Where can I find free dvd's on how to learn wing chun Kung Fu?

I wouldn't recommend practicing any martial art by DVD, because, beginning students learn better in a community type environment [working out with others their same age/ size. New students also need to be watched/ corrected by an instructor. Also, kung fu is a misnomer. =Kung fu in Chinese means to excel at something. Chinese martial arts are called gung fu.


I have been learning Kung Fu shaolin for 8 months but don't know how to use Kung Fu on the enemy?

Your instructor is who you need to talk to. Many of them will not discuss application until you have reached a specific level of ability and maturity. Until that point, do your best to master the moves you have been talk.

How is shaolin traning?

If they are willing to reveal it publicly, for an official curriculum, you are going to have to contact the Shaolin Corporation. Yeah, you read right; they are incorporated. The reason the Shaolin temple incorporated, was because too many people were claiming to disseminate knowledge of Shaolin Kung Fu that wasn't authentic. If you try it now, you can get sued or slapped with a cease and desist court order. Perfectly justified because the practice of teaching a "martial art" that isn't authentic is dangerous. I am not sure though, if they will be willing to disclose training information, as there is still a degree of secrecy. This is what I mean; the Shaolin temple is no longer prejudiced against non-Chinese the way it used to be, it is willing to teach anyone willing to learn Kung Fu. HOWEVER, if you want to know exactly how they train, I think you need to be an actual student. Where most people in the western world scoff at the idea of learning martial arts from a book, in the Shaolin temple, it is no laughing matter. In days past, on rare ocassions thieves managed to steal temple scrolls, they used them to teach themselves Kung Fu, and caused no end of problems against people who did not know how to fight. The Shaolin temple would then have to send a monk, and hunt the man down. The convention in the western and Chinese world of martial arts is "you can't learn martial arts from a book," HOWEVER, most Shaolin monks do not scoff at the idea, and take it very seriously if someone were to seriously study a martial arts text. Why is this? Because, in the temple's past, that is how techniques got stolen. In fact, most Shaolin monks frown on all the martial arts manuals out there; you don't know who will get their hands on those books. The dangers are 1) first and most common, they won't learn the martial art very well, and be an embarassment to the world of Kung Fu. 2) the second less common danger is that they will learn it TOO well, and be a danger both to themselves and others. If I were you I would just contact the temple in China. However, far as how they arrange their day, I am not sure they are willing to disseminate that information. While they may not reveal techniques, a Shaolin schedule COULD for example, be used as a training method by a criminal, possibly a Triad or a Yakuza. Revealing a training schedule doesn't reveal techniques, but that doesn't mean that training PRINCIPLES won't be leaked that way, and in martial arts, the principles of training, matter more than the techniques. Think about it; anything involving physical work out there has some sort of philosophy or pattern of thinking. If you were to reveal when you work out, what time of the day, a rival athlete COULD arrange their own training method using your schedule ideas. There is no danger of knowledge being stolen, but there is still a danger of someone misusing the discipline. Again, to a point, the modern temple is still highly secretive; they are more open to who gets to study there, but a lot of techniques, even the training schedule itself, is revealed only to students, far as I know.

How did china people learn to spek Chinese?

It's like every country. People learn their mother tone without 'learning'. When Chinese kids are little, they learnt fomr their parents and other people's talking. But when they need to go to school, they learn how to write characters, how to write articles.

How did Imi Lichtenfeld design Krav Maga?

From Judo and a close relative of collegiate level catch wrestling, he took the grappling techniques which he felt could be done with the greatest efficiency, and by the most people, young or old. He added only very few moves of his own. Far as strikes, mostly modified Boxing. However that is the ORIGINAL form; modern Krav Maga has some elements of Kung Fu, and Muay Thai. Some; it has also absorbed military combatives from around the world. If you are looking for flashy and showy though, Krav Maga is not for you. Its all about efficiency and incapacitation. Although to be honest, you'd be just as well served taking up Judo, and doing Boxing on the side. Seriously man if you know Judo and Boxing, everything else is a waste of time, if self defense is what you're looking for. If you know Kyokoshin Karate then THAT becomes a waste of time, many people swear by Kyokoshin, claiming its the only martial art you'll ever need. And, if you know AUTHENTIC Shaolin Kung Fu, taught by an actual Shaolin monk or the advanced student of a shaolin monk, then THAT becomes a waste of time. If I had to recomend styles......... 1) Shaolin Kung Fu 2) Kyokoshin Karate 3) Judo 4) Boxing Tai Chi Chuan is said to posses even greater power, owing to that chi energy stuff, but assuming you believe what is considered by most, even in China, to be superstition, even then developing such "powers" even in legend, is said to take DECADES. Even Shaolin Kung Fu can be learned and perfected in only 3 years. Why the 10 year rule then? The 10 year rule in Kung Fu tradition is just there to ensure the student has a good work ethic; the truth is most Kung Fu styles, all the techniques, can be learned in only one year, assuming your body is fit and ready. Basically, its one year to prepare the body, one year to learn all the techniques and forms, one year to make the techniques perfect, and an additional 7 years to make sure you won't get lazy in your training. However if you were well-raised, and already have a strong work ethic and can be trusted to keep practicing, I suppose in these modern times you can ignore those extra 7 years with Sifu. Seriously though man if you have a chance to learn Shaolin Kung Fu, don't waste your time with anything else.


Do you need to capitalize kung fu?

Normally kung fu will not be capitalized. If you are referring to a specific style, such as White Crane Kung Fu, you would capitalize all the words. Or if referring to the the television show Kung Fu.
