The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

First of all, there are two parts of martial arts, one is the routine and the other is the offense and defense. Route is a variety of boxing routines, do not look at what the role of boxing, but this is the basic components of martial arts, "Route" can exercise the body's flexibility, agility, coordination, balance, strength, endurance, etc.; "attack and defense" is that you hit me defense, I hit you defense, is a real real battle. I hit you defense, is really real combat

Now teach basically sets, those martial arts schools are basically the same. Including Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao ah and so on. Among them, Jackie Chan Hong Jinbao such or theater born, they are not learning offense and defense, but they are flowers, at first, but after the passage of time, their hands natural slowly strengthened. And offense and defense can now learn very little very little, can be said to be extinct (except for sparring)
