Not necessarily true, Vin.
Although you are right that you'd need a base, I feel that goes so far as establishing a comprehensive knowledge of the body and the basics of martial arts strategy. From there, it's not too difficult to adapt things in a way that fit you.
But you can learn quite a bit just from educated research online. Look at enough of the right stuff and you can develop a good enough understanding of things to make a training regimen for yourself. I mean, you wont be able to go TOO far, but you can still form some sort of base.
However, without a teacher/master to guide you, there are just some things you can't learn, and it becomes harder to understand. Back when I was learning, it at least gave me the tools I needed to be comprehensive about martial arts, which will make learning a little easier when I find another school.
Are you saying you've -never- taken a martial arts course? Or did you take them, but they never got into any of the inner workings?
@Fiend: Yeah, that's it! See, I knew it was more than just fun hand wavy stuff.
That stance he did was definitely Sanchin.

Tenkai Matsumoto The Darth Vizzle EDIT:: Also, olive oil IS nasty. Downright ******** awful, unless you're cooking with it or using it to dress noodles with another sauce. Alternately, you can do a fruit detox, which is considerably more tasty. What about EVOO?
No idea how it tastes, but I know a lot of people recommend it as a source of healthy fats, not unlike olive oil.
I just know that straight, extra virgin olive oil is.. not good.
Much prefer to make it into a basil oil, or if I were going to do a detox, do shots of it followed by eating fruit. |

Vintrict There's a reason the Chinese have been developing their art for over 1500 years. They've done a lot of stuff already, so yes, I need to continue from what they learn instead of trying to relearn everything like they did. With the increase in technology, we now have accurate descriptions of how the body works, which makes the martials even more effective, though I wonder if some practical things are outdated due to finding out something completely different about how the body works. No qi or anything, since it's simply the feeling of your electromagnetic field and other biological processes that resemble "qi." Bah. I'll just research like I was doing and get a teacher when I can afford it.
I wouldn't say that. If anything, bioelectrical-magnetic whatsit IS ki. Don't put down ki with regards to martial arts.
I mean, you aren't going to be shooting fireballs or anything, but there's a difference.
There are only a few cases of using ki that I've seen that feel like a lot more than parlor tricks and hypnosis, and in all of those cases the people using them studied martial arts for a good long time. Whatever it is, it isn't something you just pick up.
Sadly, I have seen examples where people sortof advertise teaching the ability to knock people out without touching them, and they're completely bogus. If they're teaching it in a regular dojo where just anyone can sign up with the right money, then it's not real. |
