I could try it on forums, but contrary to forums actualy having someone to learn is crazy. Because some will "Never" learn.
I would rather workout with someone with many years of self-training, then someone who pretends/thinks they have learned from many centuries of false and hype training.

I dont really have a long term goal, i guess it would just be to good good in tournaments. Martial arts is curentyl just an activity i decided to take part in.

Welcome to the forums. Joining this forum is the first step in turning "activity" into "addiction." Tournaments are a good first goal. Let us know if you have any coming up.

Right you are-goals are goals. Some seem to be better than others!
I had a mental preoccupation when Shaolin had popped in. Truth is, anything has a hard time being debunked with their are so many in denial and blissful ignorance.
And yeah, make a comment about Shaolin-lets start another thread. Boy, (not you, an exclamation)do I have a cornucopia of Shaolin stuff.

actually, if you want to talk about ignorance then that comment about some seem better than others prooves your point better than anyone ever could
anyways, you have your hates for shaolin, and i have my hates for wrestling ha ha ! oh well.
If you truly want to debunk it then why not fight a so called monk?

I dont have "my hates" for Shaolin. I had been on that hype and thought like many. When I accepted what it is about, I was appalled. For example, the Bodhidarma story has been changing ever so slighty for the past 40 years of me being a martial artist.
One develops disgust as they see things that they had thought was correct, becoming different. Denial is a terrible thing.
People tend to think being naive and gullible is callowness. It is easier to fight for a wrongful thought than to admit a wrongful cause.

To serve with absolute loyalty,even if it meens the ultamate sacrifice.
Also,I wish to find a way to stop an on comming attacker.without causing death or pain.I want to combine
this with administering it in a stealthic manner,and have
it be instinctive.
