Why is animal kung fu not taught
I live in the UK ,London and have been looking for a gym to teach me but it seems that animal kung fu just doesn't exist , I see a lot of wing chug and tai chi and basic kung fu but apart from that nothing else is animal kung fu looked down upon or is it too special
I would love to learn monkey kung fu but there are no good books

There are many Kung Fu styles that include Animal forms or techqniques, i.e. Choy Lay Fut (sometimes written "Choy Lee Fut") or Hung Gar have a "Five Animal Form".

Generally the differnt animal represent differnt fighting tactics/movements/mindsets, which is very Kung Fu specific way of training. So wether or not they are called animal forms, many Kung Fu styles contain differnt fighting strategies. Jsut check some school near you and ask the coach or read teh curriculum.

Oh yeah, and since this is /asp/: no, you won't get a UFC fighter by training Kung Fu. And it's good if they have a sparring group.

But Kung Fu is fun as fuck, so as long as you don't plan to be the next World Champ, go for it.

>Can i get a good assault rifle for 100 bucks?
At that price point you need to find something on sale, but it's definitely achievable.
http://www.airsoftmegastore.com/1933-jg-airsoft-r36-hybrid-modular-carbine-hmc-tactical-aeg-rifle.aspx
Shop around, read reviews, pick a gun you like the look of etc.

>Can i start with just a handgun?
You can if you want, but it's not a good idea. A cheap but reliable AEG is better than most pistols of any price.

>What gear is essential?
1. Eye protection in the form of ANSI rated glasses/goggles (lower face protection is optional, depending how much you value your teeth)
2. Boots with ankle support i.e. not sports shoes
3. Durable clothing, surplus military clothing
After those, I suppose you will need webbing to carry magazines, water etc. But they are not absolutely necessary when starting out.

And that's why people make fun of you, Wu: The more you want to seem bad ass, the more ridiculous it looks.

Be modest, train hard and if you have actual results (not based on self-reporting, but on actual facts like "I had 5 fights and won 4 of them") you can speak up.

While I think it's great that you started Judo and Boxing, why so impatient? You should do what makes you happy and don't care so much about what other people think about you. Even if you were only training in Tai Chi people would respect you if you just stopped making stupid claims how you knocked down this or that guy and giving out semi-smart-ass advice all the time.

The key is talking about what you have actually experienced, not about some opinion out of your ass. And saying "I just started, but personally I think I'm the hot shit" is definately the latter one.

a bunch of times. fights are honestly pretty easy, not even being tuff >:( about it.

guys don't guard their legs, I have ended almost every fight I have been in with a round kick to the knee
on one occasion it was a round kick to the knee followed by a thrust front kick to the body because fuck you

although two non kick occasions stand out where a drunk doofus grabbed my shirt and I literally did a self defense class lesson one wrist capture, control into shoulder lock

and another time a guy grabbed my nipple and that just really pissed me off so I hammered him with a fucking elbow clean to the side of his head and he went out cold.

The arena would be evacuated immediated with the shooter detained. Any future Raws would be put into question immediately with the increasing risk to the wrestlers themselves, including the recent run-ins on the Shield guys.

After possibly a month or more of hiatus, they may start getting back into the swing of things. The United States Championship would most likely be dropped and they will try to continue as best they can, possibly trying to push Roman Reigns in Cena's place.

Hey /asp/, I'm a very inflexible person, and I want to change that.

Until recently, I only stretched after I jogged, and for example on the bend-down-with-straight-legs-and-try-to-touch-your-toes stretch, my fingertips only get like 10 cm / 4 inches from the ground, no closer.
I'm in my early thirties, never been very physically active aside from some light jogging. I'm pretty tall (197 cm / 6 foot 5 inches) and normal weight (90 kg / 200 lbs), although I still have a bit of a gut (22% fat according to a test I took recently).

I joined a local yoga class in the hope that that would help, but even though it's open for everyone, I have trouble with even the most basic exercises. For some exercises, I can't even assume the starting position or do the preparatory warm-up exercises. I'm still going to continue taking the class in the hope that it'll get a little better, but I'm hoping that there's other stuff I can try.

Do you guys have any tips, or links to interesting resources, about stretching, improving flexibility, ... Preferably aimed at (or relevant for) inflexible people like me.

Some extra questions :
Do your joints (and tendons etc) need rest after stretching, the ways muscles do? Can you do the same stretching routine every day, or is it better to do it every other day (or split it up, like that set of stretching exercises on even days and another set on odd days etc)?
It's generally best to stretch after you've finished exercising, as far as I know. Are there also advanced stretches (or advanced exercises) that it's best not to even do on the same day at all?
Or can I generally assume that as long as it doesn't hurt "too much" at that time, it's OK to do? (Because, at least in other areas, it's not that simple I think, for example muscles might need 48 hours of rest after heavy training, even though you might feel like you're ready to go after 24 hours, but that would result in far less optimal results).

Thanks!

>Do you guys have any tips

Stretch in the morning when you wake up and at night before you go to bed.

And keep it up, it's perishable. And coming from someone who was hyper flexible (can still do full splits, straddles are garbage now) if you don't continue stretching at least at maintenance levels you'll get really tight and be in a lot of pain (especially lower back because of tight hamstrings).

Thanks, looks like very interesting material! Much of it is way too advanced for me at the moment, but some of it I should be able to start practicing I think, and this way I have plenty of stuff to keep me busy in the future. And just knowing the English names helps for googling extra info :)

>>744668
Oh, twice per day, that's even more than what I was planning! The morning stretch will be hard to wedge in between getting up and leaving for work, but I suppose as long as it gets me to a decent level of flexibility faster, without harming me, it's worth giving it a shot!

When you're talking about having to keep it up, does that mean that if you become flexible and then lose it again due to neglecting your practice, you'll be significantly worse off than before?
Is that mainly because of the contrast with the period of good flexibility giving the impression of being worse off, or is it actual "objective" extra inflexibility or pain?
If, for some reason (sickness, injury, ...) you do neglect it for a while, how hard is it to work back up to a decent level (or your previous good level)? For strength or endurance, it's usually considered easier to get back to a certain level, than it was to get there the first time, but your comment would suggest that for flexibility, it might actually be harder?

I also thought of another question : how important is it to balance your stretching, both with itself (like flexibility in areas that are activated together for common movements) and with strength (like flexibility in a movement vs strength in the muscles that control the movement). And does that tend to become apparent automatically along the way, or do you have to really pay attention to it, to avoid negative consequences months or years later?
