	I love how Danny thinks to himself in third person and as Iron Fist not Danny. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wonder if he thinks that way when he's not wearing the outfit. IRON FIST, YOU FORGOT TO DO LAUNDRY. YOU HAVE NO CLEAN SOCKS. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The worst is the "Kung-fu killer". It's not even Khng-fu... I recall a video on youtube where David Karriden explains the difference between disciplines like Karate and Kung-fu. Can't find it... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Karate is japanese, kung-fu is chinese. Kung-Fu is a soft form, about throws, grappling, using the opponent's strength against them. Karate is a hard, offensive form, about strikes and kicks. They're _really_ blatantly different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's a big more complicated than that. Both karate and kung fu have a large number of styles, with different emphases. Kung fu (wu shu) is usually divided into "hard" and "soft" styles, focussing on external or internal power. Some styles are almost like Aikido in their emphasis on throws and locks, some are as straightforward with kicks and punches as Tae Kwon Do.

	Well in the video I'm talking about David C. says Japanese karate etc are disciplines and Kung-fu is a letting go of self and opening yourself to the energies around you. More philosophical than physical. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That may be his interpretation. Maybe it's the aspect he's selling. I studied Fu Jow Pai for a little over a year (never got that good at it) and talked to students who had studied other styles. Chinese martial art involves a lot of physical conditioning and exercise so that you have a foundation to base the techniques on. The philosophical and spiritual aspects are there, but it's ultimately a fighting method and you have to be able to move quickly and hit hard for it to be effective.

	Well, yes, but I was being as simple as I could while still being reasonably accurate. I mean, when you're talking about something as diverse as Kung Fu, here, you have to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	True, it's trying to cover a complicated subject in a brief sentence. I just wanted to add some information. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's the boots that really give it away... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dr_hermes 2009-08-26 04:51 am UTC (link)
	I feel the cuffs on the gloves and boots could be a bit smaller. Maybe he has a shelf of different gloves and boots to choose from and felt a bit swashbuckling that day. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Love the early John Byrne - it's not perfect but it's got flava! (What book is this from? Iron Fist? And who's inking JB?) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm pretty sure this is from Byrne's run on the Iron Fist title: issue 12. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	citygod 2009-08-26 11:54 am UTC (link)
	Thanks - I think I need an Essential Iron Fist. (And that looks like Dave Cockrum on the cover, doesn't it?) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	volksjager 2009-08-26 01:27 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. it Is Dave C. strange enough many of this run of Ironfist have the covers uncredited. I'm gonna post the previous issue and that cover I swear is by Gil Kane. (Reply to this) (Parent)
