So I just enrolled in this club at my school. It is taught by Grandmaster Ch'ang Tung-sheng...yes the one never defeated in the all-China tournament.
They are all about effeciency. Like do what you need but no more. Nothing fancy they also use Tai Chi to "absorb" soft-energy.
I took Kenpo Karate as a kid for a few years but its all lost in translation.
Anyone else practice a form of Martial Arts?

yea I'm not into the weapons arts because seriously....what is the usefulness? You arent going to walk around with a big bamboo staff or a sword but you got your head, feet, and fists.

eagle claw is all about pressure points and a balance between inner and outer power.

and i wouldnt mind learning to use a staff proficiently, because many things can be used as a staff. you could use a tree branch if you have to. i wouldnt bother with sword training though, however it does help build your strength using them.

Funny, I think the same thing any time it's over 75, or if I know walking to class means my sloppy ass is gonna sweat.
