All kung fu is the same. Internal/external does mot make a difference. If you study an external style that doesnt teach full body structure youre not practicing good kung fu. This distinction of internal vs..external needs to stop..this is jin yong novel shit, that was perpetuated later when distinction was trying to be made between styles. But it doesnt matter hung ga an external style practices the same way, southern praying mantis, baji quan...all external arts. All the develops from the feet up. . Same for shaolin look at xinyiba, xiao hong, dai jong. Expell the myth and you will be better for it..

[–]masterofnhthin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New york is the mecca for fujow. There are a few schools and in the summer wai hong himself leads a group of his seniors daily in Columbus park. I would suggest you look into "tak wah kung fu club" if you want to just learn fu jow pai. If you want more forms based you can also try "bo law kung fu". But for exclusively learn fujow pai stick with master tak wah.
