Is it really that slow?
Hi,
I'd just like to know what some other people's opinions are on the subject of development in Taijiquan and internal martial arts. Specifically, I mean the development of combat skill. For instance, I've read Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming's estimate which is at 10 years to be able to fight, while individuals like Erle Montaigue and William Chen have written that some functional skill can be obtained within a couple of years at most.
Any ideas?
