With all of the threads regarding various martial arts that claim to be kung fu this past year, I have begun to wonder just how it is that people do not take the time to research what they're paying for. Equally amazing is the amount of poop that's out there hiding under the mysterious blanket of CMA. It really disturbs me to see the level of ignorance out there as to where people's kung fu comes from and in many cases how it works... :erg:
As for myself:I guess at this point I could be referred to as a "non-traditional" practitioner of Hung Gar. By that I mean there is no mysteriousness, secrets, nor-information withheld in the process by which I teach my students. As an instructor, it's very important to be up front about where you learned, what you learned, and your experience actually using what you've learned and how that's affected your training process. Unfortunately, this may make for a very mundane background...
Anyway, as a lead in to the new year I will throw this out for discussion:
Chinese martial arts are among the least popular and most difficult to find quality instruction in. With the advent of MMA, Xtreme MA, Wushu, psuedo-CMA styles, and the overwhelming numbers of TKD schools out there....What do you all think the future of traditional CMA will be? :idunno:
