Hello,
I guess this might go in the beginner's section, but it relates specifically to Chinese arts.
I am built like a defensive tackle, 6'4" 300 pounds. I know I have to lose about 50 lbs or so to be in proper shape, but my question was:
Have any of you seen or heard of anyone shaped like a refrigerator successfully performing kung fu (drunken gorilla style)LOL!
I am interested in the Southern Shaolin styles, Hung-ga (tiger-crane) because I have a very strong lower body and can generate a lot of power from low stances, but cannot perform any acrobatics or high kicks or lightning fast footwork techniques (eagle claw, etc).
Any input as to what, if any, Chinese style might be complimentary to my body proportions. Even, perhaps any other discipline that you think I should try.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers!
PS: Now that I think of it, Sammo Hung is a disciple of Wing Chun, no?
