Please only submit combative disciplines, I am not interested in stretching excercises or yoga.

The "experts only "is just a rub. I laugh when I see this.
I will be in Suzhou China next week. This will not make me an expert either but I love to stir the pot. Thanks for the input, the best answer on this one is up to the voters

There many varieties of Shaolin Temple Boxing (Kung Fu) in China & they are very very good. They are legit & still in existance. The problem is in finding a legit instructor. They exist but they seem to be greatly outnumbered by charlatans.

Several, the most notable of which is Tai Chi. Most people are unaware that Tai Chi is a martial training method. Kung fu, or Gung Fu started in the Shaolin Temples in China as well. Karate originated out of the southern Chinese martial arts and is also in existence today.

of course.the many and varied styles of kung fu.and tai chi is known as the deadliest martial art.in fact it's one of the original martial arts after ma left india.what most ppl percieve as tai chi is a watered down,slowed down version.there are a few real teachers left but i dont know where you'll find one.most of them are frauds.
