What benefits will i get from chinese martial arts ?
If you choose to steady a traditional martial you will find many benefits, some will take time to develop and others will become apparent early in your training. Anything worth doing is worth doing well and for an extended period time. Give yourself time to develop in the art.





I'm not familiar with the first style you mentioned but Wing Chun is well known and quite diverse. Jackie Chan's favortie style if I'm not mistaken.





Find out if these arts work on internal aspects as well. You will want to learn as much internal as external to create a powerful base in your art.





If you want to look into more free fighting arts try Kung Fu San Soo. This is not a traditional kung fu style but focuses on aspects of free fighting, it has leverages, takedowns, throws, striking and lots of great manipulations. All chinese martial arts have a form of boxing or free fighting aspect to them San Soo focuses 100% on this aspect of the art. It's a down and dirty self defense martial art.





Whatever martial art you seek find one that fits you as a person and be sure to find an instructor you enjoy and respect. Also be prepared to be a good student.





I recently read a story that is very applicable to new potentially, head strong students (not suggesting anything I simply like this story for new students). A ninja climbed a great wall and entered a well known master's home to plead for the master to teach him his style of fighting. Upon hearing the request the master immediately left the room and returned with a pot of hot tea and cup, he placed the tea cup down and began filling the tea cup which quickly overflowed and began to puddle on the table. The ninja exclaims to the master, master your cup is overflowing you should stop pouring. The master quickly replied this tea cup is like you, you are so full there is no more room for my training. To be a good student first you must empty yourself, are you able to humble yourself?





Remain a student for the entirety of your life and be humble in your practice and endeavors. You never know when your next teacher will appear so learn from everyone you encounter in your life and in your art.





Enjoy your quest and enjoy finding yourself through your studies.

Reply:Benefits? A great Body.





And the knowledge to defend one's self and others. Do you need anything more?
Reply:The benefits to practicing Kung Fu are many and varied, I would recommend to get the most out of any art you should select one and dedicate some time to it. Wing Chun Kung Fu is designed to be learned over a period of around 5 years of full time training which is pretty rare these days which is why people seem to think that it isn't effective for "real" fighting, realistically there aren't many people that have the dicipline, time or faith in a style to train it in the way that it was inteded to be learnt and this is why these styles are more readily being discarded or being merged with other ideas to make the journey quicker.





I can't tell you much about Jow Ga as I do not practice it. I do however practice Wing Chun and do believe it to be an excellent and well thought out system depending upon the style of Wing Chun that you learn, try to find a teacher that is open to new ideas and training methods.





Wing Chun has both an internal and external focus so this will benefit both your body and mind, however most martial arts have this aspect as it understood that you must first master yourself before you can master someone else.
