I'd just about given up looking for teachers of martial-oriented Neijia, and almost out of the blue this guy offers to train me for free! He's not a master (and doesn't claim to be) but I believe...

This is going to require some background, but I'll *try* to keep it as brief as possible... Just bear with me:

Five or six years ago, my life reached a turning point. Previously I had been......

Where?

Are there any good resources out there for finding a school near you that teaches kung fu style X? Even if I'd settle for ANY style of kungfu, I can only find a couple choices in my area. OTOH, if...

I can't really think of anything interesting to say right now so I'll just feed the troll (my appologies to the people who have made intelligent replies, but I'm just too tired to tackle them at all...

P.S. it is LODE runner not load runner.

>oh and, load runner-- everyone knows your PL -- god you're clever. *yawn*<

No, I'm a newbie. In fact, I'm still considering WL because what 18elders has so far says still makes me think that it...

18elders:

Thanks for the explanation. No matter what happened, I find it incredible that MC wouldn't talk to you personally before kicking you out.

I'd like it if you could clarify one...

Ah hah... so how you do define qi gong? Last session we...

What was this Chi training that you were missing and where did you find it? If you took TC classes, I'm assuming that you found those to be deficient as well.

Well, as it turns out I'm not insured under my parents anymore so if I see the podiatrist I'll have to pay outta my own pocket. :(

Is there any particular reason you feel that you must try to attack me (an admitted newbie who, up until a month ago, knew almost nothing about MAs)? There's being harsh and then there's being an...

9dragonshijin:

My turn to be harsh.

So basically you're saying that I should just jump right in without any research whatsoever and never question anything wah lum teaches me? That's bull****....

Joe:

What exactly are you basing your assumptions on? Is it what you read on the website, or in your experience are all WL schools run in this manner?
