So much can be improved and corrected on the CSC material even by just reading the treatises of past and current experts of Chinese martial arts, and watching videos. How much more can be gained by finding another teacher, even just to correct the basics.
With the internet, it is much more easy to connect with "reality", though it is also easier to get deeper into a fantasy world. But more information available isn't a bad thing, in this case.
