What type of kung fu do you not have to meditate in?

Question

just curious, is there a type of marital arts that you don't need to meditate in?

Answer 1

You don't have to but its pretty good for relaxation and concentration so id do it anyway.

Answer 2

If you study police or military combatives (hand-to-hand combat) systems, there is no meditation in any of them. There is also no meditation in Wing Chun, Jeet Kun Do, Kali, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, sambo, submission grappling, or Western kickboxing.

Answer 3

You don't HAVE to metitate at all if you don't want to. The point of it though is to free your mind of all negative thought, and the thought processes that get in the way of you being able to react instinctively when in a survival mode.

Answer 4

If you go to a school that teaches "techniques" rather than the entire discipline -- you do not have to work on your whole self, just the mechanics.
