Shaolin stance

Ma Bu: Horse Stance.

Gong Bu: Forward Stance.

Pu Bu: Crouching Stance.

hi, i guess what i want to know is 'do you practice any form of sparring or combat, or is it all gymnastic based?'

also, i have seen the wheel of life show live....

[shaolin1]

Yeap... of course we also study sparing... but we also study gymnastic style things too... So the answer isn't one or the other it is both,

I wasn't asking if ya had seen the wheel of life live, what did you think anyway?, but was asking if you had seen the documentary on the making?

And did you re check the website and what it says?

Peace & happiness...

[pistache323]

hi... on your website you say,

'Chinese Culture Centre UK is the only place in UK to learn direct from the ultimate master of kungfu!'

... pretty big claims!

the ultimate master of kungfu!

very humble! lol

[shaolin1]

The website states that you can learn direct from the "ultimate masters of Kung fu" meaning masters from the shows wheel of life and kung fu masters. In which this slogan is used... being the only official place in Uk with the Shaolin monks from these shows the claims are"pretty big" but at the same are true...

Im sure you can understand now the meaning behind the statement? We are sorry that it does not come across humble... it is not intended-

happiness,

Amitoufu

[shaolin1]

Hey... I think on the website it does say masters from wheel of life no?lol? Check it out...

Shaolin monks have been practicing Kung Fu for more than 1500 years and most martial arts can be traced back to Shaolin... the term "ultimate masters of Kung fu" best describes who they are...

Your understanding of us promoting Chinese government approved WuShu is very wrong as the show is created by a international production team and all the master are direct from the Shaolin temple in Henan...

[shaolin1]

Have you seen the wheel of life DVD? Its a good buy and the special addition second disk has a documentary about shoalin and how the show was made... check it out...

Much happiness...

great!!

[MrCarstennielsen]

Pretty good video, but too much emphasis is made on big muscles.

I once spoke with an young thai, very well build. I asked him if trained evryday, no, I just eat too much, and he was not beeing sarchastic or the like. If you eat too much, but know your body, you can become very well build, get big muscles, but they are at no use, should you need to fight other than wrestling alike fighting styles.

[kapoof2]

why is it that some chinese arts call stances Bu, and others call them Ma, for example, our ma bu is called su ping ma, our gong bu is called an do ma, and pu bu isnt really in our stances, but we do it for stretching purposes

[mustainelee]

good!!!

[pillsburydoughboy47]

believe it or not, that was all done by hand. It may be tough to swallow, but the best art instruction schools train their students to draw, draw, and keep drawing until lines, circles and curves are perfectly straight. I'd go to Italy to learn how to draw, sadly I probably neither qualify, nor do I speak Italian.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

Seriously, screw New York, and even Paris; beleive it or not when it comes to learning how to be an artist, Italy is still the place to go.

[pillsburydoughboy47]

Italian art academies are still the best in the world; they don't admit just anybody. In addition to only accepting students that "show potential," art instruction in Italy is extremely rigorous, demanding, and uncompromising, their methods of training students have not changed since the renaissance. The equipment may be different, but the methods are not. Best place to learn how to draw and paint in the world; if they let you in that is.

[supersaiyanboi]

wow nice drawing

[xiaolintraditional90]

shaolin 1. think video of traditional shaolin is in my favorites. trained in US w/ former shaolin monks for 8 years, at omei kung fu academy, & w/ some wushu teachers.point is that everything they taught r same, w/ some minor differences-shaolin stances r stronger, takes more energy,movements in forms interpretted differently. now, seems shaolin focus on training 4performances. when i hear that monks r going to have performance,feel like they aren't monks,only performers monks should be humble

[xiaolintraditional90]

shaolin1. I have see the performance so many times, not live of course, but I own the disc.i would say that it is what u would see typically in a wushu performance,even though they do do things a little different, like forms, the spiritual part, and of course the monk's robe. but other than that it's all wushu. I have seen videos on utube of a shaolin monk who does traditional shaolin forms. It looks totally different, simple, fast, powerful, no fancy twists, jumps. I don't remember his name tho
