Hi, I have a black belt in Wu Wei Gung Fu. I have been inactive for about 4yrs. I studied a couple different arts from the same instructor but never obtained anything higher than a red belt in any of the other arts.
Im currently looking for a good school/instructor in possibly the Dallas/Ft.Worth or Austin areas of Texas. Im right in-between the two cities so I can make the drive to either.
When I was studying a few years ago there were some things that really actually caused me to loose interest. The way I was taught seemed a lot more flash than anything I could actually use. I learned a lot of hand forms and a lot of weapon forms but I never felt like I could actually use my weapons to defend myself. We also did little fighting, it was more drill based etc.
This time I don't plan on quitting. Im also a lot more picky now that I know what Im looking for. I want some place where the forms and weapons we are taught will be analyzed more closely so that I might actually be able to do more with a staff/sword than just make some flashy moves. I know its pretty difficult to find but I want a much more traditional training.
Im actually not very picky about the style, just as long as I can get a more traditional training, I want less flash and more practical use out of the weapons and movements that Im taught. Obviously Im looking for a Chinese style since I posted in here but Im pretty open, though if I had the choice Wing Chun would probably be my first choice.
Thanks for reading, If you know an instructor or school that would fit my needs please lemme know. Im gonna start driving around to all the schools starting this monday. Thanks again for any info you can throw my way.
