For a while I have not done much Martial Art training as I guess I lost my focus and my instructor just giving up teaching came as a blow! I had practice Shaolin Long Fist for 9 years! I was doign Wing chun at the same time but the numbers dropped and I lost interest. I tried Jeet Kune do for 2 weeks but I guess I didn't feel comfortable in the class plus I didn't like the payment system. So I've been thinking about giving White Crane a go, does anyone here study it and what is it like as an art?

White crane will be closer to Wing Chun than it is to northern longfist. It has similar stances, but it is considerably "softer" than wing chun. of course, it depends on yout teacher and the lineage, there are different branches of white crane which have different forms and expressions.

Hi Tony,

I teach Minghequan (Calling Crane) of Great Master Ruan Dong of Fuzhou, China. Calling Crane is perhaps the most internal of the various White Crane styles. Please feel free to visit our humble web site at:

Also please get in touch with me via email:

I'd like to discuss this further with you.
