What is the cause for Northern and Southern Chinese kung fu differences? Good point. I had never thought of that. Do you know why the Northern Chinese were more likely to be armed though over the Southern Chinese? |

Should political/religious discussions be allowed inside the training place? Religion and philosophy are some of the main influences in the development and history of martial arts. You don't have to subscribe to them if you don't want to, but you can't just absolutely and completely ignore those aspects if you are training in one of those particular arts. |

Where can I find or how can I make a tailored white dogi for women? I wonder if you could take the dogi to an experienced tailor and explain to them what you need. Those kinds of people would probably be able to pull something off for you. |

Should political/religious discussions be allowed inside the training place? @DaveNewton I'm confused too. I was thinking just general politics and religion conversations for chit-chat. The subject is way too broad. I don't think question is very constructive (or related to martial arts per the scope in the faq) as it is currently. |
