I'm sure this has been done before, but... whooie!

So, what Chinese martial arts do you all practice? (If you practice more than one, just choose the one you like the most.)

"Butoryu" Is an Okinawan term meaning "Warrior Scholar Way". The equivalent in Chinese/Taiwanese is "Wuyangkuan. The art we teach is Chinese Paihequan (Crane-Fist Stle).

[FistofLegend]

I have trained in wing chun 3 years and some shaolin 1 year

I have done a little training in some other chinese arts but not hard in depth training

[tamojin]

I practice 7 star praying mantis - Is it hard to study multiple styles at once?

[tenki ketsui]

I do Wing Chun. :D

[Arde]

I've done Baji for a few years although never under formal training. I only know the basic training exercises -punches, movements, stances.

So Baji becomes my definitive style - the basics of my wushu I guess, however since I'm lacking in techniques to complement the basics, I study American Chinese Kenpo Karate to increase my general awareness and technical knowledge.

[Jeff Burger]

I suppose I should post on this thread.

My main CMA is Nam Kune Bok Tui it means Sothern Fist Northern Leg.
Like the name sounds its a mix with influence from Choy Lay Fut, Wing Chun, Tam Tui, Shuai Chiao, Tai Chi and Xing Yi.

I also do Praying Mantis and Tai Chi (Yang and Chen and Wudan sword)

I have also done some Choy Lay Fut, Wing Chun, Tsenho and some modern (Nan Chuan, Chang Chuan).

Weapons...
staff, spear, straight, sword, broadsword, bench, whip chain, rope dart, fan, 3 sectional...a bit of double broadsword and broadsword and shield.

[fightgrrl]

welcome to budoseek Arde, i believe you have already been asked to include your real name on all posts. The easiest way to do this as a no-brainer is to go to user cp and put it in your signature.

[yentao]

I studied Nan Quan the Five Ancestor Fist to specify.

I study southern praying mantis and Yang style Tai Chi so I would not say that it is overly difficult managing the two. The praying mantis is my primary focus though. Our particular style has ellements of Tai chi added. Which style of tai chi is a mystery to me. If it is drawn from the Yang style it has been modified somewhat.

[sean_stonehart]

Hmmm... this one slipped by...

Hung Sing Choy Lee Fut

[Auramaster]

I wish I could do them all.

Right now its Yang and Wu Taiji, and Jeet Kune Do
I'd love to do Bagua if it was around.

[gveest]

I also study 7 star mantis. My son does as well and also continues his study in TKD. He finds it difficult sometimes to keep the two separated, especially in TKD sparring. His TKD teacher does not appreciate it when my son uses a mantis technique.

Mr. Donato, please refer to rule # 6.


6. Keep it clean. Hateful, racist or slanderous comments and messages about other persons, fellow members or others Martial Arts will NOT be permitted. You may voice your opinion, but again keep it clean. "Flaming" (the trashing of anothers post) will not be permitted.

It simply is not right, and only shows that you do not have a valid counter-argument.

[masterintraining]

i love my kung-fu training, for many reasons, one of my favorite things about it is because it is a animal style of kungfu which is why i like it so much ecasue i just have always lked animal styles, i just always liked the concept of obseving animas behave like animals and be able to make a suffecient form of self-defence. so thats y i give my answer.

PEACE :karate: :bow:

[Dennis Monk]

Is it really so hard to actually put the "W" and the "H" together, along with the "Y"?

[Yang Wei Xin]

bsides, hes busy OBSEVING ANIMAS ECASUE he likes them and wants to have SUFFECIENT self defence.

Legitimate question, not trying to clown you. I don't get it what is a Christian Style or it's definition. :confused:
