thanks for the update;

I still think 10 years of dedication is alright.

but 10 years of isolation from the outside world altogether may not be good.

usually, it is a journey of a life time, or life long persuit.

in short, we are not machine, even machine needs downtime or maintenance.

along the same line,

I am against China's raising and training kids for olympic golds.

kids growing up with fellow kids and not with parents and relatives.

sort of cruel.

everything comes with a price, I guess.

5 years of shuaijiao training is an excellent training regimen!

You will then understand most MA systems if your teacher is from the "old school" because shuaijiao contains elements that have withstood time regarding application and understanding. I am not saying is the best. Only saying that being more reality oriented, you can see what most systems are trying to employ when they do them and have the appropriate response.

It is the individual behind the art with the excellent conditioning and respect for all style!
