    The biggest waste of time, and it happens in all schools, is talk about other people , styles, and schools. Others, even in good schools, may fall for it: you shouldn't. Be humble, but work towards constantly progressing.
    I believe, together with this post, there is a lot of great advice in this thread for Tigerguy.

    I hope he works hard, keeps an inquisitive mind and has a great kung fu path.

Unfortunately, most traditional martial arts guys don't take conditioning very seriously and that's one of the main reasons why a lot of them suck so badly. A lot of traditional guys seem to be full of sour grapes when talking about guys who spend lots of time with conditioning. When is it ever an advantage to be fat? I don't care if you say your chi and ging are really good, being in shape is always better than not being in shape. Don't listen to the fatasses. If you want to be the best you can be, You MUST work hard on aerobic conditioning, flexibility, and strength training.
    When I first started longfist, I witnessed a guy who lost 65lbs in a year doing nothing but training and changing his diet. That said, we did plenty of calesthenics and conditioning.
