Age should not be a barrier to learning Chinese Martial Arts as they all emphasis using a relaxed force. It's not karate. All these comments about white crane being a soft/hard system is not correct as White Crane is an internal system using a relaxed force. If you are hard that means you are not using Chin (relaxation), but Li (hardness).
I need to think about whether I want to make available my teacher's private white crane DVDS to the public or not. There is already too much information available on Youtube and anything more will just confuse an already too confused public. It is my claim that most people don't want to learn real white crane, tai chi or any true martial art, but only want to know how to kill people more easily and efficiently and/or collect lost of forms and DVDs.
Hardly anyone is interested in the spiritual aspects of martial arts as taught by taoism and Chinese Buddhism (Chan). I'm confident that I can handle 60% of people and for me that's enough what's the point in becoming the next Bruce Lee if I die young. There comes the time when everyone need to ask themselves Why am I learning tai chi, white crane or whatever you're learning? Because in the end the old master taught the same things. It's whether we want to listen to them, What's the point in being a killer when you 70+. Just read the classics of tai chi, white crane, xingyiquan, etc, everything is there. We have far too much information than we will ever need. As Master Ni Hua Ching said "most of us know far more than all the sages of China throughout it's 8000 years, but we don't know the most basic things" Master Huang "Learn less practice more"
