Is it good for slim, light, flexible people?|||Yes, it is a good fighting art. It is complete in that training includes strikes, grabs, grappling, throws, groundfighting (you didn%26#039;t know that, did you?), pressure point attacks, joint manipulation, weapons, etc. It has evolved and refined over thousands of years through wars/armed conflict.

Certain kung fu styles work better for people of light build but they can all accommodate light, flexible people. A good teacher can show you how to counter a stronger, bigger opponent. You get out of it what you put into it.|||depends on the fight.|||All together now%26quot; It%26#039;s not the art it%26#039;s the artist. Shaolin is good. There are many styles within Shaolin. If you have a good instructor, you will learn to defend yourself.|||HELL NO!!!! People will claim they do San Shou/San Da which is untrue. Kung Fu stance are way too rigid and the way their hands are up is awful! It will get them tear up.

You want prove? Notice how none of those guys can give any real description on why it%26#039;s effective. On other hand I can give you descript why it%26#039;s uneffective. I can explain why some styles are effective or uneffective.

On other hand yes San Shou/San Da is a good style. It%26#039;s way more relaxed than most Kung Fu. They also are prepare for more real attack because they%26#039;re not in rigid stance and they%26#039;re prepare for many things such as sprawling to prevent take down, their heands are up near head to block blows to the head, they can block low kick, and many more.|||O MAN! Look at the size of those people.|||You bet Sparky !!!|||There are only a handful of techniques in the whole array of Shaolin kung fu that is even practical in a real life street fight. Study Shaolin for the exercises both physically and mentally as well as the %26quot;chi%26quot;. Leave the sports fighting to the guys in the UFC. (Sorry, so far, no Shaolin champions in the UFC)

Also, in real combat, %26quot;like on a battle field, life or death%26quot; situation, there are NO rules and the most lethal techniques are usually taught by the real fighters and not much good for spectatorship.|||The biggest problem with CMA%26#039;s (chinese martial arts) is the HUGE amount of bull sh it out there and lack of quality teaching and training.

It is hard to find a good CMA teacher, it is MUCH harder to find a good teacher who teaches the most suspect of chinese martial arts (which in general when someone mentions a cma is suspect). Tai-chi, wing chun and shaolin are the most suspect of CMAs. Tai-chi however, it is fairly easy to tell if the class is geared towards old people and not applying the techniques to fighting, it is just hard to find a teacher that does do this and trains with resisting opponents.

wing chun has a crap reputation, I personally have no experience, nor to my knowledge ever really sparred against a real %26quot;chunner%26quot;. Nor have I to my knowledge sparred against or trained with a real shaolin kung fu guy. However the demos I%26#039;ve seen, and clips of this look highly impractical or they are training with compliant partners.

This would be indicative of the type of training that is commonplace and you would have very very hard time finding a real teacher. You are more likely to fall into the trap of some teacher selling you a load of crap and all they are teaching you is techniques that only work when your partner is compliant.|||Shaolin Kung Fu will teach you a good many things. It will teach you who to keep your body, and mind fit, also how to achieve spiritual fulfillment if you are dedicated. And yes it will teach you how to deal with attackers in a close range situation.

And isnt that what we are all after…

Another reason would be to prevent lice infestation.

with the information i%26#039;ve been looking at from the net thats what it seems like, which confuses me because i always thought it to be different. then again, the internet isnt 100% trustworthy|||Not necessarily, but you will find the movement to be largely based on the animal forms even if you find a system that is not based solely on the five Shaolin animals. There are also family styles, but here again, you are talking Shaolin. You will find that most Northern systems encompass a %26quot;long fist%26quot; method, and also incorporate more kicks than southern. Of course, just generally speaking, and not an absolute!

Short answer, no, northern Shaolin martial arts do not only encompass the animal forms.|||Not at all, many forms of shaolin are based on meditation methods and ideas. The beginning martial arts theories were based on self-defense and enchancement of personal meditation, very little parts of that practice involved animal forms. Later when shaolin martial arts were brought outside of the temples, different factions of shaolin came into existense. Some factions favored animal forms over more traditional forms because of its offensive nature, rather than a defensive form (plus it looked cool and sounded better , =oP ). By no means does northern shaolin martial arts only emcompass animal forms, rather only few emcompass animal forms. Shaolin martial arts is actually a very deep-rooted in terms of history and its development. From its humble beginning as a way to meditate and deepen spiritual strength to a massive enterprise of different factions learning skills that can ultimately kill someone with their bare hands.|||no|||Northen shaolin is a category of styles that means: open positions and a lot of kicks. Movement derives from animals but are really far from the imitative styles that use animal claws.

For example there is Pei Pai Shaolin quan (Chang Dsu Yao school) that has a basic program with punches, saves, palms, nudges, positions and kicks; 5 forms (lu) and other 5 forms after the black belt; esatabilished combats (Poi gi), Chin na techniques, kick%26#039;s forms, and weapons.

It should!|||Block his

punches, jump over the charged attack or attack him if you%26#039;re daring,

and run to the front of the rubble pile to avoid the attacks, as there%26#039;s a

99% chance you wont be hit. Keep launching him and attacking him when he%26#039;s

airborne and soon he%26#039;ll reach 50% health. Now he%26#039;s mad. He%26#039;ll stop doing the

multi-ball attack but he adds 2 more: Stealth, and a deadly dome of magic.

Stealth is annoying, as he cant be seen at all until a brief image of his

head can be seen, so attack that area. The deadly dome can be awful if you%26#039;re

caught in it, but it%26#039;s very easy to see him charge it up so by that time you

have already pegged it away from him. The only real threat is the stealth

move. A good tip is to know that the camera zooms in on you when your close

to your oppenent, and zooms out when far away, so use that to help you.

Many attacks later, Reptile makes a mistake, so you break his jaw, and

in a tense struggle, break his neck and claim both your second tournament

victory and the wall-climb ability. FATALITY.

Kung Fu Fighting Lyrics

Everybody was kung-fu fighting

Those cats were fast as lightning

In fact it was a little bit frightning

But they fought with expert timing

They were funky China men from funky Chinatown

They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down

It%26#039;s an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part

From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting

Those cats were fast as lightning

In fact it was a little bit frightning

But they fought with expert timing

There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung

He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on

We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand

The sudden motion made me skip now we%26#039;re into a brand knew trip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting

Those cats were fast as lightning

In fact it was a little bit frightning

But they did it with expert timing

(repeat)..make sure you have expert timing

Kung-fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning

Damn i dont know what it is but i cant block with l2 neither lock-on,instead it appears a minimap and i just jump…plz tell me how can i block in this freaking tutorial!|||It may be your controller?

I have noticed that with my own game sometimes but take what I said into consideration.

If it is not your controller, it may be the game but I highly doubt that is the problem though I have noticed a few glitches on that game anyway. Remember block is L2 and locking on is the very same button. Once you block you are automatically locked on. If you are still uncertain.

in ko-op mode with sub-zero and scorpion when you are in the living forest and after you get all the three tree hints and then you go into the room that has clay soldiers coming at you really fast HOW DO YOU DESTROY THEM?because each time me and my brother try to destroy those things the moment we get into that room raiden tells us to press L1 (fatality stunner) for some reason and then we cant use our other buttons such as triangle and square but we can use circle but only with R1 and R1 with circle is not an attack on clay soldiers.we read a guide from ign.com and it said to use multi directional attacks but we cant even use SQUARE which is the attack button. so if ANYONE can help with that part that would be nice.the one with the best answer gets 10 points.|||Take a hike dejavu7013!!

But it sounds to me like something is wrong with your game if Raiden is asking you to press L1.

Don%26#039;t.

If you ARE talking about the clay soldiers that come out of the walls in the Living Forest on your way to fight Reptile then you have to be quick all you got to do is study which ways they come out and hit them in the multiple directions and they get harder as they go but trust me, there are only three sets of the soldiers you must break but after beating that, you should be able to unlock Brutalities in which you and your brother will be faced by Putrid Corpses and one must fill up the fatality bar to level three to do a Brutality and that is when you use the stunner. But if what YOU are saying is true then something doesn%26#039;t sound right.

Shaolin Vs. Ninja? In a one on one street brawl… The Shaolin Monk EVERY time. (AS long as the Ninja doesn’t sneak up and shoot him in the back with a bow and arrow.)

Shaolin monks went through and still go through the most rigorous training you could imagine. I have see real Shaolin monk training, and let me tell you, it%26#039;s NOT easy. It made the training I got in the U.S. Marine Corps look like sissy stuff.

Besides, comparing a Shaolin Monk to a Ninja is like comparing a Navy SeAL to a UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) competitor with a collage degree.

hope you like it|||it all depends on how you train.

if you train realistically and with partners who use full resistance. then you will be able to use it and what you learn can be good.

however, the reality is that the vast majority of CMA (chinese martial art) schools do not train this way. They stick to %26quot;tradition%26quot; and pass down the same thing without trying to improve or test it and like a long game of telephone it gets more and more screwed up along the line. So instead of having a technique that works and the mechanics and power to back it up, you have a %26quot;red dog eat shoe and is cheap in barn%26quot;.

CMA is not the only category of martial arts guilty of this- but of CMA, shaolin and tai chi are among the most notorious for this kind of approach.

Any school that says %26quot;we are too deadly to train our stuff%26quot; is full of it. Now obvoulsy there are always going to be some things you can%26#039;t train (breaks with full intent, etc.) for obvious safety reasons, however if most of your style can%26#039;t be trained, how the hell are you going to be able to pull it off for real?

find a school that trains hard and realistically, regardless of the art.|||sure it is good, i like mine with toast|||Shaolin Chaun Chao ( Kung-fu) is a good skill to leanr but the training is harsh, it does bring good health and excellent results for staying in shape though.

how long do you start experiencing them ?|||…uhh… theres only one shaolin monk that has ever left China/ if you are being trained in shaolin the benefits would be harmony throughout the mind and body, increased athletics [jumping, agility, flexibility, striking], unparalled acrobatics/kicks [exce. ninjitsu mayb for acro] conditioned bones [shins knuckles arms forearms] different styles [tiger, swan etc.] unpredictability through vast amount of techniques

it takes a tremendous amount of time and dedication to vastly improve in shaolin because of the difficulty of the techniques, and the unmatched dedication [meditating for 2-4 hours a day] practising techniques hours at a time throughout the day. Short-term benefits would be felt immediately though, as you transfer into a strict lifestyle of constant body-conditioning/hardening, that is unlike any other martial art. You can%26#039;t even be accepted into Shaolin [i dun think anyway] if you are too late into your teens because the gap is too far to make up.

Ive been playing this game for about three days now and for the past two ive just been going in circles im in the room with the ceiling fan in soul tombs and there is only one enemy to throw into the fan and every time i do it makes the noise like something happened but nothing ever does ive exited and re-entered the room ten times and thrown the enemy into the fan what gives?

Help me please?|||There is indeed a reason why that room is there…

you go through the other doorway in that room (not the one YOU came through) and you have to climb up a level in that next room you will enter.

Next, follow the path after you have climbed up that level and there wil be another doorway, enter it.

Inside is the upper level of that room in which you encountered the large ceiling fan. There is a platform located on top of the fan directly in the middle that you can stand on. The second you land on that platform FOUR Tarkatas immediately try to ambush you knock all four off into the fan.

Knocking them into that fan should result in the blades breaking off and flying into the walls. Jump across to the other side of that platform and follow the path provided until you reach a square platform, stand on it. Doing this will access use for a sword back in the main hall of the Green room.

Now the reason the fan blades broke was for you to climb up them and reach the top instead of going through all I just told you next time you decide to enter that room.

Shaolin Quan (Shaolin Boxing)

Shaolin Quan or Shaolin boxing originated in the Shaolin Temple on Mount Songshan at Dengfeng in Henan Province. It was named after the temple. The founder of the Shaolin Quan was said to be a Indian monk, Bodhi-dharma. The proposition, though very influential, was proved to be false, for there was a monk named Bodhi-dharma but he knew nothing at all about Chinese boxing. In fact, Shaolin Quan was the manifestation of the wisdom of the monks of the temple, secular Wushu masters and army generals and soldiers.

I just found out that you can use Goro and Kitana in story mode, so anyone knows how to?|||Aaaah that%26#039;s a load of crap.

That%26#039;s not possible! I know a LOT about Shaolin Monks. I have been through that game so many times. I know so much about it and it can%26#039;t be true??

Kitana is playable in Versus mode but not Story mode. Somebody if feeding you lies. Don%26#039;t believe them. I have heard many things about what you can do in Shaolin Monks and none of it is true.

I am stucked running around but dont get any further development…what%26#039;s to be done in there?|||Send me an IM, kinda hard to help out when I have no clue what you%26#039;ve already done.

There is also a forumn there as well for more information.|||praying mantis, grasshopper, tiger, crane, snake, panther.

Im new to the game of course but im at the level where you have to beat kitana and the two outworld assassins, the two women ones, I have tried to throw them in the traps but I just cant beat them what do i do am i missing something.|||Just look on gamefaqs.com, it tells you everything there.|||It%26#039;s best to try and use as many combos as possible and try using specials as well.|||This could arguably be the hardest boss fight in the game, due to the numbers against you. The fight is broken up into two parts. During the first half of the fight, you%26#039;ll have to do battle with all three ladies at the same time. The objective here is to throw Kitana into the middle of the battlefield, where she%26#039;ll be imprisoned. When this happens, a meter indicating how close she is to breaking free of the mind spell that%26#039;s entrapped her will come up. Fend off both Mileena and Jade while this goes down and Kitana will finally be freed from the spell of her father. The first part of the fight requires a lot of jumping around, as well as projectile attacks. Keep your distance with a Fireball or a Hat Toss, and do everything you can to launch them into the air to connect with a fancy combo. Kung Lao is especially good during this fight, because his Spin attack can take out people from all angles.

After Kitana has been freed, take care of Jade and Mileena! This part is significantly easier since it%26#039;s only a two on one situation if you%26#039;re running solo. To help you out, there are traps on either side of the statues in this area that you can use to imprison either girl, which will give you about 30 seconds of play time with the other. Take advantage of this! You can also perform a Test Your Might challenge on the prison, which will cause significant damage to them. Once they have been defeated, use a Fatality to finish them off! After the battle, you%26#039;ll learn the Fist of Ruin ability, which will let you destroy all of those evil looking statues in the game. Back track and destroy all of those statues to lower the gates, and you%26#039;ll eventually unlock another portal, which will take you to the hub Portal.

Back track and destroy all of those statues to lower the gates, and you%26#039;ll eventually unlock another portal, which will take you to the hub Portal.|||Well it%26#039;s after fighting them for awhile then you%26#039;ll be able to knock them into the traps. It%26#039;s actually quite easy without using the traps. I don%26#039;t think the traps take that much power away but maybe if you still can%26#039;t beat them try using different techniques like for example, I block and wait for the right moment to strike.

I am really excellent with Kung Lao on that game and alot of times with almost any boss, I will throw them and then throw my hat at them so it cuts them while in the air…I never really give them a chance…but if you%26#039;re new to it, it may be a little hard so take it easy okay my advice might work???

are you a student here? villaris martial arts center in madison, wi? any comments? are you satisfied? what about the fact that you get one free class and then they lock you into a 6 month contract?

check out the website, what do you think?|||NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

They are one of the larges McDojo systems in the USA since the late 70%26#039;s. Its a joke I am sorry to say.

If you wish to learn kempo their are other school systems that are not Mcdojo and can train you well with confidence.

Ed Parker system is one, and their are a few others too. Villari is a self proclaimed tenth degree black belt and one of the biggest frauds I have ever personally met and trained some of their classes as a courtesy and I was disgusted at what I saw. He was selling Black Belt programs gauranteed in three years for some $2500. That is crazy. YOu cannot buy a Black Belt, you have to earn it and their is NO set time as to how long it will take, it could take 4-9 years depending on your own personal ability to learn from the teacher.

Please do yourself a huge favor and do not waiste your money and time.

DOES it have to be Kempo or Kenpo? Sometimes other arts are just as good if their is a good teacher around. Just something to consider.|||Your Welcome and yes It did. their rates are crazy. the best option in my opinion is a monthly due fee. One where they will not guarantee a Black belt for money.

|||no, they advertise using exotic words such as shaolin, but dont actually have anything. I attended a school that was a %26quot;Temple Kung Fu%26quot; and learned nothing more than basic karate for almost a year. Every month i would take a %26quot;test%26quot; and get a new stripe on my belt. No one ever failed, and i then got curious and looked around and found a much better Tae Kwon do school. I suggest you find a better less exotic sounding school. You should also look for independent schools, franchises are all about the money. Also you should see if you can watch a few sessions and see if its good or not.|||There is no such thing as shaolin karate.|||run, don%26#039;t walk, away…

i kno them both i just want to see wat you guys think.|||lol I answered your other question. Where did you learn Shaolin in the United States? I took it from the same man who teaches me Isshin-ryu and Okinawa Shorrin-ryu Karate. Shaolin is a very deadly traditional style, and it blows Brazilian Jui Jitsu away in every aspect, as you know. About the only thing that can stop a master Shaolin Monk is a bullet. Those guys train every day of their lives from like age 5, where MMA fighters start at 15 and train five days a week. Do the math lol.|||I like brazilian jujitsu, able to inflict alot more pain.|||Well… I%26#039;ve only met two Shaolin Kung Fu people… and one of them — the only one I%26#039;ve ever seen do anything that remotely resembled fighting — seemed to have wasted six years of his life.

So from my limited experience, I%26#039;d go with BJJ.|||They are both extremely different martail arts. For one thing Shaolin is totally Stand-up and BJJ is all ground-fighting. A study in America shows that you are less likely, if you are an adult, to go to the ground.

http://www.edatkd.com/fighting_myths.htm|||BJJ is proven as one of the most effective forms of fighting in the world. Kung fu looks cool, but I%26#039;d rather look bad winning than look good losing

I teach SKK, yet I want to incorporate some Kajukenbo forms/katas, do you think it is improper to mix outside info into a martial arts curriculum. SKK is a branch off of Kajukenbo, yet the katas/forms are different|||Look, forget about this traditional %26quot;I must stick to a specific set of patterns%26quot; crap. You shouldn%26#039;t need any approval from anyone.

Martial arts is about using whatever method that is necessary to defend yourself. It is about YOUR OWN unique self expression of combat. That is the ART part in martial arts. Being said that, if you find that the Kajukembo forms work for you, then use it, but ONLY if the techniques are useful. Otherwise it is just extra wasted movements that you have to remember.

If you (Along with many others) remained governed by a fixed set of techniques, then you are only holding yourself back. That is like saying that your instuctor is controlling the way how you move and you can%26#039;t move in any other way except the way he taught you. Set yourself free from all of that or you will never be a TRUE martial artist.|||It%26#039;s not improper, whenever possible you should try to make your teachings as flexible as possible/incorporate different moves, so your students would be prepared for a greater variety of combat situations|||first move in my opinion is to discuss this with your own Master,Sifu/Sensei. my own opinion is that if you feel theres a gap in your own knowledge then this should be bridged.weapons training are a definite positive attribute to any system.|||Definetly run this through your instructor first. If he has no problem I don%26#039;t see why you should. If you do I would restrict learning these to your higher ranked belts just for the simple fact that a student should have agood base in one style before learning another.

I do not really know either of these two styles well but I am guessing there is some differance between them. your instructor will know if you are qualified to include these and teach them properly.|||I teach kajukenbo and wouldn%26#039;t find it offensive in any way. The only problem I would have is if you claimed that you were teaching kajukenbo, instead of SKK with some forms and techniques from kaju. Sijo Emperado (founder of Kajukenbo)said you can add to Kajukenbo, just don%26#039;t take anything out. I would think it would be the same with Shaolin Kempo Karate.

Are you a Villari SKK stylist ?|||Shaolin Kempo has elements of Kajukenbo and reversed, as Kaju is a blending of the styles. It is a great style that Bruce did alot of experimenting with as well.

Shaolin Kempo is what it is, as is kaju. They are easily mixed as they both have so many of the same elements. You will simply grow in your skills. My art states mix as does Kaju. Kempo has been blended with arts in Hawaii and elsewhere already so your committing no sin.|||As far as I know, most SKK schools (Villari%26#039;s, United Studios) do not incorporate Kajukenbo forms into their curriculum…don%26#039;t know if its okay?

which one is more powerful|||Apparently the popular misconception that Tai Chi Chuan is simply an exercise or only for meditation runs rampant in the martial arts section of Answers too! How disheartening!

Tai Chi Chuan is roughly translated to %26quot;Supreme Ultimate Fist%26quot; and is actually a rather devastating martial art when sped up to real time or actual application. There are several reasons as to why it is practiced slowly, among them:

a) Tai Chi Chuan has no basics (such as external martial arts where one can do punching or kicking drills, etc.),

b) Tai Chi Chuan is considered moving meditation, and

c) health benefits of Tai Chi Chuan were realized when practiced slowly, such as massaging the internal organs and, if you believe in this sort of thing, allowing chi to flow freely by eliminating any blockages that occur in meridians in the body.

Beyond this, Tai Chi Chuan has different lineages such as Yang, Wu, old Wu, Sun, and Chen - all of which have noticible differences. For reference, though, most practice Yang (that%26#039;s what you see the old folks doing in the park).

%26quot;Kung Fu%26quot; is a general term that essentially means %26quot;to work hard%26quot; and is a blanket term that covers all Chinese martial arts. This being the case, Tai Chi Chuan is kung fu! It is not Shaolin in origin, however, as Shaolin is based in the Hunan province and follows Buddhist teachings whereas Tai Chi Chuan likely began in Wudang and follows Taoist scriptures.

To ask which is more powerful is to ask which religion is best. You can ask a hundred different people and get a hundred different answers. One can%26#039;t honestly answer your question.|||I just wanted to say thanks for all the votes! This is the largest turn out I%26#039;ve seen. Thanks again, and I hope I helped! Report It
|||kung fu….tai chi is done slowly and calmer|||kung fu if you want to be more about your body

Tai Chi if you want it to be more about your mind

They are both good.

I like kung fu myself :)|||Wing Chun.|||tai chi is more of an exercise for balancing the mind and body|||There are hundreds of styles of Kung Fu. Shaolin is not a style, at the Shaolin temple they teach styles such as Tiger Claw etc.

Also Tai Chi is very dissimilar to Kung Fu. Kung Fu is about combat, while Tai Chi is more focused on slow meditative movements. Take a look at many styles of Kung Fu before you decide they are very different from one another|||These are two totally different styles.

Tai chi is something like yoga or pilates. You would take this for flexibility, to relieve stress and for inner harmony.

Shaolin kunfu is a martial art geared to self defense. You would take this to learn to defend your self and develop physical stamina.

It sounds like from your question that you want to study a powerful art. Check out Okinawan Japaneses styles, Muay thai, Brazilian Jiu-jitzu, escrima and tang soo do.|||shaolin kungfu is more powerful|||thi chi is not slow its medium speed i would say and its better the shaolin watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP2D1xGBZ…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMEQNsKzr…|||Shaolin is external martial arts, while Tai Chi is one of the internal martial arts, that%26#039;s really how they were first divided into the two main categories of Chinese martial arts.

I think, in terms of %26quot;power%26quot; attainable in a shorter period of time, it should be Shaolin kungfu though the potentials of the power that Taichi can bring seems unlimited but probaby will take upto many years to reap the fruit and requires a very good understanding of Taichi. Taichi is about training the %26quot;softness%26quot;, and heightened sensitivity of every muscle in your body, this is the reason why it%26#039;s often practiced slowly, so you%26#039;re aware of what%26#039;s going on. There are different families of Taichi each having their own unique characteristics. If you understand the essence of Taichi and are able to apply it in normal speed, Taichi can indeed be a devastating artform. The only few times how the late Karate legend Mas Oyama, had ever lost in any martial art matches in his lifetime was against an old man who was a lifetime practitioner of Taichi (so if you ever heard rumors like 80 year old man who practices Taichi can still fight it%26#039;s not a myth, it is real).

Taichi, and other Chinese internal arts are really trying to harness this thing called %26quot;neijing%26quot; (internal power).

Shaolin monks don%26#039;t just train physically (externally) but qiqong (internal practices) are considered essential and is incorporated into their regular training as well.|||man… what an awesome question.

remember, slower and calmer doesn%26#039;t mean less power, often it means more. Actually both schools are related, so I would have to call it close… but Shaolin in the end becasue it is focused more on striking|||Kung Fu is the obvious answer, as it was developed as a fighting art. But, no style really has any power. The practitioner matters much more than the style, and this applies across the board.|||The power comes from the details of the technique, not the style one studies. The term %26quot;more powerful%26quot; is often misunderstood. Kung fu is taught as an external style. I learned my blocks, strikes, throws, etc. first. I was taught stance and walking drills. I was taught with the intent of self defense. As I continued to train, I improved(a little) and noticed my kicks were better, my punched had more penetration even though my physical strength had stayed about the same. I became more powerful because I had a better understanding of the technique.

Then, in attempt to understand technique better still, I began with tai chi. The detail towards body position, and the forced slow pace opened my eyes to everything I had missed in kung fu. Tai Chi is a fighting art and a very effective one. The misconception that it a balance exercise comes from the lack of qualified instructors. If you only learn %26quot; tai chi like exercises%26quot; that is all they will be. Because the details of the movements are lost, the power of the technique is lost aswell.

I cannot agree with Steel enough, the practitioner will develop the power in time. There is no best style, no magic bullet and no way short of hours and hours of practice to better.

Well all you have to do is throw the sword at Baraka, then beat the living **** out of him till the sword breaks. Then later all you have to do is when you clash swords, when you win that throw your sword at him again and beat the **** out of him till you win.

If you have can you tell me where they are?|||The three hints are given to you are when you lob an enemy in to a living tree, it eats the enemy and you get a hint

You got to follow one of the rooms and go up the stairs. The ceiling fan thing can be destroyed by throwing your enemies on it. Climb on it and follow the secret path to a room where you just stand in the middle of a circle (I can%26#039;t remeber it thats what you do) It then drops a sword near the door which you use to open the door.|||It is a large cauldron. It can be lifted and shifted out of the way by grasping it with both arms and close to the body. Two protrusions, (handles?) are situated one on each side. They are at height thats forces the person to contact them with his inner forearms. The handles are red hot, and the lifter is branded whilst lifting the cauldron.
