True, it is the only chinese martial art you can train where I live.
What are other solid chinese martial arts that would be worth training into ? Both from southern and northen styles. I only know of Wushu, but from what I understand, wushu is mostly for exhibitions and not very practical.
Ahahahahahah.
Are you in the Toronto area? Please come learn boxing at my boxing club and then tell me how easy it is. You’re a joke if you think punching while being punched is natural. Weren’t you just starting martial arts? What the hell do you know about boxing? Have you ever even done boxing? I think its amazing you’re pursuing the arts you like because I’ll touch on that in a sec. But don’t spout nonsense that you know nothing about.
Also who cares if a martial art is ‘practical’. People get too caught up with pretending they’re going to be in a UFC style street fight when 99 percent of people never get in fights in their entire life even when the moment is staring at them in the face. Yes martial arts are a form of self defense but the majority of meanings including Dab00g’s Jiu Jitsu originally comes from some form of Budo or ‘way/lifestyle’ or in the case of Kung-Fu; not the martial art but the lifestyle which literally means betterment. I’ve done Kung Fu, Karate, Judo, Kendo, and I was and still teach boxing/have boxed for now close to 20 years and my father ran a boxing gym for over 20 years. I don’t regret any of the martial arts I’ve taken as long as you have the right mentality. And that mentality should always be betterment. Of yourself, of your spirit, or your mind, of your body, of your society. People that just want to learn to just punch and kick to be tough or because ‘its cool’ miss this fundamental. Which is actually the foundation of all martial arts, practical or not.
