How far will you go to get first class training? If there isn't a qualified si-fu in your area, teaching what you want to learn, what lengths will you go to? Would you change your objectives to study another, more available martial art? Or, would you be willing to save every hard-earned penny to go out of state to attend seminars by top-flight instructors? Would you be willing to put yourself out and organize your own group from scratch so you could bring the instructor of your choice to your area to give seminars? Then, would you be willing to train hard in a garage or park and contine travelling to seminars until one of you made instructor rank? Or would you choose a different hobby? If you want to learn something really great and really rare, you need to ask yourself these questions. And, all you instructors out there. What did you have to do to get where you are?
