i know these have probably been done to death but lets do another one

what kung fu do you practice and why did you choose Kung Fu over some of the other MA's out there?

[EvilScott]

If its the best school in the area you train it.

Kung Fu emphasizes footwork as the key to power - and it works. There is also so many styles of Kung Fu you can always find a style that you enjoy that also suits you. Like to break people? Try Hung Ga. Interested in going through an opponent's defense without having to muscle him? Wing Chun is for you. Want to develop hands that can seperate muscles and have the ability to double someone over in pain with just your grip? Try Chin Na or Eagle Claw.

I could go on all day - the most important part is that it works, and it cross-trains well with most other arts.

Like EvilScott said, I actually chose a school not an art. I started MA to replace my addiction to spliffs with another, more productive addiction

It was about 6 months into training before I actually learnt the name of the art I was learning. no joke

Well i dont really believe in cross training, cross experience is a different thing tho.
At first when i wanted to start martial arts i was looking for any sort of Kung-Fu for stupid reasons, Kung-Fu just seemd cooler then Karate. evantually i only found one place that teaches wingchun and was in my area, it wasent really impressive and i guess i stuck to it because it was around and it was Kung-Fu. i just walked blindly without even knowing what wingchun is, luckily i found a very good school without even knowing.
as i progressed i actually begun to like it and now i know why i take Wing Chun
Its just much deeper and superior to the other things i've seen. another key factor is my teacher, he is an amazing teacher and i doubt i could find many like him.

i had an amazing teacher as well....if i hadnt been such a stupid kid i would have continued to train with him

As others on this thread have said, it's all about the school. However, Wing Chun is perfect for my body type and personality. I think it's probably just dumb luck that I happened to find an excellent Wing Chun school in my area.

Hey this may sound like a dumb question but does anybody study Drunken Boxing Kung Fu?

[jeetkunedomaster]

i have a friend that studies drunken boxing and shaolin kung fu that i sparr with every friday. he started drunken boxing as a second art but he got really into it and hes pretty good at it. its amazing how he can attack from positions unnatural to the human body. it hurts just watching him practice

http://www.fightauthority.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=440 - there isn't really a drunken boxing style that I know of; it's more like several styles of kung fu have drunken boxing forms.
