Please say hello to @Gene McKeithan. Gene has been in martial arts for more than 10 years. Gene, please introduce yourself and tell us: - what style(s) of MA you have trained in, - If you have ever competed, and - what got you interested in MA in the first place.
Please weigh in on the poll about MA Forms, like the ones used in Tai Chi and other martial arts. Besides the poll, please let me know in the comments if you think it is possible to create forms from scratch based on what we see are the best movements for defense agains certain attacks.
Watch this video. Even though it is long it makes a lot of sense and has advice at the end that we should follow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGA8wYEdUpY
