Hi all,
This is my first post so i would like to say hi to everyone. :asian:
I currently practice shotokan karate, and I have to say martial arts are definately my cup of tea. As much as I love my karate, I'm looking for something to complement the short, hard movements that shotokan uses. Some more fluid motions perhaps. I would also like to train in the use of the bo (that is what that wooden staff is called right ?). Do I assume correctly that Kung Fu has more fluid motions than karate ? And does Kung Fu practice the use of the bo, or are there even styles of chinese martial arts that concentrate on the use of the bo ?
A lot of question marks here, but mainly I'm wondering 2 things:
- Does Kung Fu have more fluid movements than karate (and would it be appropriate to complement my shotokan karate with a kung fu style ?)
- If so, is there a Kung Fu style which uses the bo extensively, or if available, which concentrates on the use of the bo ?
thanks in advance
