I will soon start northern shaolin kung fu this year and have no experience with any martial arts yet. The reason for it is because I think it will be a great for me to be healthy and stay in shape. A good source of endorphines also. I'm not too exaclty sure what to expect yet. All I see is these cool Kung Fu moves and say to myself wow I'd really like to be able to do that or do a backflip. I am undecided between White Crane Kunfu or Northern Shaolin. I heard first you gotta really do intense training to your body. This year I've been pretty much a potato couch in front of computer at work then at home. Any person with experience can share or discuss. I will training with spears dagger and broad sword later on in my courses which I am very exited about. I think it's a great alternative to pumping irons which I don't particularly like.

Do you want to learn how to fight or just how to do a backflip ;o?
Does this place you will be going to have a website?

Do they spar? If so, how hard and with what kinds of rules? Do they have any grappling/ground fighting?

Do you have to sign contracts? What's the price etc.. Yeah. If you actually want to learn how to fight, a much safer bet is to find yourself a brazilian jiu jitsu club or a MMA club.

http://www.tung-fu.com or http://www.bullshido.com are pretty good sites, on bullshido someone might even have heard of the place you are looking into. Be vary though, bullshido = NOT friendly ^_^ They make teamliquid seem nice which is no mean feat considering our bandwagoon power~!

tung-fu is smaller, even MORE pro-mma than bullshido (which is pro anything that works basically) but I like i better OO

Sounds like a great way to be healthy and get in better shape. Navy seal training is great too, I really like their routine. Do you mean epinephrine? Sounds awesome, and yes you should definitly do some intense weight training and endurance training. Don't do much with the weights though, just a bit of pull ups and stuff, i'd mainly focus on bootcamp style conditioning to get prepaired. I figure a soldier would be able to adjust fairly quickly, so get out there and move those legs soldier!

Kick boxing clubs are a decent way to go too if the Shaolin doesn't end up being what you want. Our big local kick boxing club is taught by Chuck Liddell (the Ultimate Fighting guy).

On topic, have you gone to check out the facility yet? Maybe watch a few classes? I'm always wary of martial arts schools since a lot of them seem to be bullshit. I wouldn't go in with the idea of Kung Fu movies... think work-out instead...

No hes wrong, if you do want to learn how to fight there is no alternative(this is not opinion but a fact). I have been in many martial arts since i was 4. Northern and Southern Shao lin are both great. You will learn a lot its a great way to get in shape learn to defend yourself and have fun.


I was in kickboxing too great great martial art, mui thai kickboxing. That and shaolin are the best out there. All the others I took found to be "less" then the others. Such as basic tae kwon do or something along those lines. Of course I haven't experienced all martial arts but those two are really the best.

Illuminati WHO is wrong?

If you want to learn how to fight and whatever it is you take doesn't teach groundfighting, it's incomplete. If you don't spar relatively hard and often, it sucks. -_-

Muay Thai is the superior standup art (there are individual exceptions of course), BJJ the superior groundfighting art and regular wrestling is great too -_-~ If you go to a MMA gym you get ALL of this.

Unless you're pretty advanced, don't try to use your martial arts knowledge in a real fight. Most likely you'll get your skull bashed in while trying to do some move.

I'm just pointing out that you are stating an opinion, not a fact. I'm sure a lot of people learn to fight through other means.

Edit: Oh, that was directed at FA, not me. Oh well.

Agreed. Do it for the workout, not the supposed leet fighting skills you will obtain.

Maybe if you knew enough english to form a coherent sentence I'd understand what exactly it is that I have said with which you do not agree.

Bullshido.com is a site filled with prepubescent little witch hunters.

Bunch of fucking morons. Please stop going there.

Bullshido isn't "pro anything that works", those kids dont even know what does work.
