Tschirnhaus Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Greetings!I signed up for this forum because I am seeking advice about weight training (see this thread: http://www.karateforums.com/weighted-clothes-weight-training-vt43244.html )I am a university student, and I will be turning 22 this summer. I study philosophy and literature (double-major) although my interests are wide-ranged with most intellectual subjects (i.e. mathematics, religious studies, history, physics, astronomy, classics, etc.). I plan on going to graduate school to get my Ph. D. in philosophy, focusing on early modern philosophy (particularly Spinoza and Leibniz). I am very interested in older Chinese culture (due to Leibniz, who was an expert in chinese culture, I also am fond of the Daodejing, and have committed the opening lines to memory in the original Chinese.)I while back I trained in Kenpo for a couple of years, and am seriously considering going back into a martial art. I live in Providence, RI. Perhaps someone here could recommend a form that would fit me to study. I enjoy the discipline and personal meditative qualities of martial arts, and the whole martial arts culture emphasizes a healthy lifestyle in both mind and body. I would really like to train my own self-defense, my speed, stamina, and especially my endurance. As a serious full-time student, I don't have all the time in the world. However, I just might be able to fit in a martial art training. I seriously considered jiu-jitsu, since I love using my kicks. I would really prefer a martial art that is old. The principles that founded a martial art is of importance to me.Anyway, that's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JusticeZero Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Looks like there might be a baguazhuang teacher in East Providence, but I cant speak to anything about them. Had the list open for some random reason.Look forward to hearing from you. "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly." - Baleia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
