[funkytuqe]

There are tones of matial arts schools in this city, my girlfriend teaches at Arashsi-Do Karate, and i have a friend that teaches Kung foo.
That acrobatic stuff is amaizing on that vid, there are not many people who can do that.

[1Xuan1]

well i know there is tons of matrial arts i am just wonder where they teach shoalin wushu

[Alexs]

The ultimate fighting discipline is:
1. Jiu-Jitsu
2. Wrestling
3. Boxing (kickboxing)

All other marcial arts is total useless BS. Watch the Ultimate Fighting championships and see who wins em.

There's a shaolin wushu school in Calgary, but they don't really teach the acrobatic stuff. That's more show than fighting. But you can check it out www.shaolinwushu.ca. Talk to Mr Tan, if you get the chance. Small guy, but his hands are like rocks. They've got some cool pics of the school in Singapore too.

I did quite a few years ago, but got too busy with school. It's a very traditional approach. They teach fighting (sparring) and forms (tiger, crane, etc), based on your abilities. ie, he's not going to teach a 6'3 240 lb guy acrobatics. They'll do the demonstration stuff too, breaking bricks and boards, every once in a while. The conditioning that is done is pretty cool too. Mr Tan's hands are so thick, at least 1 1/2 times mine, and when he makes a fist there are dips between the knuckles, it's all filled in with flesh. It's impressive.

Not sure how the conversation went, but if he said that he wanted to learn martial arts for movies, he would have been given the cold shoulder. Mr Tan doesn't teach for the money, he does it to pass down the knowledge and the traditions. Jeremy was one of his senior students when I was there, by now he must have studied with him for 10 years.
Sorry to hear about Zorro's experience, Mr Tan was always courteous to me, and invited me down to watch when I was still checking out schools. Far cry from the hard sell that I got from Temple Kung Fu. That was a joke.
