How do you test yourself to know if that shit even works in kung fu? I would assume you throw on gloves and go at it but it seems like a lot of schools are built on phoney respect for the teacher where no one questions his techniques or legitimacy.
In my town and in my experience 95 percent of schools are just bullshit but mabey there are kung fu places where you really do get to train.

You get back what you put into it.

Traditionally kwoons do not include free sparring into the curriculum.
That is up to the students.

It weeds out the ones who aren't serious.

So there are guys that get after it in kwoons? Do they make sure to use the "curriculum" or do matches devolve into wrestling/brawl?

Yes there most certainly is; but it's almost never during class time.

There is a big misunderstanding in Western society about the application of Kung Fu. Not all moves found within a form are meant to be applied in a fight.
Even the stances are not meant for practical fighting.

Much of the "nonsensical" movement of Chinese Martial Arts are to gain control over your body by developing your coordination and building upon your foundation to give you the added strength that can sometimes be needed in critical moments of a confrontation.

Other moves are purely cultural, intellectual, or philosophical in meaning.
These aspects are often not openly shared with outsiders.

TCMA incorporate a lot more than just fighting.
It's a way of life.

That's a pretty good explanation. More "traditional martial arts schools" should present themselves like that. I hate the fact that so many folks think they know something but would NOT be prepared to fight.
I forgot to mention that I also like rock climbing!

Care to post some videos of you drumming?

I was not a fan of Dracula
it was interesting to see the beginnings of the vampire but not much else

My mainstays are jogging, hiking, biking and intensive daydreaming.  If I'm not doing that I'm probably unhappy.  Other than that I tend to cycle through hobbies.  Lately I've been dabbling in 2d animation, researching a couple different subjects in books and on the internet, watching true-crime docs, and occasionally binging on video games.  I have a garden but don't put too much work in other than occasional weeding and watering most days.  I try to give some attention to my dogs every day, and of course I spend time wheeling and dealing to make ends meet but I never enjoyed the pursuit of money myself, that's more of a chore.

Some things that are sort of on the back-burner right now:

sketching/painting
guitar
sound editing
computers though I'm not really good at any programming language, I can build computers and like troubleshooting problems
working on cars and small motor devices
building sculptures/figures in the woods using found materials
finding and collecting artifacts including bottles, coins, maps, books, and other media.
hacky sack
people watching
