Kung Fu

If you are referring to the so-called Yin-Yang symbol--the symbol with two black and white tear drops chasing each other--it's proper name is "Taijitu." It, however, is not the official symbol for kung fu. It was a symbol for Daoist concepts long before it was associated with the popular style of Taijiquan.

I don't have specific information about individual Kung Fu teachers in Limassol, Cyprus. However, to find the best instructor, consider looking for recommendations from local martial arts schools, online reviews, or community forums. Visiting classes and assessing the instructor's experience, teaching style, and student feedback can also help you make an informed decision.

Dog Style Kung Fu, a traditional Chinese martial art, can be learned in various locations across the United States, particularly in schools or studios that specialize in Chinese martial arts. Major cities with significant martial arts communities, such as San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles, may have instructors or classes dedicated to this style. Additionally, online platforms may offer instructional videos and courses for those interested in learning at home. It's advisable to check local martial arts directories or forums for specific schools that teach Dog Style Kung Fu.

In general, all martial arts will be teaching and practicing very similar things. The human body only moves in certain ways, and that pretty much restricts variation. Both will work on strength, flexibility, balance and knowledge of how the body works. Sometimes, a martial arts class will also teach you the art's native language and history.

All martial arts are better or worse based on the amount of interest and dedication the practitioner puts into training them. There is no finite better or worse in martial arts, only the tests of time and fighting.

If you enjoy training Kung Fu, Karate, or Ninjutsu, then it is best to train what holds your interest and your efforts best, so you can achieve your goals to the fullest!

Interesting combinations though:

Muay Thai can be enhanced with certain Kung Fu's iron body training.

Karate can enhance throws and ranged attacks for Muay Thai.

Ninjutsu is generally illegal in sport fighting, but great to add to Muay Thai for dirty fighting and clinch work since it often implies Judo-esque throws and elbows/knees.

Good luck in your training!

Yes. Gentle fist is part of Kung-fu in east Asia.

Since a belt system was not originally used in Kung Fu but rather adopted from various Japanese systems the colours are more less the same as most Japanese styles. In order of lowest rank to highest rank they usually look something like this:

white belt / no sash - Beginner

yellow belt or sash

gold belt or sash

purple belt or sash

orange belt or sash

green belt or sash

blue belt or sash

brown belt or sash

red belt or sash

black belt or sash - Advanced

Often the purple belt is up closer to black and in some cases the red is after black rather than before like so:

Black Sash - advanced

Red Sash - Master

White Sash - Grand Master

This will vary from school to school

In wushu's case, usually the colour is worn because it matches the uniform.

Kung Fu was developed to solve the problem of physical fitness. According to legend the monks at the Shaolin temple were unable to focus and pay attention to the lectures of the Bodhidharma.

It helped them shut out the outside world and concentrate on learning with inner calm and peace.

The skills were also applicable to self-defense and allowed the monks to travel throughout China without falling victim to the bandits of the times. They were also highly sought after by the rulers to provide protection and help defeat other armies.

Yes. No question about it. On many levels Chinese Kung Fu is superior to American style Boxing. Kung Fu literally means hard work and accomplishment. So you could say it means a fighting style that is forged from lots of hard work. In many ways American Boxing is like this, but Kung Fu is technologically very advanced. You can work all day with a shovel, but you can accomplish so much more when you work with a tractor.

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.
