[NICK17]

what's the official limit?
then

and where did you get that information plz reply

thnx for your message

[zachsan]

the Official Limit is not a fixed value. it's always .01 centimeters above the height of the practitioner in question. it's a chinese math thing.

lol but seriously, i'm just trying to find a smart-ass way of saying you're never too tall to practice gongfu.

My shirfu is 6' 4" His kung fu looks great..


It is easier for a shorter person to look good doing it, however, when someone taller does it well, then it looks awsome. It is just a bit harder. Think angles... as far as forms go. It all comes down to angles. If someone with a 3' arm length holds his arm out parallel to the floor, then moves it to say 3 or 4 degrees down, you'll notice it more than say a person with a 2.5' long arm, who does the same thing.

it is harder in some respects. i train in hung gar, which emphasises low horse stances. most of my classmates are very short (they're chinese), and they can get right next to the floor. but for someone like me, who is 6 feet tall, even a horse stance with the thighs nearly parallel to the ground looks high compared to the other students. so my sifu makes me work harder, which i welcome.
