    Training and teaching in todays world is so different from what it used to be. Real apprenticeships were hardcore. You lived with your teacher, or close by and you did a lot for him outside of the art. That teacher became like a godfather. It just isn't like that so much these days. It must have a huge effect on the arts in general.

    This is true in most professions tho. In the west we rarely pass our skills on to our kids anymore. Farmers do still. A few other professions, but not many. Nepotism is like your best friend and your greatest enemy lol. Guess it depends how smart you are and what kind of stock you come from.

    We may start from boxing or kickboxing.

    We may start from Judo or Akido.

    As long as we continue our learning in punches, kicks, grappling and throws.

    There are many styles or specializations of skills in kung fu.

    As long as we start somewhere.

    and we continue our learning.

    I start with tan tui.

    I start with shuai jiao.

    the paths may vary.

    the destination is the same.
