That is so true - even though i stopped training Chow Gar a year ago, it is now in every breath of my being!

I\'ve praticed Wushu for almost 7 years... and it\'s still one of my loves .

Our website is www.luoxi.it ...I\'m sorry but the English version has almost never been updated, but in the Italian one you can find some videos

Uh, when I was younger I praticed Judo for 8 years.

Unfortunately, London is where i used to live, so unfortunately its a bit too far away... 200 miles

I thought you were asking for a link, then I read what you wrote again. :duh: :redface:

That\'s exactly why I\'ll take Taijiquan over Judo and Jiujitsu any day. When I practised those two arts, they left me feeling empty, by comparison. Not that there\'s anything wrong with them, they were just not for me. The depth in something as deceptively simple as Silk Reeling still astonishes me.

I have tried kung fu in the past but with my build it doesn\'t really work out to well.

Nowdays its a mix of jeet kune do and street jeet ( a lot less subtle ) with a bit of groundwork for fun.

For anyone interested, my kickboxing group has a session coming up with a guy who does the Russian martial art practised by the Spetsnatz (I can\'t remember the name now)

Should be interesting!!lol

Is it Systema?

That\'s the one - I KNEW it was something that reminded me of something else (The paint company)

Anyway - as well as that - I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a decent 2nd hand bo staff - or if anyone had one they didn\'t want...
