Just got back from a two day Kung-fun patterns course which was really inspiring and exhausting in advance of my trip to China next month when I'll be training with two kung-fu masters.

I'm just getting more and more interested in this stuff but there seems to be less about it up here on the boards than there used to be.

So, as I finally put my feet up for a bit of relaxation I thought I'd ask what everyone else is up to with their Martial Arts these days.



I dont do the various martial arts that I used to do now due to injuries, age and over work LOL.
I have done Wado Ryu karate, Goju Ryu karate, Aikido, Wing Chun kungfu, Iaido, Ninpo (but not much) and I have just started back now at Tai Chi after many years as its easier on my poor acking bones.



You poor love! Sorry to hear about the injuries though.

Taichi is great though....and no soft option when taken to its full potential. I do it too as well as hard style kungfu and really enjoy it. In the end it is probably more lethal as a martial art if done properly. It's certainly not just tree-hugging like some people claim.

As for age, when I go out to China one of the masters is 64 and the other is 57......so there's no reason to give up martial arts unless your injuries force you.

Good luck with the taichi though.
