Shaolin Kung Fu is better. Movements such as Tao Zi Gong allow u to twist one leg 180 degrees, while keeping the other straight.

Re: ~ Yoga Benefits the Body - All muslims read!

I've always wondered about whether there had been any research done about the health benefits of prayer...I guess now i know :-)

Re: ~ Yoga Benefits the Body - All muslims read!

Prayers are good for the digestive system.

& Tai** Chi** was developed by the Chinese, before Yoga. Its another component of Kung Fu.

Re: ~ Yoga Benefits the Body - All muslims read!

too late for that! :ouch! :bummer:

Re: ~ Yoga Benefits the Body - All muslims read!

Well, parts of Kung Fu are haraam, because they require worshipping of something other than Allah. The worshipping parts are from Buddhism.

I don't know about Yoga, but I'm assuming, if it requires anything spiritual, then it maybe haraam. But I do not know, because I dunno much about Yoga.

Re: ~ Yoga Benefits the Body - All muslims read!

^u dont have to worship anything. its all about breathing and concentration. nothing haraam.

Re: ~ Yoga Benefits the Body - All muslims read!

^^ ...in yoga, maybe. But not in Shaolin Kung Fu.
