I am currently a student of a Traditional Chinese Martial Art. It is called Pai Te Lung Chuan Shih Yang. For anyone looking into a martial art... my specific advice would be do not rush into looking for one. There really is alot of garbage out in todays world. My suggestion is make sure the art you look into is %100 Traditional... otherwise your just burning a hole through your pocket. Martial arts does teach much much much more than how to fight, simply there's much more to it. When a person becomes a Martial Art Practitioner, he is going on a life journey. Anyway I found my kwoon completley by surprise. Also There is no such thing as a bad style of Martial Arts as long as it's real! There's this place down from my kwoon that advertises and makes garuntees and promises. They're full of themselves though... not in your interest! My Kwoon does not advertise... we do not want everyone to know what we learn! Only people who are serious train in my kwoon. That is my example of a serious martial art...
