i wanna do martial arts and i don't know between aikido or kung fu i like the aikido locks and all but kung fu look amazing when u master it iv already done hapkido but i got more interested in kung fu and aikido
im pretty fast 5'5 in 8th grade and pretty flexible but not as much as i was when i did hapkido
personally I like aikido more. kung fu is a very famous striking style that is known for blending one thing into the next continually moving and striking. it's supposed to have almost every possible stand up move (that part in my opinion). but what i'm learning about aikido is that everything blends from one thing to the next. there aren't any stiff movements and if you don't get one thing you move onto the next. but everything flows and is very circular. I think of aikido like kung fu to be a very devastating style that just happens to look pretty to the outside eye. when you look at aikido on youtube and you see the people flying around it looks flashy and fake. but the reason they move like that is if they didn't their joints would break and that would be the end of the fight. they also have a rap for being overly choreographed but the training goes from the grab where everything is slow and controlled to a strike where everything is fast and dangerous, (only for higher ranks). also kung fu is a very broad term referring to many styles. but kung fu does have it's points, it's still around because it is an effective style when done right. it's not about being bulky and more about being well rounded in all areas of fitness and fighting. both styles have merit even though many people will deny it. (I like UFC and MMA but it has bread some narrow close mindedness) I have done tang soo do (like tae kwon do), shotokan (like karate), tae kwon do, wing chun (kung fu), and now aikido and I plan on staying with it forever. I'm not going to lose my strikes but I am going to implement it in what i'm now doing.

Superb unrehearsed demonstration of Kung Fu training
Kung Fu Qi-Power and How To Get It!
'What is Kung Fu Qi-Power?' ' How does it work?' and 'How can it be readily obtained?' This article provides straightforward answers to these questions plus practical guidance for those wishing to learn more or start practicing the classic routines, drills and methods enabling Qi-Power acquisition.
'Qi' (vital energy) is trained, harnessed and strengthened, via Qigong ('gong' means 'strong') literally 'strong-qi' exercise. Two basic categories, Internal and External, exist and balancing these brings optimum results in Shaolin Kung Fu training. External physical development comes first but internal energy (Qi) training is then essential to balanced progress.
Nei Dan (internal) Qigong refreshes brain and bone marrow, strengthens the five major organs (lungs, kidneys, liver heart and spleen) and builds internal muscle closer to the body's core. Whilst the West has neglected internal energy training, Chinese Martial Arts have developed tremendous expertise here. Health improvements, increased endurance and general body-strength gains are typical progress-indicators.
'Qi' ('life-energy) and breath go together-- we can live 30 days without food, 7 without water but not 10 minutes without air. Structured breathing, central to internal Qigong, is frequently practised alongside exercise patterns designed to store, balance and distribute Qi to meet your bodily needs (and aid stale Qi elimination). Ideally, a qualified Teacher should guide your training but individual progress is possible via traditional routines designed to enable this safely, like these two classic examples.
Yeuh Fei's 'Ba Duan Jin'.
In The Song Dynasty (1127-1279 CE) Chinese General Yeuh Fei, to repel an invading Nomad army, taught his troops Ba Duan Jin/ Eight Section Brocade in preparation for the conflict. This increased general strength and endurance and arm strength in particular even at full extension, greatly enhancing hand-to-hand combat and weapon skills. Yeuh Fei is also accredited as founder of Eagle-Claw and Xin-Yi Kung Fu styles and this eight-exercise routine is also widely practised by students of Changchuan or 'Longfist' Kung Fu.
Bodhidharma's 'Yi Yin Jing'
On arriving at the Shaolin Temple in Songshan (526 CE) the First Patriarch of Chan Buddhism set about improving the strength and physique of the Monks via, amongst other things, this twelve-excercise routine also known as the 'Muscle and Tendon Changing Classic''. This considerably improved the Monks' flexibility and overall health, leading to dramatic advances in their martial capabilities when integrated into their Martial Arts training.
These two are well-known, tried and tested routines delivering Qi-Power to serious practitioners, but there are more: 'Wu Qin Qi'/ '5 Animals Play (1)', 'Liu Zi Jue'/ 'Six Sounds Breathing' and '5 Elements Breathing' , for example. Each approach is different (although overall aims are similar) reflecting China's long history, diversity and the influences of Buddhism/ Taoism respectively.
Fortunately, free internet-based materials exist to get those interested underway. Some well-made DVDs for home practice are also available. However, the best way to acquire Qi-Power is to sign-up for lessons at your local Kung Fu Club as Qigong is a vital, indispensible part of authentic Kung-Fu training frequently included 'free' in training programmes as a regular feature of Shaolin training in particular.
Peter Allsop M.Ed. publishes 'Red Dragon Martial Arts Ezine'. Longevity Training, Iron Shirt, 5 Elements Qigong, Daoism, Chinese metaphysics and Astrology feature among his interests alongside gem and crystal Feng Shui. Senior Student of GrandmasterYap Leong, Peter teaches Shaolin Kung Fu and Qigong in Yorkshire and Derbyshire U. K. as Shaolin Fists International Area Instructor for the region.

Kung Fu Training Suggestions for cross training in kung fu/martial arts?
I started kung fu (northern mantis) in July and LOVE it. About two months ago, I started sparring and find myself getting very exhausted very quickly. I have been a runner for years and continue to keep up with it, but from feeling exhausted after even a minute of sparring, I see that my fitness is lacking. What sorts of exercise/activities do you recommend for increasing endurance/reducing how quickly a person becomes tired during sparring? Or what sorts of exercise is complimentary to martial arts in general? (weight lifting, push ups, etc.)
Sparring is a different sort of conditioning than running. Running is more aerobic while sparring is more anaerobic. I'd recommend looking into plyometric exercises, which includes a lot of jumping. Mix it in with body-weight exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups, unweighted squats, and so forth. Or, while you're running, add some sprints in. That will also help. You might also take up skipping rope. Part of your exhaustion from sparring is also likely because you're tensing up. Although I haven't seen you spar, I notice it happens a lot in beginners. If you tense up, you burn oxygen uselessly. Try to stay relaxed and see it as a game.

Shaolin Iron Skill Kung Fu : Leg Training for Iron Body Kung Fu
Shaolin Kung Fu Exercises Which Promotes Agile Footwork And Intricate Hand Techniques.
When many people think of Shaolin Kung Fu they think of meditation and chi. While it is true that Shaolin Kung Fu does stress meditation and the use of inner energy, it is actually an external form of Chinese martial arts. This means that it is more involved in the external powers and forces. There are many styles of Shaolin Kung Fu which can include many types of attacks and defenses including joint locks, punching, kicking, throws, straight blocking, force direction, and many more. However, the two things that most types of schools of Shaolin Kung Fu all stress is fast handwork and quick footwork. Many Shaolin Kung Fu exercises promote these skills.
When practicing Shaolin Kung Fu, striking it is important to keep the feet moving as you punch. If your feet are planted like roots you will not be able to adjust to the next attack or set up another attack. Your moves must flow from one to another and you must be ready to change your motions in mid-movement in case an opponent launches an attack. You should practice staying light on your feet and moving your weight around. Each attack must leave the door open for another quick attack, or a sudden defense. Your Shaolin Kung Fu exercises should strive for agile footwork while striking, rather than training both aspects independently.
When practicing Shaolin Kung Fu punching you should also have targets that help improve your accuracy and speed. A strong punch is meaningless if it does not hit the target, or is so slow that it is easily blocked or countered. Your punches must also be fast so that you can quickly move into another attack, or react defensively. After a punch is thrown it should be retracted quickly so that arm can defend if needed. Many martial arts shops sell pads that can be mounted on a human body in many places such as the hands, ribs, and legs. Your training partner should wear these pads so that you can practice at full speed and have moving targets. While striking the pads at full speed your training partner should be moving around so that you have a moving target. Hand mounted pads are great because they can be moved very quickly to aid in the training of fast combos. You and your Shaolin Kung Fu training partner can develop a routine in which you strike at the left side of the face, and then the chest. Your partner can move the pad from one location to the next quickly, which forces you to strike two targets as fast as possible.
If your hands are fast and precise, and your footwork is light and agile, you will have quick attacks that cannot be blocked and will be able to react to any defense of offense. Too many people hit a punching bag target with their feet flat. Punching bags do not challenge your precision like a smaller moving target does.

Kung Fu Training Does Sanda/San Shou Kung Fu emphasis meditation.channelling Chi,and performing the horse stance in training?
I know other styles of Kung Fu emphasizes on meditation,channeling Chi,and performing the Horse stance during training.However,I'm not familiar with sanda/san shou.Does it emphasizes on meditation,channelig Chi, and performing Horse Stance exercises during training?Or is Sanda/San Shou just a form of Kung Fu that is all about fighting and sports competition?Please inform me!
most forms of kung fu use a horse stance as a basic form of training,
and qi gung is at the very centre of kung fu, weather or not you will be tought qi (or to spell it phoneticaly chi) manipulation i do not know, it depends on your instructor. i practice lau gar and am taught moving meditation techniques but that is because both i and my instructor show an interest in them
here are some tips for helping to stimulate and direct chi
below your navel is what is known as the dan tien (spelt phoneticaly) which is where your chi energy is thought to be stored.
the most important thing in directing chi is mind power, belive you are doing it, whilst doing excercises e.g. horse stance if you are holding your arms out streight in front of you (which is sometimes done) imagine the energy flowing in through your palms when you breath in and moving down your body into your naval aria and when you breath out imagine it going out through your arms.
other excercises such as "pushing mountains" and "raising the sky" are grate to stimulate chi flow and after practice you you should deffinatley be able to feel it, it may start off as a tingeling. and if you imagine a ball of chi between your hands and imagine energy coming out of your hands and building up inside that ball, after practice it should feel something like pushing two same poles of a magnet together, with practice that ball will also get bigger.
you can also stimulate chi flow arround your body through meditation. imagining it flowing, around your body.
i have mentioned practice numerouse time above and i must say you have to be persistant. it will not come to you at first, you have to be patient and keep practicing.
the most important things are mind power, you have to see yourself doing it, and practice, ive been practicing for about 2 years, nightly!
good times to practice are early in the morning and late at night. AVOID MID DAY! suposidly by a tree and flowing water is great, and prefferably with a breeze, however i understand this is somtimes very hard, so i practice in my room, with windows open
some of the effects you get are tingeling in the fingers (i got this about two weeks it) and a eventualy if you push your hands together it should feel like pushing two repelling magnets together (i got this a few months in) and the feeling should gradualy increase.
top tips are not to give up! and keep at it.
if you (or anyone) whants a run through of some other excercises such as moving meditation raising the sky pushing mountains ect feel free to add me on here and email me, and ill be happy to help
moving meditation is basicaly just relaxing and letting go, one person i know described it as pulling an elastic band and letting it go, you let it continue to spring back and forth with the energy it has. so basicaly you let go and do not prevent yourself from doing things such as swaying, stepping and somtimes even humming

Kung Fu Training Can somebody tell me where i can find a free on line tai-chi or kung-fu training?
I just want to train those martial arts very well!!!!
With all the sincerity of my response, training via online, videos, or books without proper instruction and guidance from a qualified martial arts instructor are rarely a path one chose if they want to succeed and progressed as a serious and decicated martial artist.
Self-training using video, internet and books cannot turn you into a good or an effective martial arts practitioner. Many can argue that Bruce Lee did it, but how many had forgotten that Bruce Lee had a solid martial arts background before he ventured on to create Jeet Kune Do.
Another detrimental result by training online , videos, or books is that this method teaching medium cannot correct or give you advices either you're doing things right or even wrong. Training martial arts without proper instructions and supervision can also cause minor or even serious injury.
Learning martial online, videos, or books can be best described having a online, videos, or books romance. You don't quite get the real thing !
You might think that you may have discovered the ultimate and cheaper way of training in the martial arts, but when reality strikes, the facade and sloppiness of your "self-training" will show. The worst that can happen also is having a false sense of security.
A majority of self-taught, pseudo blackbelts, MMA poseurs and other fraudulent wanna-be martial arts "practitioners" are one of the main reasons why the general public looks down on the martial arts and its practitioners. Many of the long time legitimate practitioners of the martial arts regardless of styles finds this awfully frustrating and horrendous , when we spent half of our life trying to live up to the highest standard and virtues of our beloved art.
For long time practitioners of the martial arts , video training or other forms of training such as DVD's and the internet are just another "tool" in our "toolbox"

Kung-Fu TRAINING
Do you have any experience as a student of BJJ or Muay Thai or Kung Fu training in or around Atlanta?
Please share your positive experiences. Please list places to avoid as well.
I trained at Tiger Academy (intersection of 400 and 92). It offers BJJ, wing chun, and MMA (muay thai, bjj, wing chun, weapons) classes. The BJJ and private classes are outstanding for MMA athletes and anyone looking for hardcore training.
The other classes are good for newbs and non-MMA athletes. These classes are no joke, but clearly not as hardcore as the BJJ and private classes. However, students are able to sign up for whichever classes they want.
Either way, Tiger Academy has a strong sense of morality and principles...which promotes athletic character, dedication to learning techniques, and hard (but safe) training. These principles also create a fantastic environment for young kids to train in; thus TA has a terrific kids program.
The only other place I've heard of is Knuckle Up. It seems like an LA Fitness center customized specifically for MMA training. That way you can go to a class if you want, or just show up anytime and lift weights and hit the heavy bag.
Kung Fu Training shaolin kung fu training center nyc?
has anyone ever studied kung fu there or knows anything about the place? I feel like it's a good school but I want to hear other opinions.
not heard of it since am from the UK... haha, ok not really funny ;p
i studied Shaolin Dragon Style.
but no matter what style and whos advise, it always best to go and have a look yourself, also keep an eye on the trainer and watch the student... you can always spot a good teacher from how well he teaches and the general level of his class.
look around and afew different places... u'll prob notice there are
greater master, but some cant teach.
great talker, but thats it...
and some purely just for the money. but if u look hard enough u will find amazing teachers who wont hold any knowledge back if your willing to learn.

Kung Fu Training in Wudang Shan, China - Crouching Tiger Hidden Nugget 1
Do low Kung Fu stances destroy your knees?
I have been practicing Wudang Kung Fu since March. Recently I began physical therapy due to overstrain at my work. While I was there, I showed my therapist my forms, curious what he would say. He replied simply by saying that extending my knees beyond my feet would destroy my knees because of the sheer force.
I have been unable to find any information on this except to discover that some people do disagree with the conventional western wisdom of not extending your knees beyond your feet.
I am looking for verifiable information, NOT merely opinions, to help me decide whether to continue my Kung Fu training or not.
I can not offer you verifiable information, but i have been studying chinese gong fu in china for 5 years. In chinese gong fu the knee does not extend the toes, but extended from straight up to that point will not destroy the knee. You also must remember that gong fu means time spent doing something. To study chinese martial arts needs devotion. You need to train everyday. Obviously when you begin Start off slow and build your strength slowly. Stance training is the foundation - but needs to be worked at slowly. When i began training i would only hold the stance 5 secs, next day 5 sec if i could then the following week maybe 25 secs etc. Find a good teacher, look to study xing yi if you can find a teacher...If studying the internal arts it is tradition to first study this then ba gua and lastly tai ji. I hope this gives you some help.
