Is anyone else paying attention to the YMAA Retreat Center program?

It's a very interesting experiment. I want to see if there's a huge skill level difference between someone who's into a discipleship program such as this vs someone who's committed to a regular martial lifestyle that's also balanced with a real life.

During my high school year, I had used my summer time to train

- 6 days weekly, and
- 6 hours daily.

After 3 months of such training, I could feel a big diference. In college, I also jointed in a longfist class with different teacher (GM Han Ching-Tan's son) but from the same teacher's teacher. That teacher's comment to me was, "You are a class A student. All my students here are only class B students". Apparently the summer time serious training does make big difference.

agreed.

wish that YMAA offering mini programs or mini retreat for a few weeks.

like summer camp and winter camp.

Most people will like that

since we all have school or job or real life, family and such.

In the future, they may. I know he has the disciples teach classes locally and they set up a Skype teaching program as well () but I think that's to help the place make money (and it gives them experience with teaching).

Like I had said, 2wks of training = ~$1000 (you could save some money if you decide on less comfortable sleeping options).

I know Dr. Yang's son recently signed up for the program (I am not sure if he's gonna be doing it for 5 years or 10).

I'm curious how Dr. Yang set up certain body conditioning goals. Really, the whole program must've been a challenge to set up.

I forgot to mention in my original post (I'll fix that in a min) that the 10 year program is accredited and the disciples will get a Master's degree in Martial Arts.

A reporter asked Li Ao, "Do you have any regret in your life?" Li said, "My regret is I don't have enough girls in my life." The reporter then asked, "But you have more than 50 girls in your life include your movie star wife, famous singer, ...?" Li said, "If I didn't spend 15 years in prison for polictics reason, I would have more girls."

When Li was 72 years old, He told reporters that he stopped dating girls. Before that, his definition of girls had to meet the following categories:

- tall,
- skinny,
- white,
- pretty,
- young (any girl over 18 is too old for him).

I admire his love life big time. For those students that Dr. Yang has, their number of girls count in their life must be low.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. If they're in a 10-year program and they're training 6 days a week, that's not exactly easy to juggle a relationship with.
