has anyone ever studied any form of drunken kung fu? if so tell me about it

Ever fought a drunk? They don't usually put up much of a contest. Why would you want to fight like one of them? But seriously, other than it being unorthodox and impractical, I don't know much about it.

What did you say spanking monkey kung fu? lol. Sorry I just had to say it.

I dont know much about it. I do know they use odd angle attacks. A lot of feints and misdirection stuff. The whole premise is built upon confusing the attacker. I bet it would be difficult to learn and even more difficult to perform. You would spend a lot of time and energy learning something that’s most likely worthless. Just my opinion.

Well, as I've mentioned in two former posts, a few years ago while in college I ran into a guy that knew drunken monkey kung-fu. To say the least, I wasn't very impressed. Attacks were made from very low angle stances, sort of a pouncing movement I recall. None were very effective. I remember the guy was able to grab a hold of my leg, since he was so low, but couldn't do anything with it. I was on my back and pulled him into my guard, executed a guillotine and he tapped out pretty quick.... so much for drunken monkey... It's obvious this guy wasn't an expert, but I'd stick to solid martial arts.

Man, all i can say is: Believe...
I know many martial arts, and drunken kung-fu is not really a solid style... just like actual kung fu, there are so many different forms of it which are all so different... i practice one form of it called drunken kung-fu of the god holding a big jar... funny, and pretty funky name, but man, it's sweet stuff... i love it. i should say that i enjoy it most probably because of the way they move, and the technique; all high fly, and twisty... very nice. it's very effective, i would say the best way of using it is probably blending it to your own style and doing some mix-&-match.

But that is easy, I can't really hold my booze, 4 or 5 drinks is the limit

High fly and twisty? That doesn't translate to combat utility for me, but then again, I don't have poisonous claws or four arms (damn!). Effective still? Uh...effective at what? I'm interested to know.
