A. 1. The same way to can tell an authentic Chinese restaurant. If there are lots of Chinese students its a good indicator that it's authentic. If there are very few Chinese students I'd be cautious. 2. This is especially true if there are lots of Chinese kids (under 12) as many Chinese parents will seek out an authentic kung fu school to train their kids. 3. Find out where the Sifu/Shifu was trained. What is the lineage of the school as is he officially recognised as a Sifu by his teachers? 4. Does the Sifu actually train the students - or does he leave it to instructors or other students? If the Sifu doesn't take a personal interest in your training - leave. 5. Observe how many senior students there are. If the school is full of… [cont.]

How do you punch using the waist in kung-fu?
Q. In kung-fu as well as other styles, you punch with both feet firmly planted and rooted and you rotate your hips/waist to throw the punch. I'm use to the orthodox boxing method where you will pivot the rear foot and then the hips/waist to throw the punch so I'm using both my lower and upper body to generate power. The both feet being firmly planted throws me off. I'm just using upper body rotation. I can't seem to generate power with that.

A. Yes their are kung fu styles that have boxing style punches. They are usually family systems of Kung fu. As part of a family martial art I practice 2 forms of Wing Chun, Kickboxing, and Nan Chuan. I end up using all styles of punching as each has its uses. Punching without the shoulder movement is not as powerful as a boxing punch, but by keeping the shoulders square, you will be able to block better. The better blocking will allow you to get off your moves that allow you to control weak opponents and when it comes to trapping, you will be able to set up your boxing punches by immortalizing an opponents limb for a brief moment. This all starts by keeping the shoulders square. Moreover, staying square when you punch increases the… [cont.]
