This question goes to all the seasoned Kung Fu masters out there. Having watched Kung Fu Panda for the third time, I’m stuck between Tiger style and Monkey style. I’m five foot seven, and I weigh at least 200. Please send me your best answers. Thanks!

   U will find that cartoons Rn’t exactly accurate in their portrayals of things.Martial arts is no exception.Most systems integrate all 5 animal styles in2 their system.What U need 2 look @ is whether U want the wide long circling motions of a northern style or the small inside short circling motions of a southern chinese style.It really depends on what U feel comfortable with. If U just want an opinion,the northern is going 2 look better if U can master but the southern style will B more effective if U ever need it in real life situations.

   Depends on what’s around your area and how good that instructor is at teaching.

   Find out what schools are in your area. Visit them. Most will give you a free lesson. If they try and pressure you into a contract – leave! Visit a few schools, and see if any of their training styles appeal to you. You will also want to check the credentials of the school’s Sifu and talk with him to see if he is someone you want to learn from.

   Also, depending on where you live, the most common animal style you will find is one form of mantis or another. Although many martial arts incorporate various aspects. For instance, in Wing Chun, you will may see a crane beak, or panther fist, etc.

   Best of luck.

   from kung fu panda, the style u should try is panda style. sitting and centrifugal force of a 100 lb punch hurts. well actually monkey style is more like acrobatic.. yea and if your five seven, 200 lb… gonna b pretty hard… no offense. but from kung fu panda, i think that preying mantis kung fu is best?
