Wich style of kung-fu should I choose?

I'm going to sign Drop Bear up for class at the Jow Ga school near him.

I would be surprised if there is one within a thousand ks of me.

I can't recall where in Australia you're at (I'm thinking one of the schools you linked was in Brisbane), but if I'm wrong and you're near syndey- there's a school in Sydney for Jow Ga.

@drop bear @JowGaWolf If I was right about Brisbane-found this school in Brisbane. Looks to be Jowga kung fu. About Us | Lam Tu Luan Kung Fu School

They mention a sparring workout-but misspell sparring (unless it's spelled differently over yonder).

Some say on other sites and Wing Chun is more practical nowdays, shaloin is more for shoe off, others say that wing chun misses a lot of good things.
By the way this is the main site for the Chang Dung Shang site

I liked the two wing chun classes, but gonna check out this one as well, and decide wich I like better.

Hi there!

I want to learn kung-fu. I don't want to compete or anything like that. Just for self defense and discipline.

I took 2 wing chun lessons with one of my friends. I liked it, but he said it was a bit difficult for him at first. He took kyokoushin karate like 10 years ago and compared it to that. I didn't learn any martial arts as of now. He said we should check out other styles of kung-fu too.

There are Ch'ang Dung Sheng Shaolinf Kung Fu, Xing Yi Quan Shaolin Kung Fu, and there are a few other Wing Chun schools as well. I tried to read upon them. Usually what I find is that win chun os more straight forward and easier to master than shaolin kung-fu.

What are your opinions on theese styles? Wich is the easiest to master, and wich is the most effective in your opinion?

Thank you all for your help!

If I was looking for a Chinese art to study, I would investigate the Chang Dongsheng school. He was one of my Teacher's Teacher. My teacher was his assistant for a while teaching at the police(I believe it was police) academy. The Chang Dongsheng school is known for excellent kung fu. Grand Master Chang was undefeated in his art. I would hope this branch holds high standards.

The Jow Ga school looks legit, too.

May I ask who is your teacher?
