I have in my DVD collection a great documentary called 'This is Kung-Fu' It is like the bastard offspring of a Disney nature documentary and a Shaw Brothers film. World class martial artists do extensive kata and sparring demonstrations, surrounded by beautiful expanses of scenery. This is where epic martial arts should take place.
Then, amid this splendor, the answer to one of the great questions in martial arts is answered.
The question is "Why would anyone learn monkey style?" Face it, monkey style, while fun to watch on the screen is silly. Drunken monkey, silly, but with a bigger bar bill.
Then the answer revealed itself. You learn monkey style, because otherwise you have to learn Duck style. Yes Virginia, there is a Duck style. And yes Virginia, it makes monkey style look like the very pinnacle of dignified restraint.

ps. Bob, I'll be rewriting some of Crossroads now that I have a much deeper understanding of Doug's particular fighting style.
