Firstly, it is important to
note the difference between a 'system' and a 'style'; 'Style' is a
particular type of expression, and it is bound by that expression. A
'system' is comprised of interdependent items forming a unified whole.
Chu Fen Do is a system, not a style. Though it is comprised of many original
and innovative strategies and tactics, it does contain modified techniques
inspired by other styles or martial artists. The system emphasizes
'modified' for a good reason. Putting a composite system together is not
just a question of combining several arts. Some styles are diametrically
opposed and will never blend. |
