Kung Fu What are a few types of kung fu that are good for internal developement?
I want to learn a style of kung fu that is good for internal development. Like Tai Chi or bagua. I know about both of these, but I want to know what types would be best. post any answer, I want lots of suggestions. Also I already take 5 animal 5 element kung fu and I am very small for my age.
The Internal Arts are the ones mentioned and there is also Liu He Ba Fa, Fujian White Crane Fist and from Okinawa they are the arts that derive from Naha Te.
So you study Hung Ga? If so, included is an Internal Form called Tiet Sin Kuen - Iron Wire Fist set.
There is also an art called Yiquan, which is a very powerful Internal style based on Zhan Zhuang - Stance Practice and Push Hands. It is derived from Hsing Yi.

Redneck Kung Fu
How many lessons does it take to defend yourself with kung fu in a fight?
I just want know some knowledge about kung fu and this is one of the question I couldn't find on the web.
Kung Fu, REAL Kung Fu, as the gentleman above me mentioned, takes years to get even barely good. And as the other person above me mentioned, Muay Thai can get you somewhat "street ready" within a few weeks. Having done both, I can honestly say Muay Thai is a lot easier to learn. It focuses on brute strength, meeting the attacker head on, shin on shin, fist on fist, and requires a lot of courage.
Kung Fu on the other hand, requires finesse. It requires a sort of precision and muscle memory and relaxation that can take years to develop. Which doesn't mean it's easier to train for, on the contrary in fact. Basic stances have to be done over and over again. Basic movements and forms have to be repeated to the point of fanaticism. Every part of your body has to be conditioned. And I mean EVERY part: ankles, every knuckle (check out leopard fist: done with a half closed fist), every toe, your forearms and shins, your heels, the balls of your foot, your finger tips (for snake stance stabbing), your wrists, etc. And this isn't even covering the internal part of it: the channeling of qi and the internal strikes.
So is it worth it?
If you want short term power, and immediate gains in your ability to defend yourself, take Muay Thai. It develops courage, and brute strength. It will make you a monster.
But I've always felt that Muay Thai, like boxing in a sense, doesn't cover a lot of different ways of fighting. Just like boxing neglects kicking as a viable way of fighting, Muay Thai does not cover the ways of finger striking, joint manipulation, and ground fighting.
But to get to that stage, will take you many, many years. And if you're not willing to invest in this, forget Kung Fu. But if you do decide to commit, and you do decide to learn Kung Fu, and you do get to the stage of even proficiency, you will make many important parts of other fighting styles completely "obsolete." Boxers will have their legs kicked out. Muay Thai clinches will only put you in range for your advanced snake stance strikes such as finger stabs between the ribs and into the kidney/liver. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighters will get you on the ground, but suddenly find their adam's apple ripped out through tiger claw, their eyes stabbed by snake style, or their wrists and ankles broken through Chin Na.
This a decision you'll have to make on your own. But don't just listen to my own biased view, read the other answers and make this huge decision based on your own choices.
Kung Fu What's the difference between Kung Fu and karate or "ti Kwon do?"?
Just curious because kids in my class today said " I hate in the KARATE kid commercial the guy says I will teach you real KUNG FU" like is there a difference? Or is one for peacefullness and one for fighting or what?
Karate, kung fu, and taekwondo are three different arts from three different countries. A lot of people dislike the upcoming Karate Kid movie because there is no karate in it. Instead, the movie focuses on a kid learning kung fu, while trying to take advantage of the Karate Kid franchise.

How can i find a good kung fu class?
i want to start kung fu and start it seriously. I'm 15 and was wondering how can i be sure a class is good and can it be good if its just once a week in a group. Is there any private lessons, are they better? i would like to train at least 2 times a week.
also how do know if an instructor is good?
Well just google te Kung Fu schools in ur area and visit them and talk with the sifu. Watch out for the schools that use a belt system. Kung Fu doesnt use a belt system. See how long the school has been open for. If theres a Chinatown near u then id checkout the Kung Fu schools there. A good sifu will not let u slack off in class and hell push u to succeed in class. Good luck

What is the least requirement to work as a kung fu trainer?
We know in modern kung fu coloured belts are given.Starts with white & ends with black (the 9th one).Now what could be the least requirement to get a job as a kung fu trainer?Please tell me about the requirements for junior section too
The honest truth is that there are no real requirements to work as a kung fu trainer. There is no real sanctioning board. Anyone with enough money can open a school. Thats why it is important for prospective students to take a really good look at the teacher's credentials and lineage. I you mean working as a kung fu trainer and someone else's school, there is pretty much close to 0% chance of that happening and most schools will look to inside help from their own student body first.

Kung Fu Up Close
The martial art of Kung Fu is an exchange of culture, a type of exercise, and also a way of defending yourself. The art is very popular throughout the world, also being known as Gung Fu, Wu Shu, and even Kuo Shu. It shares some common traits with Karate, such as using both hand and foot techniques. Kung Fu is one of the most popular forms of martial arts - and also one of the oldest.
Within Kung Fu, there are several styles and variances, although the most popular are those that have their roots in the well known Shaolin Temple. What most people are not aware of however, is the fact that Kung Fu was practiced in China years before the first Shaolin temple was even though of.
A majority of martial arts enthusiasts think of self defense as being the ultimate goal of any martial art. While self defense is involved the martial is so much more than just fighting and defense - it is a true art, one that develops the mind, body, and the soul.
Kung Fu doesnt teach students to overcome others, as it teaches students to look within themselves and learn to have complete and total control over their emotions. Is is an art of harmony, that teaches to students to remain at peace and avoid confrontations. If a situation threatens bodily harm to the student, then he must rise to the occasion - becoming the warrior and defending himself.
Just like other types of martial arts, Kung Fun teaches the balance that is crucial for executing techniques and the proper movement. The basic concept behind the balance is that same balance that the Chinese believe keeps the balance between heaven and earth. This concept of balance can be achieved by students if they completely focus their thoughts and empty their minds free from any type of distractions.
Kung Fu is a martial art that can be learned by anyone. It does take a strong desire, just like any other martial art. It has a rich heritage, and a proud legacy. Kung Fu is indeed a deadly martial art, if used in the wrong ways. There are variations of Kung Fu as well, which include the infamous five animals - Tiger, Dragon, Eagle Claw, Crane, and the Snake.
Adapted by the animals in which they are named after, the five animals style is some of the most impressive in martial arts. Tiger Claw is by far the deadliest of the five animals, teaching students to strike just like the dreaded tiger. This style teaches the student power in his hands, so that when he strikes, he tears the flesh. Tiger Claw is very deadly, although it is very hard to find instructors that teach this style now days.
Unlike other martial arts, there really are no competitions for Kung Fu. Stylists can compete it other competitions, although there really are not any that are for only Kung Fu. It is an ancient martial art, that is to be used only in instances were there is no other option than to fight back. When provoked, the stylist should try everything he or she can to avoid confrontations.
Kung Fu aims to teach the lessons of respect, fairness to others, harmony of the spirit, and total self control no matter what. These characteristics, when paired together, allow students to achieve success in a hard to deal with society. Kung Fu is all about developing the students overall well being - and following the straight path to mental and physical toughness.
