Chinese Styles

I thought Clandestine meant secret...
Not talked about...
Hidden.

The current issue of Inside Kung Fu (Feb. 2003) has an article on ngor chor (ngo cho), though it tries to relate it to JKD.

I teach Clandestine Black Dragon Kenpo Karatejutsu & Butokutsuru Ryu Kenpojutsu. The Black Crane Kung Fu was mentioned as another chinese style, which was suppose to be what this posting is about. The changes were made to black crane kung fu by Shaolin. Why, it did not say or justify. The Black Crane information came from the Shaolin Gung Fu Institute online.

So your saying the Chin Na system was changed by shoalin and called Crane. But that doesn't mean the original Chin Na system was changed, just the new system created. Right ?

Probably gonna mess the name up. But the Lohan Fist. Or there is also the Long Fist, unless they're the same. Chinese MA mess me up.

 

[dogma173]

I know several styles, wing chun, choy li fut, crane, hungar, Dragon, jeet kuen do, eagle claw. There way more styles I just listed the ones that came to mind.

I'm completely ignorant when it comes to Chinese styles, but I am very interested in learning one and I am going to research some this summer to determine what I will study. I'm surprised (and a bit disoriented) at the enormous quantity of them -- how do you guys keep track of them? I guess what I'm really wondering is how I can find out which kind I might be interested in?
There are many different styles of swordsmanship in Japan, but they can typically be organized into five or six types, with further subdivisions in those types. With Chinese MA, all I know is that there is Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Wing Chun (which is a later derivative of Kung Fu?), and also an assortment of internal arts. Basically, what's the best way of looking at the whole world of Chinese martial arts from the perspective of someone who is looking for a style?

Thanks!

Do you know them? I doubt you really "know" them

This might be hard to find, but the nationalists under Chaing tried to compose a comprehensive list of all the extisting CMAs in the 1930s. I think they ended up with something like 6100 external styles and something like 20-odd internal ones - while many of these may be substyles or variations on a theme, and many have surely died out in the cultural revolution, a comprehensive list will end up very, very long.

 

[mantis]

shaolin.com has a pretty good list
also shaolinwolf.com

Huo Fist, Drunken Fist, and i have to repeat mantis

 

[funnytiger]

let's not forget jow ga! :ultracool

 

[7starmantis]

Do you practice Jow Ga? I've always had an interest in that system. My sifu knows a few Joe Ga forms, I'm about to learn one of them I believe its called Small Tiger?

Xue...I was about to repost that link that you was so gracious to supply me with in the other styles thread.
Glad to see you back and how was China?

I will, my sifu keeps that form as one of his favorites to perform. He went to a tourney several years back and beat a jow ga school with that form so now he wont teach it to just anyone! Haha, hopefully I can make it look good enough to not make him regret teaching it to me HE says if I learn it I have to make it look good.

wow. that school should be ashamed of itself. letting someone from a different style use their form and beat them with it. *shakes head*

i'd love to see a video clip of you doing it. there a quite a few subtle nuances to the form that i want to see if you sifu caught! i'm going to buckle down and make some clips of myself doing some forms. a little nervous, but I am ready for my close-up mr. demille! :ultracool

Heh, yeah thats why he's proud of it I think I couldn't tell you how much trouble I would be in to have a Jau Ga student come and beat my bung bo form! Eeewww, man that would be bad
