BronyPony 575 May 4, 2013 Share May 4, 2013 I know it takes much time to learn each one, but in general how would I go about doing it? Also, do they make up new moves for Kung Fu or Tai Chi constantly? It would be interesting to have a hobby like such where people can learn new moves every day.

Corruptvoid 32 May 4, 2013 Share May 4, 2013 I think you might have the wrong idea. While I have not studied either of those, I have studied Tae Kwon Do, Karate, and Hapkido. It's not about the moves. It's about self-discipline and motivation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care, I just want to learn them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corruptvoid 32 May 4, 2013 Share May 4, 2013 Anyway, the easiest (and maybe only realistic?) way to learn any martial art is to find a school that teaches it. It's kinda tough finding a good one, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to learn them, but my limitations mock me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main purpose of seeking teaching is to learn the proper way to do things. Especially as a beginner, you're going to do just about everything wrong, and probably have no clue. You're gonna want to get it corrected as soon as possible. As my instructor used to say: "Practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect". If you do something wrong over and over, you're not going to do it right eventually, you're going to form a habit of doing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to find something to do with my life. I really wanted to learn them, but all well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose 181 May 4, 2013 Share May 4, 2013 You want to be very careful about choosing a school when it comes to the Oriental martial arts, or really any martial arts for that matter... I seriously doubt you can properly learn any martial art yourself by watching web videos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
