New to this forum and to Chinese martial arts. I am 67 years old and new to Wing Chun. I have done martial arts over the last 40 years; however, my gym is offering Wing Chun and Kali. I really like these 2 arts and have done roughly 2 months of training. It is going slowly, but going. I like the tradition, mystique, attention to detail, and beauty of these 2 arts, plus I think for my age, these 2 arts would be more realistic for me to use in self-defense if I get skilled. I plan to incorporate a cane with these 2 arts. Plus my arthritis is making me consider just doing those 2 arts.. They don't aggravate my knee and hip, although a little rough on the shoulder.
Need a recommendation for a Wing Chun dummy. Thinking as a beginner, I should get a cheap one and then sell it when I get more skills. I am looking in the used market, but having little luck. Please suggest dummies that you recommend. Space is a problem, so I need a free-standing. Probably a base instead of a frame. However, I would like at least 5 years of life in the dummy I purchase. I am going to pay for some private lessons with my instructor to teach me some drills to do. Thank you in advance for any replies.
