I was watching a documentary about martial arts and the physics behind them. They dealt with reflex speed and proved that a punch (Wushu martial arts) was 4x the speed of snake strike. They also said that the speed of the signal running from the brain to the fists was 225m/s. Other than Gatorade (electroltyes), can you take a drug to increase reflex speed?|||Reflex moves are controlled by the ganglia in the spine. The nerve impulses move much faster than having to go to the brain. The impulses travel by what is called saltatory conduction, that is they jump along the nerve, seemingly skipping large lengths at a time. Unfortunately, reflex actions tend to be simple and defensive in nature, as in touching something hot, or raising your arm to block a blow. Attacking blows, by definition, require some judgement as to placement and timing, so the brain is unavoidably involved.
Gatorade will only make sure you are correctly hydrated and your electrolytes are normal, something that should be taken care of by adequate diet and fluid intake anyway, it will not make you faster.
Drugs will not make you faster, they will give you the delusion of being faster, quite useless in a tournament, when you need to judge your real speed.|||I too saw this documentary and I do not believe their figures. This was very biased and contained no safeguards to ensure that there was no %26quot;false start%26quot; to the punch.
No drug can increase reflex speed (as far as I know) but you can increase your response time to a stimulus slightly by practise (yes, that deliberately has an %26quot;s%26quot; in it!) - thought to be due to an increased growth in the neural connections.
btw - from what I%26#039;ve read, the fastest reflex in the human body is the blinking of the eye!|||nerve impulses are made of chemicals not electricty, so it is electrical in nature but not like a current in a computer, it is a cascading depolarisation. the fastest nerves are ones with large diameters found in squids. in humans the fastest nerves are the motor neurons which are myleinated, covered in a fatty substance.
You cannot change the nerves, but you can increase the effeincy of your brain by practicing the move you want to make fast, but you have to practice it fast, so you don%26#039;t practice the move until it slows down, you stop when you think it will be slower, that way your brain only does it at the top speed, will get better and faster.

Would you give the name&the location of the best kung fu, taiji, wushu school in egypt prefer chinese masters?
it seems hours have passed and no has been able to assist you. In the meantime, you could do your own legwork as I have outlined for others with this same inquiry.
First thing you have to do is check your local yellow pages or phone book, look for the all the available schools your area has to offer.
The reason I always suggest to look in the phone book first is due to the fact you%26#039;re pretty looking for a school in your local area. This makes your inquiry a lot faster and easier because all the information is available for you right there.
Secondly, if you are not having any success with this type search, try contacting an organization of that particular style on the internet and ask if they can refer schools or instructors available in your local area.
Please note that there are good number of good instructors that do not advertise or teach for commercial purpose thus you won%26#039;t see them advertise anywhere. They are mostly located in private gyms or community centers.
Hope this helps and good luck with your search.

Wushu; Chinese Martial Arts?
I used to learn wushu but about quitted a year ago, due to stress and family problems. Now I want to pick it up again. If I pick it up again, should I start from the basics or should I continue from where I left? Thanks!|||i guess you need to start from scratch again. i mean, you left for a year and it wouldn%26#039;t be possible if you still bear in mind all the things you%26#039;ve learned the past few years. and at least, you can perfect the basics.|||You need to take a look at your self and be honest. If you lost all that you gained, well, you know already. Some take classes and practice what they have learnt for the rest of their lives, making them very much so better than when they first learnt a year ago. Wu Shu is a life science, you learn more never forgetting your roots or beginnings as it all matters and is important. The first lesson to the last.
Wu Shu can be lessons as is a style I know. These lessons are meant to be learnt as a series of combinations. This combination group only grows in time, and so you have more to work with, study on, and get better at. All the time gaining in endurance and all the skills associated with it.
I nice thing about Wu Shu life skills is that even if you only go 1 year, that 1 year can equate to a life of good physical shape. Just take what you have learnt and keep the knowledge and skills active even if you quit gaining more knowledge.
Look at yourself, and be honest as to who you are and what your goals are. Don%26#039;t ask of a teacher what you don%26#039;t feel to ask of yourself honestly. Wu Shu is a life skill, and is meant to last a lifetime. It is a way to follow this road in life and have a benefit you can share with others.|||start over so you don%26#039;t end up killin your self besides it would show to your master that you really want to learn it and he will help out a little maybe you might get a little respect from the top guys.|||Go to a class and start where your sifu tells you to start.|||start where u left but also give half an hour to the basics so u can open ur body parts and u r not heart

Wushu and Kung Fu?
What%26#039;s the difference between Kung Fu and Wushu? I mean the martial arts Kung Fu, not the meaning of it.
On Wikipedia they are listed under the same article, so are they pretty much or almost the same thing?|||wushu is a type of kung fu, they have the same origins. wushu is very reliant of its speed and the use of momentum to maintain swift movements and use them towards very strong strikes with full body weight behind them. kung fu uses a much more traditional strike and counterstrike style, many of the techniques that are used in one, are used in both, but wushu is more of a specialized style. the downside to wushu is that if the techniques are effectively blocked, or redirected, the attacker is almost entirely thrown off his axis and typically loses control of his movements and is greatly opened up to attack.
the further back you trace the histories of most individual styles, you%26#039;ll find that they all have their origins in the same 5 or 6 families.|||hey guys! first time on this lol nyways
i practice wushu, but not only that i had training in 7 different martial arts (karate, taekwondo, kendo, hapkido, wushu) But right now, i only practice wushu and kendo
nyways kung fu means wushu. but aside from that wushu is a type of kung fu. Report Abuse
|||kung fu is a very broad term. its like saying i play sports, which could be soccer, basketball and etcsame with kung fu! kung fu has many styles. SOO MANY, like over 400. wushu is the most popular one though. Report Abuse
|||its like the national sport.today as wushu is turning into performance than combat (also knwon as modern wushu) is still popular and all over the world. Report Abuse
|||wushu still teaches combat also known as sanda, which in a tournament u can grapple, joint locks, and so on. but there are many types of tournaments. Report Abuse
|||well guys u get the point, but if u guys are planning to learn martial arts, learn either one. no martial art is best, but its how well u use it. but to be a good martial artist, learn many as you can.
good luck guys Report Abuse

|||wushu is da kind of modern kung fu...while kung fu is de original|||Wushu is not a very familiar term to most people in foreign countries. It has been translated in different ways, such as %26quot;martial arts%26quot;, %26quot;combat arts%26quot;, %26quot;fighting skills%26quot;, %26quot;offence and defence arts%26quot;, %26quot;free fighting%26quot;, and so on. What is more familiar to foreigners is the term %26quot;kung fu,%26quot; so that people practising the Chinese style of boxing are usually described as practising kung fu, and Chinese wushu films are called kung fu films. To say that a person is good at kung fu means that he is well versed in wushu (martial arts). From this we see that kung fu has become a synonym or a term used as a substitute for wushu in some countries, though the connotations may slightly differ in some cases.
The term kung fu, of course, originated in China. In the old days, itinerant entertainers who wandered from place to place to make a living often performed feats of strength by the roadside or in a square to attract passers-by and win their applause before asking for meagre donations. They would, for instance, smash a stone slab to pieces with their palms, or let someone among the watching crowd hit hard at their bodies so as to show their invulnerability. Such feats of prowess were described as kung fu, and these performers were said to excel in kung fu. It was probably because of this that in later years, with more and more Chinese going abroad and taking up residence there, the term kung fu gradually came to be used in foreign countries.
Actually, the term kung fu has a much wider meaning and does not refer only to proficiency in wushu. One of its basic meanings is capability or accomplishment in a certain field of endeavour. For instance, a person is said to be possess of kung fu in calligraphy, meaning that he has attained a high standard in calligraphy. When we praise an actor for his superb performance, we often say he has real kung fu. In commenting on an article, we may say that its writer has put kung fu into it, meaning that the article is well written and that the writer has extensive knowledge of the subject he is dealing with.
The term kung fu also refers to the amount of time and energy involved in doing a piece of work. For instance, when we say that a person has spent three hours%26#039; kung fu in repairing a car, we mean both the time and the amount of energy expended in doing the job.
Wushu is a branch of knowledge dealing with offence and defence techniques. Of course it doesn%26#039;t include the use of firearms. The basic movements of wushu include kicks and blows, grapples and thrusts, parries and chops, and so forth. These movements, which vary in speed and power, are arranged in set patterns according to the objective laws of offence and defence to meet the requirements of combat; or they may be employed flexibly according to actual circumstances in order to gain the upper hand in a combat requiring resourcefulness, strength and techniques.|||im not sure but i think kung fu is more for fighting. while wushu isnt. wushu is more of an art|||Wushu is under Kung Fu. Kung Fu mean Chinese martial arts. WuShu is a chinese martial arts.
Wushu is good if you like to get your *** kick and fvcked.
Kung Fu is good if you like to get your *** kick.
Neither is very effective due to their very backward way of thinking and looking at things. They really believe that by dancing around enough, they actually can learn how to fight even if they have never felt a real punch before.|||Wushu is kung-fu. the kung fu sword fighting you see on T.V. is wushu where as the fist fighting style falls under a few categoried, mainly wing chun. Thats what Bruce Lee Chow Yun Fat and all the big martial arists use mainly because its flashy and looks great. Not statignthat its less effective just looks good to. Wushu has a few fist fighitng levels in it but, are based on holding two handed weapons although confusing constructive and devistating. Where as wing chun is the style were you see them practicing it on the wooden dummy jsut because the pegs are places on there principle pressure points of where you would want to strike on there person to stop them faster and more effiecient assuming they are as tall as the dummy, but most skilled Kung-Fu weilders can cahnge the height on sheer eye contact.
they re considered the same art in fact there are many more traditional forms of kung fu, but these are the main ones that come to mind. and only teachign Wing Chun style i have some one closed my mind as it is my task on hand maybe one day i will start some other branch. Hope that helped you understand the difference good luck on finding your answer!|||well, i think that the practice of wushu nowadays is more of an entertainment and exhibitions while kung fu is still practiced as a self defense... although both may be of the same origin.|||kung fuu is a hand form of fighting and washoo is all about throwing people|||Wushu is the correct term for Chinese martial arts, It%26#039;s just referred to as Kung-Fu as that is the term Westerners happen to be familiar with.

Which karate style would be better to take wushu or isshinryu?
which karate style would be better to take wushu or isshinryu|||Usually the traditional Wushu classes go under the name, Kung Fu, so it%26#039;s a more modern Wushu. I don%26#039;t particularly like Modern Wushu, and am rather fond of Isshinryu. So, I say Isshinryu. It%26#039;s effective, simple, yet traditional.
ps. Where is your class and who will be your Isshinryu sensei?|||Er...Wushu is chinese martial art, Karate is japanese martial art and Isshin Ryu is a japanese karate style, so how could Wushu be classified as a karate style?? My advice, If you want to do acrobatic moves and weapons handling, then go for Wushu. If you wanna do empty hand katas and lots of shouting and yelling, then do Isshin Ryu Karate.|||GAHHH! Wushu isn%26#039;t karate, its a kung fu style. lol
Anyway, Isshinryu is a %26quot;hard%26quot; style and Wushu is a more agile style while still being hard.
Depends on yourself really, do you like to be more agile and hard, or steady and hard? Water to Rock.....Water is wushu and Rock is isshinryu.|||strangely enuff wu shu has got f**k all to do with karate...does that answer ur question? :D|||Watch a few classes and see what is being taught and how it is taught. Talk with the instructors and learn the focus of the school and see if it matches what you are looking for.

As for the %26quot;wrestler%26quot;, they tend to be just a kiss away from a relationship. They like to snuggle a little too much and they have too many rules of things they don%26#039;t like you to do to escape them.|||Try kyokushen, Inshin or shidokan karate.
