thats interesting.  I didnt know chinese martial arts had their
origin in india.

Thanks :)

Hello all respected Kung Fu practitioners.
I am new here and look forward to a good forum.
I practice Chow Gar and also two indian arts: Gatka (Sikhs art) and
Kalaripayatt (Hindu art from South India).

Kalaripayatt is thought to be the mother of all martial arts, dating
back to Vedic times about 8000 years ago at least. Then buddhist
monks like Boddhidharma (an indian) migrated outside of india and
spread his knowledge which in time became most of oriental arts known
today, as well as traders from all over orient traveled to India and
adapted the martial knowledge there as they went back to their homes
and cultures!

I am a martial artist, yogi and drummer.

Take care!

That's a good question.  It may depend on the individual.

Even if you die, is it important?

My friend got in a fight and used kung fu to defend himself and defeat the 3 men
attacking him.  All 3 were quite drunk so it wasn't that difficult but it was
good practice.

Yes, you're right. Kung Fu is the same.

Yes, there is a cause for everything, a long line of causes leading to the
present conditions.

Everything has a cause/causes.

Weak is the law.  <br><br>Bring back the good ol' days when errant scallywags
got transported to sunnier climes, I say.

Punishment is weak and kids that need a good betting no longer get it. If a kid
mugs you and you beat them up you are more likely to go to jail. The law is
weak.......

Maybe we can use Golden Cockeral to wipe out Bad Star Action.<br><br>Long live
the King!

It will not be long before some vigilante whips
out a couple of criminals as a warning. <br><br>two
people I know have recently been mugged in London - one
by a gang of asian youths who stood around him as he
lay on the floor, kicking him in the head, shouting
'you stupid old white bastard!' <br><br>The other was
hit in the face with a wooden bat by a 15y/o kid!
<br><br>I think that vigilane idea is not bad at all!!!

Yes with good feng shui and minimalising bad star action you reduce your
exposure to trouble.

Violent crime is going through the roof at the
moment, I do not know about kung fu but maybe spiritual
protection combined with kung fu is the best way to stay out
of trouble. Staying alerrt and having spiritual
protection is an important combination when dealing with
psychos with guns.<br><br>It will not be long before some
vigilante whips out a couple of criminals as a warning.

So true, so many martial arts people are mentally
lacking and only trying to make up in there martial arts
through what they are missing. Martial arts people should
all undergo some kind of mental training before they
clench their fists. If you cannot control your mind how
can you control your body?

I agree with you, kung fu is not only limited to physical training. The mental
side is the most important.

Looks like the world has temporarily calmed down,
but how long before suicidal terrorists hell bent on
destruction do some serious damage? Islamic fundamentalism
and the innate evil within Islam has had a very
positive effect in awakening people to the temporal state
of life and the importance of cultivating body,
spirit and mind. Without evil people we would be lazy
about improving themselves, so we should thank the evil
moslems for making people more aware. Kung fu is a very
important part of this, strenghtening and disiplining the
mind. Moslems cannot do this and have a flawed pschotic
nature, always trying to control what can never be
controlled, which is why in the end they will be defeated and
destroyed, largely through their own ignorance and lack of
mental training. <br><br>We must therefore train as
often as possible to defeat this evil within and
outside ourselves sooner rather than later.

I do pushing hands. It makes my mind more natural
and receptive to change. I can feel every little move
and I know which way the energy is going. When I
know, I can put my opponent off balance and defeat him.
Then I will always win.

Not him again? I thought we were rid of that guy!

Hi, Steven you shall tell us your froms!

I just posted this on the other board...<br><br>I
explained earlier in a previous post about the lack of real
conversation on the subject of kung fu...it seems that no one
can answer other than i like guns, guns are good. Do
you people do kung fu if so why dont you try to share
something of interest with everyone and tell us about your
style. That way other people can contribute with
constructive comments not sentences that contain no more than
4 syllables. I thought this was a place to discuss
kung fu?.<br><br>It seems that anyone who tries to
post something of any interest people just respond
with mundane answers...great wonder all you said you
do Tai Chi, I have done Tai Chi for about 3 years
tell us about it. I have noticed several similarities
to Southern mantis some of the forms even have the
same moves (fut sau has golden cockrel stands on one
leg, found in many styles of Tai Chi), do you do
pushing hands? or sensitivity training tell us what you
have learnt, now I have started the conversation lets
start an interesting conversation people...

The better your feng shui the more peaceful your mind, with a peaceful mind it
is easier to perfect your mantis.

Kung Fu & Feng Shui? Yes, In many ways, Kung Fu
is not the only answer! First, You can not fight
your Luck. Second, you can not break the cruise. You
can not change your wife's mind if she want to
divorce you. Feng Shui can help to improve your
life.<br><br>This year Master Wong is publishing a monthly Chinese
Calender together with his 112 page book. Both are

environment and put yourself in the best position for success
in 2002.<br>The book has the following

maximise good feng shui and minimise damage<br>- monthly
