How do I choose between martial arts and my mentor?

If I were you, I would choose your father-in-law. Although in the traditional martial arts world, respect for the master is especially important. But in the traditional martial arts world, it is said that the masters of the religious to leave a hand, even if your master is good to you, it is not possible to pass on all the skills to you. But your father-in-law is different After all, you count him half a son, the former martial arts practitioners pay attention to the transmission of male not female, female not outside. As a son-in-law, you will definitely receive the true transmission.

You said you used to practice martial arts for more than ten years, your master is a master of internal boxing, your attainments in internal boxing must be very high. You must be very good at internal martial arts. You must be very good at containing qi and cultivating qi. But you should also know that External Fist focuses on the tendons and bones, and on generating power. It utilizes every part of the body as a weapon. Fist techniques generally focus on rigidity and ferocity. True martial artists emphasize both internal and external training. Nurturing qi and practicing qi is to have a better body, your body is qi must be very strong, if you start practicing external boxing, definitely much stronger than those who have not practiced internal boxing. Chinese martial arts have been practiced both internally and externally since early times. The internal and external martial arts have their own weaknesses to a greater or lesser extent, to make up for the shortcomings is the best, you have also said that they are extremely obsessed with martial arts, really martial artists, the most sought after is the martial arts itself, rather than the form of martial arts.

On the other hand, from the family point of view, your wife certainly hope that you can follow your father-in-law to practice martial arts, although the mouth does not say but the heart must be very hopeful. For the sake of your relationship you also need to carefully consider

Your master that side. You must apologize, your master may not understand you back (generally famous martial artists are very temperamental), but you have to understand and your master, and then go to see his old man on New Year's Day, proving that you have always remembered the master, so long as it is a true person, and will not blame you, and vice versa, I do not say, because the martial arts practitioners, the first priority of the martial arts virtue, if so do not forgive you, you choose your father-in-law Instead, better

This is my opinion is very admirable you really very have martial arts virtue now practicing martial arts people rarely have this
