surely your better off learning to fight as best you can as a human
you dont have claws or wings or fur or other natural weapons that they have so use your own no?

yea, reallyā¦ nasty stuff. Way too deadly for sparringā¦ 
lol that fool still talking what a wiener
respect the traditional culture and mindset of my people or gtfo why r u doing kung fu then
you dont even know whats an animal style. tell me whats an animal style? what do they do? u dont even fkin know. U GOOGLED IT
Like you say we donāt have claws or wings, we only have human weapons, so we are always only fighting like humans.
In animal styles the animals are allegorical representations of human qualities that we wish to express within our selves. Itās a colorful way of explaining how you are suppose to do a movement.
So to answer your question, NO. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
some classic human styles are traditionally calledā¦ fat fuker fu, lazy beached whale, american idolized MMA, and way of the cowardly fistā¦ i prefer the animal styles any day.

Youāve obviously never had your arm ripped off its socket by a grizzly bear!!! Donāt knock it till you try it my friend.
Some possible reasons to mimic āanimal stylesā:
1)They are stronger faster more efficient killers.
2)Some animals can actually defeat opponents much larger or stronger than themselves
3)Some martial artists have too much free time and no friends.
Me, I prefer the Cooking styles of Kung Fu. I once saw this movie called the āThe Six Cooking Styles of Kung Fu!ā about a chef who develops his own styles to include:
Shark fin Soup style
Sweet and Sour Pork
Shrimp Fried Rice
I canāt remember the othersā¦wish I had bought meself a copyā¦it was hilarious and it made me hungry for some take out.

[/QUOTE]the first animal that comes to mind here is the wolverineā¦ despite itās ferocious reputation, it is also quite cunning, after chasing itās prey up a tree, it will patiently wait at the bottom until either the prey dies of starvation or becomes frantic in itās hunger and climbs back out of the treeā¦ i have friends, they just donāt visit.
Iām a fan of the deadly fire ants. You can see their style represented pretty well in the abortion of a movie that was the last Indiana Jones.
[QUOTE=GreenCloudCLF;888160]Iām a fan of the deadly fire ants.[/QUOTE]no kidding. they are something elseā¦ my mom lived in florida fo 18 years before moving to mauiā¦ you couldnāt stand outside without moving your feet. when i was younger i used to have my stepdads dog come and sit down for a doggy treat right on top of a fireant moundā¦ it was funny at the time watching it drag itās arse across the ground, but looking back from a much more matured life, it was pretty cruel.
