HunggarEgg,
Just cross training with other sports like soft gymnastics and Tai Chi will do. Because one problem that Hung Gar students quite often has is that they have hard techniques and conditioning anchored in their body and mind. Such that there is not much softness in their skills. As a common comment goes, they move like stiff robots.

Among Judo's most basic, yet greatest aspects, breakfalls, can be life (or body) savers in themselves. Just this morning, on my early-morning walk, I tripped and fell. In the semi-darkness, the nasty bump in the street I tripped over was nearly invisible. I walk at a brisk pace, and when I tripped, the bump caught both of my feet and I fell straight forward and down, FAST. My body instinctively did a Judo front fall, almost perfectly, in spite of not having practiced it in decades. No injuries except for slightly skinned/bloody palms, skinned knees, and a slight elbow bruise. And most of that wouldn't have happened if that paved street hadn't had an extremely rough, 'rocky' textured surface. As it was, I got right back up and continued on, barely missing a beat. A wrong fall would have possibly caused serious injuries. I was really glad that nobody saw that.
Even if something like that happens only once during your lifetime, it's well worth the benefits of having trained how to safely fall, regardless of your system or style. Not all aspects of self-protection involve fighting or being attacked by other people or animals.

Well, I would agree with most western arts have a longer written history. That may mean they are older or it may mean, other places either did not record things in writing or glyphs or those things were lost.
But if I go by what you suggest then yes, western arts are the older arts. Also, Martial Arts is a western term.

Everything is a lie.
And I do not know how far Hung Gar goes back. My Karate. ITF . Isshin Ryu and Shaolin Kempo is not even 100 years old heck maybe 50-60 years for one ? I don't care to count.
Okay, ITF is Shotokan. So I guess we could say that is is maybe 100 years old.

Hi -
I've met many great YHG practitioners and would be happy to speak with you about Shuai Jiao
You're welcome to try one of our Shuai Jiao classes on either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday in Brooklyn

Isshinryu was founded in 1956. Most classical Karate was systemized, in the 1930's. You could stretch to the 1920's if you really tried.
Modern Hung Ga was arranged about 1870.
You can have Kung Fu in cooking, it really has nothing to do with fighting!

yes sir I did, I actually read some of it too. I would just like to buy a paperback version as well as this book used to go for £100's when it was out of print and also I would like to collect a few good marital arts booksI also don't like the idea of printing an entire book - would just like a physical copy as well that I could read away from a computer screen.
