I have not practiced or trained my Wing Chun in well over40 years. Probably close to 50 years now. I felt that I was about as good as I would ever get. I have not lost it even now, and I do not have to do any particular stretch or execise to be able to do any of it even today at 67 years of age. If you are doing some other form of gung fu I suspect you will have to continue to do certain things in order to retain it, and even then age would exclude a great deal of it for you.
And even if the average man doesn't really know how to fight, it is not to say he can not inflict serious injury upon you. I have only fought one man that was gung fu trained and he was said to be the most dangerous mantis fighter in New Orleans area. I beat him so bad even my friends shunned me for being so brutal. Most of the people I have tussled with actually attempted to box with me. Some had taken karate classes for a little while and would attempt to do some dramatic high kick on me. I loved those. The ones I watched the most were the dudes with bald heads or super short hair. Most of them fancied themselves to be fighters of some sort.
Let me get this right... you are saying you are 200-0?
