blueangel Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 I think the only reason why I can't seem to really be attracted to Bruce Lee is because he reminds me too much of my father. Same face, body, style of fighting . . . yea, too much like Daddy.It really sucks.BlueAngel------------------I would rather have 15 minutes of wonderful, than a lifetime of nothing special.

back2basics Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Yeh i used to study Wing Chun for 4 years, gota brown belt, but it was getting to the stage where i had to study with Samual Quok which would have cost and i discovered this thing... called house.I would recommend Wing Chun to anybody, it's a great style. Yip Man was incredible.Check out http://www.wingchun.com/ you may find some info about a trainer in NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty19 Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 hey alamo, too bad you aren't lookin to venture into queens. there is also a wu tang gung fu school in flushing (not named after the hip hop group for those that don't know, i think it was the other way around). a highly respectable place.i have friends that have taken gung fu, jujitsu, akido, and kumdo (korean stick-fighting), all in queens though, it's pretty cheap out here too. i used to take tae kwon do for 3 years, like i mentioned earlier. i was pretty serious, i was training about 5 times a week. but those days have been over since i went away to college, i had to concentrate more on studying. but i did enter tournaments (and won!), fought guys twice my size (i am a 5'5", 115 lb girl), bled, cried, sprained things, knuckles splitting, everything. i loved everyday of it, i can't wait to finish school and get back into training. love the arts you studied, how long? ------------------*kitty19**turn it around baby* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitty19 Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 b2B, wing chun huh? fuckin awesome!! i love the things that i find out about people here. what's the philosophy behind that? never learned too much about it. ------------------*kitty19**turn it around baby* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueangel Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Being that my dad was extremely into martial arts and he only thad THREE daughters and NO sons . . . well, of course he had to push us into martial arts . . . Tae Kwon Do to be exact.I didn't study much of it . . . it really wasn't my thing. I started when I was 10 and went into it til about 16. I stopped at brown belt-black tip. However, my older sister who studied it from 12 to like 25 is freakin' awesome! She really took it seriously too. She's a third degree and went into many competition too, so Kitty I know what you mean about bones breaking and bruising and stuff. My older sister who's about your size went through the same thing. My dad also made us study Judo as well.BlueAngel------------------I would rather have 15 minutes of wonderful, than a lifetime of nothing special.

eggmok Posted August 10 Author Report Share Posted August 10 BLUEANGEL . . . NOT ONLY ARE YOU DROP DEAD BEAUTIFUL, BUT YOU CAN KICK EVERYONE'S ASS ON THIS POST!! NOW THAT'S A WOMAN!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back2basics Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Well it's purley a defensive martial art. It's based around the center line and balance. It is ideal for small people as it teaches you leverage. Weapons arn't tought until Black belt.You know the wooden dummies you see in films? Well that is a Wing Chun dummy. Bruce Lee studied Wing Chun %80 of the moves you see him doing are Wing Chun.It's a traditional art, unlike most techniques tought today. Some techniques are tought blindfold (Lap Sau, and sticky fingers!! lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back2basics Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 BlueAngel I got to Brown Sash Black which I guess is the same as Brown Black tip in TKD... bit of a coincidence there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueangel Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Eggmok, awwww . . . stop it! Don't you know compliments will get you everything! B2B, sooooo . . . Wing Chun is more of an offensive art, right?BlueAngel------------------I would rather have 15 minutes of wonderful, than a lifetime of nothing special.

shadowchaser Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Bruce Lee was the man. No one will ever compare to him. Jackie Chan kicks ass too, but like someone else said, he's a comedian. I think Jackie would be more of a clubber than Bruce. Give Jackie a couple of pills and bumps, he would be jumpin' of walls, literally. He'd be all over the place like Spider-Man. Fave Bruce Lee movie - Game of Death. Fave Jackie Chan movie - Drunken Master 2. Dragons Forever comes in a close second. I took Tae Kwon Do for a few years before I went off to art school. I was brown belt. I won a couple of tournaments too. My training was cut short when I accidently knocked out my teacher when we supposed to be just sparring...hehe... He was about 6'2", I'm about 5'10". I did a roundhouse kick and broke his nose. He wasn't too happy when he woke up. What about Michelle Yeoh. She's a hottie can kick some serious ass too. I'd let her kick mine. ------------------You know we aren't meant to exist in the outside world... - Akirashadowchaser076@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back2basics Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 BlueAngle, i surpose so, it uses the other persons strength against them. But it's not tought as an offensive art, but as a defensive art.hold on........ Wing Chun dummy. The old guy is Yip Man the only grandmaster.It's a close range style, and it was tought in Shaolin monastery's.[This message has been edited by back2basics (edited 08-10-2000).][This message has been edited by back2basics (edited 08-10-2000).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-tarded Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan are two different martial artists. I think it would be a pretty close fight, but Bruce was the man.------------------~*P*L*U*R*~ Four Simple Words To Live By.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boa_boy Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 Jackie Chan is a v. funny martial artist/actor/comedian/crazy stunt man, whereas Bruce Lee was the first to make the cross over and legend complete with his own mythology.....it's an apples and oranges argument ------------------..................coming soon to a dancefloor near you------------------> boa_boy@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shannah Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Props to J. Chan but Bruce Lee was (and still is) the man. Jet Li rocks too. I've seen a couple of his other flicks - man is he fast. I took Isshinryu in college but really want to try Kung Fu. Any suggestions for studios in NYC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
