Dear Shaolin Wahnam Family,
Wonderful questions have been asked! And of course, the answers from Sifu, are just as amazing as always. :-)
Maybe, if appropriate, I would like to ask some questions that came to my mind:
In one the Questions & Anwers Series, Sifu once wrote:
.
- May Sifu share with us if there would be any style that might suit better in a multi-opponent fight or is it just the skill that counts?
- May Sifu share with us what would the best strategies/patterns/skills/styles be when involved in a multi-opponent fight in a wide and open space? How about in a narrow and closed space?
Thank you for taking into consideration my questions. :-)
With Love, Care and Shaolin Salute,
Santi

"The saying “nan quanbei tui”, or “Southern Fists Northern Kicks”, typically sums up the main difference between Southern Shaolin Kungfu and Northern Shaolin Kungfu. Southern Shaolin styles are well known for fists, whereas Northern Shaolin styles are well know for kicks...
...So another typical difference, besides the use of fists and kicks, is the Northern Shaolin styles are agile and involve a lot of wide movement and open space, whereas Southern Shaolin styles are solid with narrower movement and less space. Many commentators mention that this typical difference is due to the availability of wide, open ground in north China, and crowded narrow lanes in the south."
