Treebranch Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 That's great, I wish I would have started earlier. I started around 8 years old. "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
Drunken Monkey Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 i remember when i was first introduced to wing chun i just wasn't interested. that was when i was about 7. five years later i was shown it again and i wanted to be able to do them things but wasn't keen on the hard work. 4 years pass and another chance cropped up for me to learn. haven't regretted a day since. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
sk0t Posted August 12, 2003 Author Posted August 12, 2003 <<<>> You couldnt be more right, all throughout my life I was dedicated to this one thing. For me it is more than just doing the martial arts it is living the martial arts. I find myself thinking about things non stop, every other second is thinking about something... I have notebook and notebooks of stuff that I just feel the need to write down. I am finding it more difficult to train more than 3 times a week now that I am have been in college for the past couple years, and med school is going to make things more difficult (if I get in)... But I have been lucky, and I have had no life! sk0t"I shall not be judged by what style I know, but how I apply that style againsts yours..."
Drunken Monkey Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 (too many typos) well, i know i strayed a little bit from topic but the post made me think. i had the chance to learn a lot earlier than i did but what would've happened if i did? would i be better or worse than i am now? if i learnt then would i know the things i do now or would i have developed bad habits? well, to this day i firmly believed that i started to learn at the right time because i was ready then. i wasn't ready when i was 7 and i wasn't ready when i was 12. at 16 (and during my g.c.s.es) i decided that it was time to take things seriously. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
sk0t Posted August 13, 2003 Author Posted August 13, 2003 Do you really think that you are ready to learn at 7, I dont think that a 7 year old has the comprehension of wether or not he WANTS to learn something... Learning = Bad I have to give a lot of credit to my parents...there were times when I was forced to go to 'karate' class and there were times when I couldnt get out the door fast enough to get there... I think that anyone who starts, no matter what time, or what age, is doing something that they will never understand... I have been doing this for almost 18 years, and let me tell you, I havent even begun to understand... sk0t"I shall not be judged by what style I know, but how I apply that style againsts yours..."
