wudang vs shaolin

[PALEHORSE]

I'm seriously considering studying one of these. From my research these are the 2 most legitimate schools.

wudang

shaolin
http://www.shaolin-wushu.de/en/main_fr.htm?schulen1.htm

anybody else have any experience with this?

Im leaning toward wudang because they seem to have more focus on the internal aspects

I took Shaolin for years. After that time I realized it is such a watered down martial art. It was a great workout but fighting wise, there really is nothing there any more.

why just these two styles i think you should explore more styles before indulging yourself in shaolin or wudang. i remember reading up on Bruce Lee and a statement where he stated that Choy Li Fut was a great martial art now that is bruce lee opinion however some of the pros are

-taught correct alignment of the skeleton when striking with the arms (knees bent, hips underneath shoulders, elbows down, shoulders relaxed, wrist straight)

-taught good power generation concepts (twisting the waist, crunching the torso, sinking the bodyweight)

now as far as the cons:

one thing i have notice due to watching youtube clips all day on this style is that choy li fut has to many exaggerate stances and various forms (this can be seen as a pro or a con)

also there this concept in CLF pertaining to the shoulders they are pulled down to promote body use when striking, focus on relaxation, and keep good structure. IMO, in fighting the raised shoulder can be used very effectively for defense, also some stances recommend you keep your arms on a diagonal parallel to your body...something i that can be use again you if your ever sparring against a person known for countering attacks keeping an outside and pivoting stance if your fighting someone who fight in that stance will imo pose effective


just try weighing the pros and cons of each style you may be interested in

yea im not so interested in learning self defense but more into studying mandarin(which is a good idea for anybody going into the new world) authentic qi gong, toaism, acupuncture, weapons, studying foriegn a culture plus getting my body in peak physical shape. only like 500 dollars a month for this eduction. If I decided to go I would pick the wudng school. they also teach herbalogy and chinese astrology
