penquin Member Registered: 03/31/08 Posts: 130 Loc: Kimberly, WI, USA	I hope someone can help me find a school in Tai chi or Kung fu in or around the Appleton area. I would like to learn a low jarring style to learn. Kung fu and Tai chi both seem to flow . _________________________ being smarter then the average man, my mistakes tend to be worse then the average man

puffadder Member Registered: 04/29/07 Posts: 250 Loc: UK	Exactly right butterfly. That's one of the ways to tell a kung fu cowboy from the real deal.

GungFuTy Member Registered: 01/28/05 Posts: 88 Loc: UT	Quote: Quote: Some flow better than others. All genuinely traditional CMA flows. There are so many qualifiers there that I have to disagree. Not to mention that its a fallacy of confusing cause and effect. Just because many Chinese Martial Arts "flow" does not mean that "All" Chinese martial arts must flow. In short, just because it has flow it does not make it a chinese martial art. I mean if that were the case we would have to include chinese forms of dancing and modern wushu I mean come on! "All" "genuinely traditional"... seems to me like there is room for discussion here. Not to mention the definition of flow. _________________________ Maybe thats why I took up boxing.
