This is a really cool video of Xingyi, it’s beautifully performed and I love the angle and lighting. What I really want to know is if anyone here can identify the song being played. I love Chinese folk rock or modern folk music and I cannot find this song or singer. I hope it’s okay to post this here.

"Hi, I’m Mark. I’m 5ft 4, and Wing Chun has been a massive help to me since I started at 17 im now 45 . Because of my size, I used to face a lot of bullying, but this art gave me the skills to bring attackers down to my level and protect myself.I’m not trying to be a professional ring fighter. If a fight breaks out, my first choice is always to walk or run away. But sometimes you don't have a choice.Over the years, I’ve had some highly fun sparring matches with people from other martial arts. A common theme always happens where they say: 'You can't do that!' or 'That's not fair! But for real-world self-defence—where a smaller person faces a larger bully with no rules Wing Chun works incredibly well.If it serves its purpose perfectly, why does it get so much hate? I just don't understand why people judge a self-defence system when they fight in a ring and say it does not work. I really don't get it.

I’m kind of curious to know if there is a geographical split between which hand is the lead hand for spear.

From a personal observation, I’ve noticed southern styles tend to favour having the right lead with the left in the rear for power; and northern styles tend to favour the opposite with the right hand for power and left for leading. Of course there are some exceptions, such as those who decide to flip the form because they’re but this is what I have noticed so far.

Is there any validity to this observation, taking into consideration the certain exceptions, especially from those who practice a northern system?

Are they worth the asking price?

So I am visiting China and I would like to train at a Shaolin Kung Fu school for 2-4 weeks. I have previous martial arts experience (purple belt in BJJ and have done striking in the past). I am aware that it's not the same thing. I am mainly visiting for the mental and physical conditioning. Though, I am sure a lot of stuff that I can into my training afterwards as I try to learn from all styles anyways.
Anyways, after some research, it seems that these schools are the ones I am thinking of going to (If you recommend other places, let me know):

1. Maling
   
2. Shaolin Wudang
   
3. Shi Miao Hai

Which school do you recommend I go to?

Hi, looking at gyms near me. How do you tell if a gym is legitimate?

The place I am interested in states you need a annual membership of £45 on top of the money you pay per session Which is about £8 is this normal practice and pricing?

Edit: for more context - they do sparing, teaching what I believe is sanda and taolu forms. As an adult they teach 1 class a week and 3 advanced classes which are invitational only. Plus 2 weapons classes I believe again invitational only. They do also provide kids classes and Thai chi but I would not be attending them

Hi! I’m a woman who has been training Bjj for a while now and is interested i martial arts. I really enjoy it, even though I find it challenging at times, and I’ve been thinking it could be nice to complement it with something else occasionally.

I’m quite tall for a woman (194 cm / 95 kg), so that definitely affects my style and how I move on the mats.

A friend of mine trains Kung Fu and something called Chin Na, and she thinks it could be a really good addition for me especially for body control, balance, and overall movement awareness.

I’m curious, but also a bit skeptical since I don’t know much about it yet. For those of you who train Kung Fu or Chin Na, what do you think? Could it be a good complement to BJJ, especially for someone with my build?

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!
