redgajin is sayin some true stuff up there.
I learned kung fu from a street smart sensei, so it's a mix of both and he'd rather teach us how to ACTUALLY fight then be in a competition. we train with practice weapons and i bought myself a pair of huge wooden sticks that i can swing really fast. the thing is, on the street, if you sit there and try to do some kind of form, you're going to have a bad time. and a broken face. unless you train constantly on it, and even then, somebody is always faster.
though my favorite move is the first one orion linked.
