Does one have to be born with a certain physical skill level in order to become good at a given style of Kung Fu, or can anyone, of any physical skill level, be good if they work hard? I'm wondering because, I know I'm not the most graceful person around, but neither am I the most clumsy. I could also stand to lose a few pounds. I've recently been thinking about joining a Kung Fu school, but I'm not sure if I could cut it. When I watch martial arts being performed, particularly Kung Fu, it seems so graceful, and fluid. Can this be taught to someone who was born with two left feet and two right hands? Let me know. Thanks!

yes depends on how hard you work and how good your teacher is at TEACHING. even great masters can be bad teachers
