Warm regards to all.

I am Kaustabh from India. I practice Hsing-I and Shaolin Jian. Also interested in Pa Kua and Chen/Yang Tai Chi. I am mainly interested in martial side of the Chinese internal arts and the jian. Feeling great becoming a part of the group of enthusiasts here. We will meet you again in threads.

Thanks friends. It appears that I am really going to enjoy my time here at MT. I was looking around different forums here and simply amazed seeing the depth and cooperation there. I was looking for exactly something like this to stay in touch with the martial world and to enrich myself.

The practice of martial arts is not very widespread here in India(except far south and the north east region of the country) and is mainly dominated by karate(various stiles). The Chinese practitioners are totally isolated from the mainstream. The situation is worse for the internal stylists. Almost none are aware of the real aspect of the arts and very few cares for them. Martial artists are not enjoying good reputation here and not many people like to be a part of this great tradition here. Now I feel I have entered a place where I can discuss the "real" thing. %-}



Many Thanks.
Kaustabh

Greetings, Kaustabh, and welcome to MT—it's good to have you with us, and as you've probably already already noticed, there is a very active Chinese MA forum. Enjoy your stay here!
