How long does it take to become a martial arts Master? What an interesting question. There is a simple answer, and it will apply to any art you study, be it taekwondo, aikido, tai chi chuan, or whatever.
You know, the martial art of Karate sometimes gets a bad rap. You see all the UFC guys knocking the stuffings out of their opponents, and you wonder why, if Karate is so darned good, you don’t see it in the octagon. The problem, to be honest, lies with Classical Karate training methods.

When it comes down to down and dirty self defense, a hard fist is especially desired. Of course, what training method does one use to get a fist hard enough to make for a powerful punch? The answer is through the use of good, solid Karate training.

Tai Chi Chuan is the art that speaks of emptiness. One must move without force to realize the true depth of this ancient art. And, in Tai Chi, you might run out of energy, but you’ll never run out of nothing.
