Don't go "Its fake, thats not possible." just because you don't have the discipline or brass tacks to learn it. All styles have good points and bad points. It's the balance Yin and Yang that is found in all life. My ultimate point is If you haven't done it or tried it the how can you criticize it. Answer simple you can't. And just because you can't do something doesn't mean somebody else can't.
Yeah Kung Fu |
Hey baguaboxer, i think it comes down to what you want out of your martial arts. If you live in a friendly, isolated part of the world why not pick up taiji? Its awesome for relaxation, balance and clearness of mind. I know nothing of its combat effectiveness, because I've never seen it.
The 'iwantitnow' attitude exists for a reason, because people want to learn how to defend themselves now, not 20 years later.
