Style based on water?
Many KF styles place great importance on the water aspect because water just yields as it gets hit. But the force of water hitting, ala tidal wave, is very great. At the same time, the yin/yang outlook juxtaposes the immovable earth against water.





I practice Shaolin dragon. While our art puts some emphasis on the water aspect, there are other internal styles that place even greater emphasis on it. There is a video on youtube that showed a water style of KF.

Reply:Hi there





There are many Japanese and Chinese arts that incorporate the feeling of water into there practice. In Japanese there is a term called the Godai. This incorportates water as one of the elements. All forms, techniques etc can be performed to incorporate this type of feeling. A good instructor will be able to demonstrate the difference between them. Some instructors do it already without even knowing it.





Best wishes
