Traditional Kung Fu: Why is it so rare to see women practice drunken styles?

In Traditional Kung Fu movies, Chinese martial arts tournaments/performances, etc., its common to see males practice drunken fist, straightsword, %26amp; staff. I have NEVER seen a woman practice any form of drunken style before. Is there a reason for that? Is it the physiological difference in our bodies? Or is it an old "rule?"





If there are any notable females who have practiced drunken styles, who are they?|||I would say that it is a simple game of numbers with regard to methods of Drunken Boxing. First, consider how many GENUINE teachers of Chinese martial arts there are (not Wushu, or supposed "Shaolin Kempo" or the like), from there, how many teach Drunken Boxing, and from there, how many women have an interest in learning it. you can see how it gets bottle-necked! Historically speaking, though, women in China have few limitations to being taught martial arts; since most martial arts of China have religious backgrounds in Buddhism or Taoism and these teach equality, there would be few (if any) restrictions.





That all being said, though, I can't think of any famous female martial artists with backgrounds in Drunken Boxing, historical, actor, or otherwise. It's likely just a preference; I don't know of many women who would want to portray a drunkard.





EDIT: I also agree with Bluto concerning the bulk of what people to "know" of drunken boxing to come from "Hollywood BS".|||becasues the "drunken" styles are 99% hollywood bogus.





and the remaining 1% is made up of mostly schools that don't teach you to use the art properly.





i've never agreed with the theory behind moving erratically for the sake of confusion, once you make a move you commit, if you have commited to a "fake" most of the time you have compromised your structure and left yourself exposed.





also most females end up on thier backs with a **** in them when they consume too much alcohol-





(thats not what its really about but i couldn't resist)|||Thats a good question. I dont think ive seen or heard of any either.|||It's not considered graceful or appropriate for a woman to be "drunk"?
