How Many Years Does It Take to Become a Martial Arts Master?

[I:https://healthclub90.com/storage/2011/08/AlCase3.jpg] How many years does it take to become a Martial Arts Master? What a fascinating question. There is an easy answer to this, and it will apply to any art you study, be it taekwondo, aikido, pa kua chang, or whatever.

To get to this simple answer, however, you have to consider a couple of things. Really, you have to toss out the misconceptions people have about the fighting disciplines. If you can get rid of the garbage, the answer is quite easily arrived at.

First, it depends on who you study with. You see, lineage doesn’t matter. What matters is whether the sensei you study with knows anything.

Second, your teacher must have the ability to teach. It is important that he know something, but he must be able to get that data to you. A martial arts instructor must know how to teach.

Third, you must study an art that includes all arts. Well, there goes the ballgame. You see, with very few exceptions, no art includes all arts.

All martial arts have held themselves apart, believing that they are superior, and the other fellow is inferior. This is rather ludicrous, as the most important factor of the eastern disciplines is that a fist is coming, or a throw is coming, and everything is grown from those two facts. Using those two facts as your yin and yang, you can actually figure out all martial arts, and even make them into one martial arts system that includes all the others.

Fourth you need a superior training concept. Drilling as a group is okay, but only for young children. Somewhere along the line you are going to have to actually learn what is actually occurring when you perform a martial arts technique.

Fifth, and this is the most important, and most neglected of all the factors I have listed, you must understand what you are doing. In most Martial Art Dojos, you see, the students do mindless drilling, and the belief is that if you drill long enough you will see the reason for what you are doing. Unfortunately, this is probably one of the core reasons why people drop out of such arts as Shaolin, Tai Chi Chuan, or even Ninjitsu.

People don’t want to practice in the dark. Would you like to charge through an unlit room filled with smashing fists, thunderous kicks, body slamming throws, and other dangerous things? Nobody in their right mind would, and that is why so few students complete their training and actually learn Karate, or kung fu, or kenpo, or whatever.

That all said, there is one system we have discovered that has managed to solve all the above points…just head over to Monster Martial Arts and it only takes about a year to become a Martial Arts Master.
