Heya guys,
Despite the Invasion of the Smurfs (I mean imagine it guys -- smurfs doing MMA!) that seems to be going on in KFO, I've decided to actually start a thread.
With Tekken 4 soon coming out, I feel my martial arts training is really going to reach another level. New characters, old characters with new moves ...
Just joking guys, I'm not really Ralek in disguise. :)
Moving onto the real subject, I recently started going to a very, very good teacher (he arrived in Finland just a while back) of the internal arts and I must say - I feel very confident about it improving the level of my skill.
I think the biggest problem with traditional arts, besides all the stuff we usually talk about, is lack of truly advanced practicioners who teach students. Usually, the arts get watered down when they're passed on to generations who're not yet ready to receive them. I know this has been a problem in at least one of the styles I've studied, and am thrilled to be working with my current sifu directly.
Kinda reminds me of a lot Bak Mei has been talking about. Or maybe it's just because I can't stop saying good things about my current sifu.
Dunno. What do you guys think?
