I am thinking of crosstraining between hung ga kung fu and american kenpo. Does this sound like a good mix?
Absolutely, imo. My knowledge of Hung Gar and American Kenpo is limited to the one school of American Kenpo I visit and a good friend of mine that has studied Hung Gar. I'm not sure if all American Kenpo schools have ground fighting, the one I hang out at does, not so they can grapple but so they know how to handle themselves once they get there. I like the aggressive nature of both arts, to me they are both not exactly pretty but very much to the point. Of course saying that, both my friend and the instructor at the American Kenpo school has studied other arts, so one tends to bring a bit of the art that they deem important into what they are teaching...so I haven't seen any pure Hung Gar or American Kenpo...but then again...is any art really and truly totally and unequivically pure?
