Ever felt time was passing you by?
I'm 32 and learning Hung Gar just now after numerous years in various styles.
I now know that Hung Gar is the perfect style for me and has so much depth. I just wish I had started years ago......
Now, all I want to do is learn as much as possible as quickly as possible. This is a BAD thing as I know that I should spend time, perfect a small number of forms and gradually progress.
However, although I would never say that my basics are anywhere near perfect I feel that they are fairly good. I therefore seem able to pick things up quite quickly and my Sifu has acknowledged this by allowing me to learn some forms a bit before some of the rest of the class. I've also been allowed to take private lesson with the Sigung before my grade would really allow.
I just want to cram as much in as possible. Do any other "old timers" or "late comers" feel the same? Do you think its harmful to your overall progress? Or, if you've been in MA for a long time but switched styles late in the day, do you feel that you can make faster progress?
