[QUOTE=CEOWDF;999793]Bawang: I don’t get the negativity. Or what you mean by mirage. If you think that I have some unreasonable expectations from what I’ll get from this trip then I can assure you I understand that I won’t learn how to shoot fireballs out of my [explicative deleted]. In any case going is not a choice thing. I can go and sit around all day watching the martial arts school and maybe working in the kitchen, or I can go and study at the martial arts school. I know which one I prefer.

lol, I was going to say the same thing - if u have a chance to study good baji or good tong bei, those would be worthwhile endeavors, IMPE; or the wrestling, because it’s immediately functional

It’s the SC training method that will help you to look at other CMA styles from a different angle. SC is a formless art. You first learn the application, you then learn how to enhance it by using the solo drill and equipment training (not the form first and application later approach). IMO, you will still be able to enhance your CMA skill when you are 80 years old. You won’t be able to start to develop your combat experience at that age.
If you can apply this kind of logic (develop combat skill first, enhance it later) in your striking art, you will never have problems such as:
- What’s the application for this move in my form? (You may have question such as what’s the solo drill for this application instead?)
- My foundation is not solid enough for me to fight in the ring. (Your foundation will be stronger in the future.)
- I’m not fighting with my style flavor. (You will fight with your style favor if you train long enough.)
Greetings,
CEOWDF:
You may want to ACTUALLY LOOK at what is being offered and make your decision then.
Have you considered teaching English while you are there? It will help offset your expenses. You may even command more cash than others since you are bilingual. You should really look into that. The “learning/exchange vibe” may be enhanced because you have something that is desired.

I thought that this is an ask ninja thread.
as pointed out
at first you see what they offer
and you look into what you need or want—
style is less of an issue
we all have to start somewhere and move on from there–
some would get a feel or some basic understanding of several styles
some would just work on the basics and build a good foundation of a single style
in the end, it is your money and time
you make the best of it for yourself

You forgot to warn him about the cobra and the pool of acid!
…oh yeah and the big, ugly, muscly guy who yells, [SIZE=“5”]DAH!!![/SIZE]
If you have to fight the big, ugly muscly guy I recommend biting him on the leg, I understand that works pretty well!:eek:
