Perhaps more challenging the actually training until one has a general undersatnding of a style is choosing the correct style and (also) choosing a school!
I have a Green Sash in Hung Gar but Im thinking of switching schools because:
The energy of the school im in doesnt feel right. The place doesnt inspire me.
The instruction isnt that serious. The teacher is very knwoledgeable and a good martial artist, but he is too conserned with giving theories on martial arts and talking and not treating his students like plants that need regular water.
Its too far away.
The classes arent long enough and during them we dont train hard enough, its not that much of a challenge.
some thoughts that might be of interest to those of you still looking for a new school. Im a bit on the fence about starting a new style, but my currentl school just doesnt inspire anymore. It is wise to be wise in selecting a school!
Thoughts?
