The martial arts school is made so westerners (like myself) can go there and  learn the real deal. Its owned by a man from England. I'll be staying on campus at the school.

I'm really not worried about not connecting with the people at all. I've been taking Rosetta Stone lessons in Madarin, Chinese, and they have classes for the language at the school too.

Also the actual school is in the Taining Geopark. Not in a big city!

Trust me I've read and read and studied up on the location, and everything about the school possible. This isn't something I would just do on a whim without thinking about it.

yeah they never get lazy my dad once was at a meeting there they showed a lovely place full of mountains and grass ...then they showed it as a city someone in the meeting went "wheres the mountain" and they went
"ah we moved it" THEY ACTUALLY MOVED A ENTIRE MOUNTAIN FOR A CITY ...honestly if you like living in a nice quiet place that never changes...don't go there ....and also they have very few building regulations and our flat or home could be unstable...its because as the saying goes "Build It And They Will Come"

yo somewhere in europe, they are building a mountain!!!!

it is in a country where it's mainly flat land.

I highly recommend getting some training WHILE you at least get an Associates in Education and/or teaching. I have studied Chinese Martial Arts under a traditional master for over 22 years, and you're really going to need some prior experience to make the training easier to understand. Though many styles differ greatly, the basics are universal. If you plan on teaching Martial Arts, make sure you can teach, too. When I first was promoted to High Senior, I had to start assisting my master in teaching, and let me tell you, before then, I couldn't even teach worth of shit. (That even applies to playing simple games for children, or teaching them basic dance. I really couldn't teach to save my life.) In learning to teach, you also learn to be a proper student. Discipline, practicing and conditioning is just the very tip of the iceberg.

I do have martial arts experience. I'm learning Xing Yong Chi Lu Chuan Shaolin 8 Animal Kung Fu right now from a great teacher. I will have no problem learning at all. I practice everything I know every day, regardless of whether I "got it down" or not. And also this school is built around the fact that people with a passion for martial arts, from ANYWHERE, can come there and learn from some of the best masters in China, even without prior martial arts training, so that won't be a huge problem. :P But I understand what you're saying fully.

My first master had come from Shaolin. My 2nd master was actually from a long line of Ittoryu masters.

Traditional masters vary, so your master might just be one of those who only train like 10 students. Mine opened her own dojo, but she's super epicly selective. I think there's currently only 30 or so students under her at this point. I had heard a few had given up and there were a couple new students in the last 6 months.

My Sifu has a total of around 6? or 7 or so students. I got lucky to get into her class. The only reason I was let in was because her teacher told me to go to her because she was closer.

I am a firm believe of going to comunity college first. It's cheaper and an easy introduction to college. My boyfriend did two years at our local comunity college and then went to the university. =)
