Ip man

Today I went and saw the movie 'Ip Man', it was very satisfying. The movie was about a Wing Chun artist, who was the strongest fighter in his city, and faced many opponents, and with each new opponent, there was a new victory. I think this was a bit of a one sided movie, but since it was based on the true story of Pi Man, the wing chun grandmaster, who had taught many succesful wing chun users including Bruce Lee, there may have been a fact to the theme of wing chun being one of the greater styles of kung fu.

Wing Chun, next to Tai'Chi is a great martial art, it utilises once again close combat, and is very fast, but is less of a gentle fist style than Tai'Chi. It uses the same principles of conserving energy and balance. It is powerful and I do suggest it, for I am going to begin it myself in a year or so after I have fully steadied my skill in Ninjutsu.

Ninjutsu is also similar, albeit a Japanese form, it is based on close combat, in all forms. I find it quite useful in learning about your self in the physical and mental sense, I feel personally more grown as a person from taking it up, and stronger.

In the end, when choosing a martial art it is best to find the very best, find those that other succesful martial artists use like Bruce Lee, or from other peoples personal experience. This is because you do not want to start learning a martial art like Karate, which will inevitably teach you bad fighting habits. Choose not soft fist, nor hard fist, choose balance, and a range that suits you.

Here is a list of my top three martial arts (in no particular order):
- Tai'Chi (Chuan/Yang)
- Wing Chun
- Ninjutsu

I have tried to keep this short, once again, if this is helping please do mark it so.
