What is shaolin kung fu ? is it good ?
Shaolin Kung Fu is waaaaaay to complex to narrow down into one catagory. Some good shaolin kung fu styles are eagle claw kung fu, monkey kung fu, drunken kung fu, and tiger claw kung fu. Also I hear wing chun is good but I only know one of their techniques. Shaolin kung fu is one of the hardest styles to learn. Also if your interested in taking kung fu make sure its one of the older traditional styles as this new age stuff is mainly for show most of the time. It makes kung fu look bad

Reply: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 "tradition" 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 "red dog eat shoe and is cheap in barn".





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 "we are too deadly to train our stuff" is full of it. Now obvoulsy there are always going to be some things you can't train (breaks with full intent, etc.) for obvious safety reasons, however if most of your style can'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.

Reply: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.
