Is there even a place where you can just learn She-Quan or is it a sub-catagory along with Praying Mantis and others?

How can you possibly say all arts are equal?
How can you say that all arts, Tai Chi, Praying Mantis Kung Fu, Aikido, MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, etc, are all equally effective systems?
To be effective, a method must have experimentation and observation, just like any science.
Full contact provides that experimentation. Video provides ample chance for observation.
Speaking of which, MMA contests like the UFC have proven time and time again which techniques and which strategies work.
And before you launch into a speech about the differences between the UFC and a “real fight” (which often exists in some weird fantasy world) let me say right now that I have been a police officer and am currently a martial arts instructor for the military. I KNOW what a real fight looks like. It looks a lot more like the UFC than it does any “traditional” martial arts class I’ve seen.
I just don’t understand the mentality involved in the “all arts are equal” philosophy.
I’d love it if I got answers from both the “all arts are equal” folks and the “90% of traditional arts are bullshit” camp.
Let me have it. Ten points to the best argument, no matter if I agree with you or not.
Questions on Kung Fu.?
Hello, whenever I look at info on Chinese Martial arts they mention styles like Drunken Monkey(:D Sorry just had too) , Eagle Claw or N.;S. Praying Mantis. If one took Kung Fu lessons do they teach all of these styles or what? Thanks for the info.

I want to learn martial arts but not sure of which one?
I keep asking my mum to get me into martial arts and she keeps saying, “I’ll get you into the Korean one down in Melbourne” I don’t care which martial arts I do as long as I learn how to do self defence for myself. Personally I want to do martial arts that involve Avoid and evading. Kind of like Akido and Bagua, Hsing Yi and maybe some others like Northern Shaolin style of Kung Fu, Hung Gar, Tai Chi and Chu Gar Southern Praying Mantis Kung Fu.
If you know any of these martials arts avaliable in Australia, Victoria then please tell me 
.
