms.<br><br /><br />I study Mi Zhong Lohan(Lost Track Buddha Palm) under Grand Master Johnny Lee here in Dallas. I learned a dragon form. 168 postures long, 5th degree form. Its called %26quot;Plum Flower coiling dragon double sabre%26quot;<br><br /><br />Now, if this is really dragon style, outwardly it would be hard to see, but when you are spinning and when you are slicing you always bring the broadsword to the inside so that way you have continuous attack and no holes or openings. Like the tazmanian devil. So, it has a dragon coiling action, but outward posture wise? eehhhh... the spin moving is the most dragon like thing. <br><br /><br />I have seen some other forms with %26quot;dragon%26quot; attached to them, I wouldnt call them an entire style though. There is NO complete dragon style in the Northern System. How many other dragon forms Grandmaster knows... who knows... Im not privy to that. I know there are more though... If there is, its like Norther Eagle claw or seven star mantis, butchered Lohan style kung fu.<br><br /><br />They have the same forms as Lohan, but they have been shortened from the Maximum possible extension that allows for training in all attack methods. Its funny, Lohan people know pretty much all of those other styles if they enlighten themselves enough. They were invented from the other. <br><br /><br />I havnt seen one, or been told about a complete system, if it existed, its an offshoot of Lohan. <br><br /><br />There are forms that are named %26quot;dragon something%26quot;<br><br /><br />... thats all I am aware of...<br><br /><br />im hoping to learn more.|||I HAVE NO LIVING IDEA, BUT WHY FIGURE OUT THE ORIGINS OF OTHER MARTIAL ARTS STYLES WHEN IT IS OBVIOUS THAT MINE IS THE BEST.ZOEYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13090894011587488371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085044647715186361.post-48038170442150225172011-11-18T03:27:00.000-08:002011-11-18T03:27:04.209-08:00I have to give a persuasive speech and i want to tie it into Kung Fu somehow but my teacher is very picky.?Can you give me some ideas?
