Hello, I’m a student thats been searching for a good few weeks now to find the monkey style in New York to learn; I would even go and buy videos but its hard finding the real deal… www.monkeykungfu.com with paulie zink is 100% fake.. do anybody know where i can go learn monkey with the 5 forms .. if not a few of the forms??
Hmmmm
Monkey Kung Fu is very hard to find anywhere ,muchless in NYC. I remember seeing a website for Micheal Parrella that says he teaches it ,he’s a kung fu brother of Mr. Ross ( lkfmdc) here on this forum.

For the authentic version of what Zink claims to teach, I think they make you study their Pigua system for about 10 years before learning the monkey style forms. Pigua’s good stuff… but if you have your heart set on learning traditional monkey kungfu right away, you’re probably out of luck.
or you maybe able to find some wushu monkey somewhere.
Would still probably have to train quite a bit of chang quan to get to that.
Oh well, that sure sucks.
Pay your dues then. I think it’s worth it.
i know that monkey kung fu is one of the most deadly and most difficult forms to master. one would need an extensive training backround to even attempt any of the combat applications. if youre a beginner this is a dam near impossible feat.
well, i kno paulie zink is fake.. and wushu is literally dancing and acting.. shaolin is da real deal but its mad hard to find.. i have a background in muay thai and BJJ and i want to learn monkey.. and dun doubt me cuz i’m a beginner, i can do anything if i put my mind in2 it 
oo yea i went to a few shaolin schools.. they laughed at me -_- told me why dun i learn dragon its more agressive .. ackk… doesn’t anybody have any useful info? 
Just that Shaolin(if you’re talking about the monks) monkey is the same as “wushu” monkey 
With them some things are contemporary, some are traditional, and some is a combination… Also, if you’re dead set on a particular style… sometimes you’ve got to travel 
Have you tried contacting sifuabel? He teaches a monkey style out in California. See if he knows something the rest of us don’t. Why do you want to study monkey so bad?
well, to be honest i want to most “practical” one that could be used in a fight, and my most educated guess is its shaolin, because i’ve seen wushu people use monkey and its really garbage my dad said its like a dance//act//performance.. and its definitely won’t help u win against a average fighter
Ok
To be quite honest , I think in terms of practicality you might want to just invest in the long term, learn the axe fist and daitang essentials and then persue monkey.
for that I would reccommend finding a tai shing pek kwar school run by chan sau chung.
You can also contact the forum member SifuAbel as Brad just suggested.
Anyhow good luck in your search, sorry but it doesn’t look like practical kung fu satisfies instant gratification, hard work is hard work and time and effort to get skill over time.
Where are you located? If youre in Florida you might also want to give Steve Chin a call. But again I doubt any option you choose is gonna give you traditional monkey kung fu instantly.
my sifu yao li is gonna teach me a tradtional monkey staff form
i found a monkey crane set if you’re interested. it’s short and backed to monkey tiger with a mantis flair. not ‘true’ :mad: anything. it came as what looks like chinese propaganda: the chinese saying that they didn’t completely purge all the temples. but it’s on the night sect vcd from plum. but what they offer is not true night sect. the chinese succeeded in eliminating them from china and vietnam. :mad:
i’ll send you mine if you pm me your snail mail.
elsewhere i heard that all the good monkey **** comes from northern india. i’ve seen an indian arts instructor in the big city. hit the web, look around, let US know.
d’oh, you said in ny. :o
didn’t you know? half the people who work in NY live in florida.
I guess the public transportation system there is really efficient
i finally found a site www.tspk.com but ordering is weird?? i dun get what that market merchant thingy is.. -_-
For the record, I don’t go straight into the monkey sets with a student either. So if anyone out there wants to train that stufff without going through the regimen first, too bad.

Beats me, you should be asking them not us, lol. Anyway, if you look at the website the actual monkey forms still aren’t taught unless you do the level four thing which involves actual training with the master… the rest is pigua, ditong(Chinese ground fighting and falling), etc. Very valuable skills. You know… you really should direct emails to the people on the website if you’re serious about all this, as they’d know as much or more than any of us 
I think their corespondence course is about as well set up as something like that can get (though I’d still recomend learning from one of the other great teachers of other styles located in NY rather than that). I almost did the program when my first teacher moved away (bought the Yuen Yang Fist vid when they first released it), but ended up meeting my teacher shortly after
SifuAbel,
Do you teach the TSPK system, or another branch? Also, is there actually such a thing as an old traditional “Shaolin” monkey style?
No, what I teach is different from TSPK. So far I have seen very different systems sharing the name PK. Although I think people are getting too hung up (pardon the pun) on the description of the name. Some PK teachers claim monkey and eagle as their animal symbol. The footwork is definatley monkey.
The closest thing to my style is nam hou kune, southern monkey.
