I think it is important we learn from nature and this is why animal kungfu is so important until man can become at one with nature he will continue to by its enemy.

Why is the animal ? the gorilla, monkey so much more powerful then the human being ?. There is also a spiritual element to this as we are all sub units of the animal kingdoms.

So please do not put down animal kungfu it has its strenghts and some weakness but dont all systems have good and bad points ?

I have heard stories of thai boxers getting defeated by monkey kungfu teachers.

One day man will destroy his planet and will become extinct like the dinosaurs.

We must harmonise with our environment and learn to trust mother nature. She is a powerful force in her self and through this she reaches out with the life force...

Animal kungfu forms teaches us to move like the predator and fight like a tiger.

Well said in the true spirit of Shaolin philosophical thought.

But can those styles teach someone to fight?

Or is that not relevant?

Funny you say that, I say a clip of Professor Moses Powell and he stated nearly the exact same thing back in 1960's something like...."I've seen alot of cool and amazing things from kungfu, I even saw a guy take a machete with the point to his throat and bend the machete.......all that is great, but what I want to know is can he fight?"
