[QUOTE="Iragen, post: 2473548, member: 847296"] ...an addition? Well The straight guess I had was that one is more firm, powerful and direct whereas the other seems soft, strong and circular. I used to grow up under kenpo karate schools and teachers. I never was really able to get far because off me being lazy and then later on because I felt that not only could I not keep with the class but my weight wasn't helping me feel like I was making physical progress. I never got far even though I stuck with it, constantly going over the same techniques for a beginner and I felt like I wouldnt get any skill or health increase so I left with the mindset that once I lose weight and tone up I could come back. I tried kung fu and that not only trimmed me down but gave me a variety of techniques and even history that, after sparring around in the ring in the school and shadow boxing and having some backyard mock matches with my friends, have given me what I wanted from karate in the first place. Except I left karate without telling one of my Sense-i's(Who happens to also be my uncle) so I really do intend on coming back but I wont bother If Im just going to RE-learn my current style in a more direct manner.
