is it a good idea to do harder styles at first like karate or a muai htai

**lord shorty** · Posted On: 9/22/2008 9:31pm

or shaolin hard style (along with osmething like BJJ or soamething)

then progress later in life (not progress but add) something like wing chun

or skip wing chun and start doing tai chi or lo cup (dont know how to spell it)later in life (considered an internal style)

i heard that you can get very good at for example karTe or muay thai in like 10 years, but tai chi would take longer like 30 years

but i dont know what this actually means.

i think learning to fight with tai chi would be awesome

i have met someone htat could and it was pretty CRAZY.

So lord shorty, you decided to go ahead and register huh? Cool. Don't forget to review your dojo.

If the Tai Chi you're speaking of and the Tai Chi I'm thinking of are one and the same.... no. It wouldn't be awesome. It would end in you being thoroughly beaten, and becoming a living joke.

That's not as good a thing to say as you think it is. Go in the CMA forum and do some research.

Shorty, I think you already know the answers to those questions. Come on dude, Tai Chi? That's like for folks with arthritis and ****. You want to become a killer, tai chi ain't it. Judo/muay tai/bjj etc etc. In fact, aren't you training shotokan? That should good for now or add some ground game if you like. Tai chi, jesus christ...

I apologize in advance to any and all Tai Chi practitioners that may or may not have been offended with said statement.

If you have a video or something, please, I would love to see a Tai Chi master kick the **** out someone!
It would vindicate my time spent with Aikido.

School me Lord Shorty!!!!
