[BLACK PANTA]

Here's the thread y'all. The first of what I hope to be many. This thread is to share, discuss, ask questions about all the Chinese Martial Arts/Styles. First I would like to start off by listing all the Chinese MA/styles we can name. Now if any questions arise, please feel free to ask and I am sure that one of us (if not all of us) will be more than willing to answer.

Now me, being a Kung Fu practitioner I know some of the Kung Fu Styles.

Now lets see what my brain can mustre.

Kung Fu: Shaolin; Wing Chun, Ba Gua, Tai Chi, Black Dragon, White Tiger, Mantis, Eagle, Choy lee fut, White Crane, Lohan, Monkey, Drunken.

This all I can mustre up at this time, I am bombarded by distraction right now, the sweet sweet television. please add on you all. And dont forget to ask questions or descriptions.

there is also Cha Chuan (cha quan) and Wushu. Where did you hear about Dog Fist Monkey? Can you elaborate?

[8LimbsScientist]

Dog Fist is a style of Kung Fu that emphasizes ground fighting. Not Gracie-type groundfighting of course.

Thanks Monkey, you wouldn't be able to find a link with some techniques would you?

[BLACK PANTA]

oh monkey I found a site on google about dog fist, this is part of the Shaolin 5 animal system. I am learning this type of ground fighting in my training. Thank for the info BTW. It is very unlike BJJ and Gracie JJ ground fightning.

is Cha Chuang, Chang Chuan? Traditionall Martial Kung Fu, although not very much breathing excercises.. Although at my school we breath before every excercise and start the class by standing in horse-stance duing three of Hung Gar's 'Twelve Bridges'. So I'm not much for jogging around that much. Although there's still good practice in that. Dont get me wrong.

High stances, long movements and so on, Argh. Wish I could remember the link to the site.. Or which temple they were said to have come from..


Well, You could add Choy Gar and Lau Gar, Although we've got the main three Lau sets in Hung Gar, But there are independent Lau styles in England and Scotland if I'm not misstaken..
