Martial Arts

[nomis]

Recently I've become quite interested in Martial Arts, particularly that of Tai Chi and Wing Chun. I have no idea where to start. Could someone please give me a helping hand?

Have you ever looked at European martial arts?

No its not. It is a martial art style. Tae Guk Sam Jeong is a form.

oh, i see.  the fight witnessed by ng mui between a snake and a crane passed on to wing chun, who was going to be forced to marry a man she didn't love.  ok.  this is really romantic.  she learns what later is to be called wing chun, and marries the man of her dreams by whipping the guy who was going to force her to be his wife.  that's really interesting.

Sorry for the misuse of jargon.

[pianistimo]

wing chun probably didn't even know herself.  she just put the style and form together by watching ng mui.  it must have been like fighting herself.  'i am now a snake.  i am now a crane.'  the poor guy was probably confused by her switching sides so much.
