william,\n\nI don't think I would seriously take any cues from television or movies...scripted, choreographed sword fights have little to do with the real deal...which is what kenJUTSU (sword techniques) is all about as compared to ken DO (way of the sword)...not knocking kendo, however...\n\nThere are some very good videos and books out there which outline the basics of sword techniques, beginning with proper grip and foot work and basic cutting strokes.  \n\nGood Luck!

im unfamiliar with los angeles but i do know how chinese people think. in general chinese guys like to gamble, so if you hang around casinos, you should be able to find a guy. another option is the race track. seafood is something else a chinese likes. if you hang around seafood restraunts that will work. also chinese have their own supermarkets, so try hanging around chinese supermarkets. chinese guys also like to swim, so go to places with swimming pools. like i said, i dont know la, but around where i live, the neighbourhood community centre pool is filled with chinese guys. there are also chinese churches. if youre into that kinda of sht.

I've got 32 years experience in a southern Chinese style of kung fu - (a five family system of Tsoi-Li-Ho-Fut-Hung ga) and hold a Master's rank.  This is a fighting style, not show or artsy style of kung fu.\n\nAs you said, there are hundreds of Chinese styles and some are mere showiness, with little, if any, actual fighting prowess.  However, there are also many which are devastating fighting arts.  They are brutal, direct, and deadly.  It depends on the style as well as the teacher and the student.  The best fighting art in the world is useless if the teacher can't teach it or the student refuses to do what is necessary to make the art effective -  i.e, train, work correctly, and not namby-pamby about as if the name of the art itself was like some magical talisman which protects against all comers.\n\nI have seen some outstanding Northern Shaolin style fighters! and I do NOT use the term fighter loosely.  These people were world class fighters by anyone's definition, anywhere.  I've also seen some who were so caught up in useless idiocies that all an actual fighter could do was to laugh at their sheer lunacy.\n\nThe sad thing is that many schools, not only Chinese, but Japanese, Korean, Thai, etc., in the country have degenerated into sort of McDojo's - run to get as many people thru as quickly as possible with as little skill as could possibly be imparted.\n\nThere are also some absolutely top FIGHTING schools in almost all of the arts (I'm not one who believes all styles are equally worthwhile - some are simply for show or sport ) but I am one who firmly believes that if someone in a good fighting style doesn't train well, doesn't take it seriously, doesn't fight full out when it's necessary - then that someone will be creamed by someone who's trained in an inferior art, but who took it very seriously.\n\nSo to try to answer you question a bit more directly - I think kung fu (again remembering that we're talking about hundreds of styles when we use this term) can be one of the most effective fighting arts on the planet.  It can also be one of the biggest jokes, depending on which art and which student we're discussing.  \n\nIf you are looking at any particular art for yourself, the best thing to do is to visit the school  Don't make your decision based on one day.  Visit a few times.  See how the people interact with the instructor and with each other.  If they don't even seem like they like each other or are obnoxiously cocky - run, don't walk, to the exit.  Are you required to sign a contract or do they go month to month and want you there because you want to learn?  (Both have their advocates, I'm a definite no-contract kind of guy).  Do they charge you to test? Or is the testing part of what they do because they are supposed to help you learn?  All of these are things you should find out and evaluate for yourself.\n\nIf you want a fighting art for self defense, find out how much time is actually put into that.  How much into form work.  How much into weapons skill.  If you are looking for competition, then find a school which specializes in that - not necessarily stuff that's actually effective on the street - but stuff that wows the judge and the audience.  So, basically, find what you want and go with it.

How about from their parents. I think the best way would be to go visit Asia and get a real feel for their culture.

Hey, people, if you don't know the answer, don't just try to grab points.\n\nKung Fu is a family of martial arts.  Some of the forms inclue Wing Chung, San Soo, Shao Lin, and others.  They all encompass different techniques.  San Soo, for example, encompasses the animal forms, such as Tiger, Crane, Dragon, etc.\n\nTae Kwon Do is a form of MArtial Art that is very strongly focused on Discipline and kicks.  Either art is effective if used properly, and they transitionalize well together.\n\nBear in mind that there are Two differnet generalizations of Kung Fu:  So Style, which is Northern China, and Ki Style which is Southern Style.  Southern China is mountainous, and the moves with Ki Style are made for closed in areas where you need to use closer attacks and defenses.  Northern China holds the vast Gobi Desert.  Kung Fu from this region Is open, and the moves are large and a lot of ariels.  both are beautiful in their own right.\n\nTae Kwon Do is much more likely to be taught correctly in America than is Kung Ku, because MOST, not all, teachers do not separate the different philosophies of Kung Fu, and teach a generic form.
