I don't kow anything about Sifu Zhao. What is the focus of his teaching? Is he teaching a traditional system, or Modern Wushu?
If he is teaching something traditional, then I suspect the drunken would be a component of that system. He may take you as a student, but you may need to train the full system and would not learn any drunken material until he feels you are ready. That might be years. Just wanted to prepare you for the possibility.
If he is teaching Modern Wushu, then the drunken material would be of the Modern Wushu variety, which means it's meant more for competition and performance and not really for real fighting. Just wanted to also prepare you for that possibility.
I'm at work right now and am unable to view videos, so I cannot view the one posted above.
i sent an email asking more information. I fully respect Wushu practitioners but i want to learn Zui Quan from more of a self defense/traditional sense. i know its not as affective as most styles and its more showy but honestly i can see in a real life situation that it might be extremely advantagious. Im not saying against another well trained martial artisit, as they would see it and know what to expect but in real life situations the random footwork and movements could def be a better "surprise" tactic. Then again i dont really know, this is why i want to look into learning it. Everyone that i have seen talk about it a lot of times they say how "useless" it is accept for show...but....i still want to learn it, nothing wrong with that right? lol
