Okay, here’s the deal. I have a passion for martial arts, and I never seem to have enough time to do all the training that I would like. I’ve always believed that it is important to be as well-rounded a martialist as I can be, which is why I want to study various types of stand-up fighting (currently taking Wing Chun, would also like to study jiu-jutsu, Kenpo, JKD, Escrima and other styles), become well-versed in grappling styles such as BJJ, and study the use of weapons, both traditional and modern. Ideally, besides these things I would like to take Tai Chi for better grace and balance, yoga for flexibility, Wushu for agility and acrobatics (I know it’s not super useful in most fights, but it’s fun and I still like to be as well-rounded as possible), and Muay Thai for body conditioning and basic fight experience (I have trouble shying away from punches). How do I find time in my entire life to study all that I want to and still have time for school, work, ministry, and family?
Two other things: 1) I’m dirt-poor.
If I only had the money for it, I would find practitioners in every style I want to study and pay for private classes.
2) Before anyone mentions, I know that yoga isn’t a martial art. I just want to take regular classes for the sake of my martial arts training.
