muaythaiposer Posted July 6, 2002 Posted July 6, 2002 right down to it, it's what type of learning you like. when i was deciding what to do, i tried one class of shotokan, and one of san shou. learning shotokan at the beginning takes a lot of patience, due to the forms and such, but if you like to get right down into it, punching and kicking pads, san shou teaches you fighting techniques right away. wing chun spends a lot of time learning/perfecting the defensive-switch-offensive(sticky hands) . anyone of these will teach you defense, but instruction, and your style of learning is key. i went with sanshou
They Call Me Bruce Posted July 6, 2002 Author Posted July 6, 2002 im gonna take the wing chun place, the place is twice as good as the other place they do loads of tournaments they have punch bags wing chun wooden dummies, they also do muay thai and tai chi weapons what was pretty good to watch
Kensai Posted July 6, 2002 Posted July 6, 2002 Stay pure to one martial art. you will learn it better. Focus on that training. Mixing Martial arts at an early stage which have conflicting ideas would effect the rate at which you would progress. Choose the one which suits your personality, make sure that the Sensei or Sifu is good and the class atmosphere is pleasant. Above all enjoy. Remember that no martial art is better than another its all about YOU. Cheers Chris
