Flying Crane said:Watch Jackie Chan's Drunken Master II. While it is somewhat of a comedy, and the drunken aspect is theatrically overdone a bit, it is a great movie and will give you a general sense of what it is all about. His character in the movie, Wong Fei-Hung (a real Chinese folk hero, known for his practice of Hung Gar style, and his development of the Fu/Hok Tiger and Crane form) frequently gets drunk, and this makes his fighting more powerful. This is not how it is done in real life, but makes for a fun movie.
I think you could learn a lot about motion by studying the lessons. Drunken style chooses mobility over stability; however, the student is introduced to effectively striking while in a constant state of motion and while using more than one part of your body as a base. I feel the name "Drunken" is what scares you. It is, perhaps, a derogitory term for a whole system of fightingthat has great merrit.mjd said:I know there is a style that uses the deception of a drunk, but does anyone really think this is a real art to study, seems it would be more along the lines of a tactical option along the lines of the crazy defense.
All funny stuff aside, would you real study this method of defense, sounds goofy to me.
I usually do better when sober.
