Please feel free to skip ahead to the next video as this one is over 20 minutes.
This documentary is mostly about an internal style - Seven Star Preying Mantis.
Some people may say that certain styles are superior to others etc...as my own Kung Fu instructor told me, ANY real kung fu style is 'good', if it is taught with the right intent and practiced with the same intent. Everyone is different and people should try different styles to see what 'feels right'. The style I learned puts emphasis on external (at first) and internal techniques.
I've only dabbled some in internal styles like tai chi chuan. Internal styles are practiced very slowly and deliberately - the awesome thing about internal styles, while practiced slow, they are NOT. Your body, when relaxed, will react with lightening speed and efficiency when is perceives the threat.
