How do you master several different martial arts in a very short time?

Nothing I have said here is false in any way.

How many instructors have you trained?

That question has nothing to do with the quote.

I have not trained any, however I am a good teacher and i know what it takes to actually teach, and how to do it. When i do teach, my students learn the lessons very quickly.

The reason is that I have a goal in mind, and then break it all down into a step by step progressive plan to achieve that goal. One thing leads to the next and builds up incrementally.

In the past, I have seen people who teach a curriculum, in a certain order, but what thye teach, and the order they teach it does not seem to have a rhyme or reason, nor does it have any specific goal outside of teaching the curriculum itself, rather than using that curriculum as a tool to teach the skills and achieve the end goal.

For example, a teacher may just start teaching the curriculem as he was taught thinking that makes a good martial artists. His goals may be to build fighters, but somewhere down the line the curriculem he is passing was ACTUALLY designed to DEMILITARIZE his system, and he is unaware of that fact. So due to a lack of examination, he is actually teaching a curriculem that is on opposition to his current goals.

It takes 8 years before his students are able to actually fight. just as it took him 8 years. Instead of recognizing that his curriculem is developed to achieve the wrong goal, he thinks Kung Fu is a long and challenging road and never knows the same material can produce powerful fighters if only it was taught differently.

Where did he say it tales 8 years to be able to FIGHT with his kung fu?

To add to my last post, what I am looking for are the Chinese teacher who know that Kung Fu is a fighting art, and teach the system with a curriculum built on that goal, and not a more modern demilitarized curriculum.

And IF those teachers exist, why would they teach it to YOU?

That was somewhere in the other thread, but still I have heard this many times before as well. It was in a quote from the Hungar Master. I believe he used the word "Proficient" though. which to me means being able to use his skills successfully in a fight.

If you have been taught...what are you looking for?

Sadly the best teachers, who really know how to fight don’t teach publicly.

OK. Then how many fighters have you trained?

No, it has very little to do with fighting, you need to understand the generation you are talking about.
Fighting with a MA is the easy part.

I tend to agree with that. It seems the really good Kung Fu teachers are generally underground, and difficult to find.

[EDIT] Although Both Johnny Tsai and his Father ran/run public schools, so it it not necessarily that way all the time.

That is a project I will be working on next year.
