I've been training for over 1/2 year, and I find some of those more advanced blocks or stances to be not practical in real situations, because in fact even when those black belts is sparring, I never see them use those moves.
Those basic and advanced stances (e.g cat stance- lean all weight on on leg, with other in front with no weight on it, touching the ground ready to do a front kick) and blocks (e.g triple block) are never praticed in sparring (suppose to simulate real situations), so whats even the point in learning them?

1) Kung Fu- namely Wu Shu

2) Train at Ultimo on Sundays and the Hurstville Salvation Army on Wednesdays.

3) I've been doing it on and off for nine years. I started when I was nine and I'm 18 now.
We don't have grades and don't think we will ever implement such a system. If your good, your good. You don't need tangabile items to show your "class".

4) Some university students are trying to make a website right now. I'll post it up when we get it up and running. Maybe I'll ask the admins on BoS for help too.
