kung fu!

Any martial artists in here? Reply with your style!

I'm into n'gor chor kung fu - been doing it for about three months. My master doesn't believe in the whole belt system, but i know the first three forms and i'm learning the fourth, so i guess that makes me a blue belt.

Re: kung fu!

I recommend doing karate! Beware of certain styles though. Some people charge more and more the higher belt rank you earn. You basically spend a lot of money on a belt and no skills!

I'm studying the Tang Soo Do style.

Re: kung fu!

I did kempo and ninjitsu for 3 years..

You have to know why you want to learn anything.., a lot of schools and 'masters' out there only train for competitions and belts..

you want the philosophy-oriented , the contact-oriented, or the throphy-oriented stuff..?

Thats Brazilian Ju Jitsu. It's a grappling style it has some moves you'll see in WWE like scoop slams and cross arm bars.
