so i’ve been wanting to take up another martial arts class- i havent been in one for years- and i’ve decided on kung fu, mainly because of a long childhood interest and it’s cheaper than all the karate classes and stuff.
so i know that i want to take Kung fu now. but there’s 2 different schools that i can choose from- i understand it’s how you practice the art that matters, but i want to know which one i should take that will suit me the most
on one hand there is the Shaolin kung fu school- they also offer some praying mantis style and tai chi
but then there’s the other one- Plum Blossom kung fu. choy li fut?
i want something that’s aggressive, and all about combat. i see some styles are -forgive the rudeness- more along the lines of sport or dancing and i dont want that.
i called the two places and the shaolin place told me to come down and take a look but the other school said they are Not wushu and they are about combat- but if i want to check it out i gotta buy a 3 month trial period!
so yea- im looking for cool kicks/punches/spinykicks
any help would be great
Alright! thanks for the replies so far- yea, i thought it was pretty sketchy that the choy li fut Plum Blossom class wants 3 months in advance too
im going to check out the Northern Shaolin one tonight hopefully

i just want to make sure it’s not more of a wushu class- i want strikes and combat
