Reputation: 15gong-fu is the proper way to spell it
but everyone calls it kung-fu
people use gong-fu so u ask why they called it that to sound smart
either way same thing though
its all martial arts and they all come from gongfu originally
its kind of a modern term for it is all

Reputation: 372Wtf, How can I get caught when you haven't responded to even a single one of my arguments? You're a complete cop-out and a charlatan as far as I'm concerned, it's obvious to anyone who knows anything about martial arts beyond empty propaganda and elitist attitudes.
Why don't you take it like a man? The fact that you're biased, and the fact that your knowledge on the field is limited. Come back when you've studied for a few more years.

Reputation: 15he didnt drop traditional gongfu only the forms?
but hes using western boxing
anyone else getting this?
and im not taking bruce Lees words as gospel ive trained in a ton of styles
i was helping this guy and giving advice
i didnt say " u have to do this bruce Lee says so"
"If you want to understand the truth in martial arts, to see any opponent clearly, you must throw away the notion of styles or schools, prejudice, likes or dislikes, and so forth. Then your mind will cease all conflict and come to rest"
page 17 tao of jeetkunedo
yer right he never said to drop style lol
Just move... Fixes the whole problem and you get to meet new people!

how is western boxing conflicting with traditional gongfu you have got to be kidding no way you are serious
notion? lol wow yer still trying to prove bruce lee wrong people have been trying for many years
ALL styles will work for training
if you want to learn self defense then learn a style that teaches self defense
if you want to learn forms take a style that teaches forms
yer picking a fight because i suggested a book by bruce lee and yer mad because you think hes wrong? wtf lol
fine hes wrong dont read the book my bad
so funny
ya i thought for sure youd be next
i really loved "youve never responded to any of my arguments"
musta missed the last 15 pages lol
wonder why he hates bruce lee so much
must hate modern styles
my club has 2 hardcore tradtional guys there that are kind of the same way
if you even mention bruce lee they get all pissed off
i shoulda suggested a book by chuck norris dammit coulda skipped all this crap
Reputation: 15how is fighting western style in a ring with a set of rules and gloves different than traditional kungfu?

Reputation: 372I'll ask you one last time: Are you acting stupid on purpose??
Seriously, are you saying that a jab or an uppercut or boxing steps are incompatible with traditional philosophy? Again NO THEY AREN'T.
Bruce Lee himself based his entire way of looking at martial science, on the old japanese water analogy, that did NOT stop him from employng boxing techniques. God damn it, how dense can you get?
I'm not comparing the entire arts, which I've made clear probably ten times by now, which you still fail to grasp. I'm going to assume you're a troll now, because you're certainly acting like one.
No, for the 100th time, I'm critizicing you for being BIASED. By first being biased about styles, and then secondly spreading your bias, and then thirdy telling a guy to go read a book that won't make sense to him in the first place.
You know what, how bout you tell him: Go find a club that drives you hard and teach you the basic of fighting. Find a self-defense course as well, or do some security guard training.
Don't go "lol do kung fu, but dont do tae kwond or karata cuz its more fancy lol" when it's blatant bullshit.

Reputation: 13OK let me sum up the arguments here.
THERE IS NO MARTIAL ART THAT IS BETTER THAN THE NEXT!
Each art brings it's own glory to the table. Picking up multiple martial arts is even better, unfortunately I only have time for one. It all comes down to what you like, and especially your body structure. If you are 6"2 and weight 145 lbs like myself don't pick up boxing or grappling (unless it's JuJitsu). If you are 5"0 and weight 200 lbs don't pick up Tae Kwon Do or many forms of Kung Fu.
It is completely up to you what to do. Or better yet just learn how to run.

Reputation: 372That's why I asked you if english was your first language... I never tried to prove Bruce Lee wrong in the first place. The only thing I ever said was to not accept everything blindly, which would be opposed to what he wrote in the first place. I only ever asked you to show some prudence and not be so biased. I mean, that shouldn't be hard for you, if you truly follow Jeet Kune Do.
