how important is martial arts to you

if someone were to offer you 10,000,000 to never do Kung fu again, would you take it. what if you could never do any MA again. how much is your skill worth?

I have injuries and then getting old.

So there are limits to what I can do.

If not MA, then there will be some other physical activities to take place of. such as walking, jogging, swim etc.

meditation and Qi Gong or breathing and relaxation exercises or even yoga.

money cannot buy health so it is said.

moderate physical activities and eating right would.

For $10,000,000 I'd be more than happy to give up all MA. I'd take up Chi Kung and just work out to keep myself in shape.

In this hypothetical, what would I hypothetically do? hmmm...I'd use a loophole. Gong Fu means time and effort. I'd take the money, still do Chinese martial arts, and never put in time and effort into some other activity (I'd come up with something I would never do in the first place).

one thing I wanna point out, qigong counts as Kung Fu.

And no, I wouldn't give up Kung Fu for $10,000,000. That's a ridiculous amount of money, and I'd be bored all day with nothing to do, because nuts if I'm gonna work after I'm that rich.

Besides, kung fu is more important that money anyway.

Sure. $10,000,000 buys a lot of guns.

So you're offering?

Sorry, don't have that kind of money to give. tai chi, qigong fall in the scope of kung fu. so you would have to give that up as well.

personaly, I would agree w/ street fighter the only thing I would want to do is spend money on things that relate to kung fu.

On the other hand If it was like my first week of class I'd take it in a heart beat, but now I've put in too much blood and sweat ( mostly sweat) into what I do
