1) How much of your life right now is devoted to CMA?
2) What are you studying and how long have you been doing it?
3) If there was one particular CMA art that you wish you could learn, what would it be? (i.e. it isnt offered anywhere near you but you are fascinated by what you know of it and would love to take it given the opportunity)
4) Do you ever find yourself trying to find ways to learn another CM art in conjunction with what you know?
5) What are your aspirations?
^) What dream of yours when it comes to CMA's would u really like to come true, and or working hard to make it come true?
7) What is it that fascinates you about CMA's?
1) I am training in the CMA for about 10 months only, but I learned alot in these 10 months. I have enough knowledge that might allow me to discuss about it.
2) Wing Chun, about 10 months + some old karate experience, some general kungfu of animals (Choy lay fat), of course an expert in using the nunchaku and street encounter weaponry.
3) Tai Chi, I beleive that experts in Tai Chi are the toughest people in the world. They can derive a vey big amount of power to fight, carry extremely heavy weights, and take blows of attacks in fights without pain.
4) Yes, I read alot in martial arts sites, not only MT, because here I really spent most of my time in the Wing Chun section.
5) My aspiration in the martial way is to retrieve back the heritage of the CMA, I consider the CMA the best martial arts ever, they were the anccesstors of Karate, Jujitsu, Muay Thai, Nunjitsu, Arnis, escrima, and all other asian martial arts. If someone really trains the CMA arts with devotion and honesty, he will be the best, I am sure. It is very heart breaking to find those current MMA and grapplers who makes silly jokes about CMA because they defeated every body in the ring. What I want to say is that those CMA combating systems never lacked techniques and concepts, they are better than all other systems, but we lack good trainers and combatants, and that is due to the long time it needs for someone to master them, exactly opposite to grappling and submission fighting systems, that takes a short time.
6) Same as your answer to this question
7) It is a way of living, a lifestyle, a physical, mental, and spiritual aspects that helps the individual in all the aspects of life, and it's really effective. Master Hou Yuan Jia proved that CMA was always the best arts ever made. He defeated boxers, wreslers, and Japanese fighters who were Jujitsu grappling master, and still the hope is still there. We have excellent CMA combatants, but they never boast and they are humble in which they never tell you about themselves and they use their skill when it is neccessary, that's why it is really hard to find them and you will find people laughing when they hear this because they don't beleive it, once I were told that I am a dreamer that still beleive in kids stuff, well, I don't care what others say, as long as I have a prove about what I am saying. Many of the times people boasted their skills in rings and competition, and many of the time we heard that those people lost in silly fights in the street to people that even doesn't have a fighter's appearance, one punch and every thing is gone to this champion. The name, popularity, and even his
PRIDE.
