Excellent!

Went OK, we worked kung fu today. Lots of basics and then worked a bit on the Tiger/Crane and some on Tiger Claw ... good stuff, but kung fu wears me out!

Why is it more wearying than other things? The stances?

Why is it more wearying than other things? The stances?

The stances are part of it, I believe it is the total body involvement. Even in the basics, punching and kicking, the entire body is involved. Just my take. I'm older than I use to be, that for sure, but all I can tell you is that the kung fu stuff wears me out more than the kempo.

So...is it more effective, or less efficient?

I'm still new to it, the Kung Fu that is. Here's how I see it. Kung Fu is long-hand, Kempo is short-hand. We intergrate Kung Fu into our Kempo to make it more effective. I'm not speaking for all Kempo types, but where I come from, watching even masters perform techniques, they don't use their bodies to help generate power, they use speed and multiple strikes. Kung Fu teaches us to use our entire body to generate power in our strikes and manipulate the attacker.

Not sure that answers your question, but that's all I have for now ...

Crane is long-hand, but isn't tiger shorter?

Maybe as Kung Fu goes, but not as I compare it to the Kempo. And again, it is the Kmepo that I have studied in past years that I type about, not referring to all Kempo.
