I haven't trained with Ludwig directly but I'm currently with one of his students and I've enjoyed the Bang system so far. With malapiet ive always been impressed with his depth of understand with clinch fighting. That's the most appealing aspect for MT to me.
I've dabbled in a little bit of Hung Gar in the past but i shied away from Chinese Arts because of how watered down they are. Baji Quan has always been an interest however because of its simplicity and lack of flowery movements. Its just strait to the point and brutal.
