Finding a personal Martial Arts master?
Hi. I'm trying to find a personal Martial Arts master that can train me. Actually, i want to be his/her only 'disciple' and train under that martial arts master. (s)he can be a master at any martial arts. the reason im trying to find this master who teaches only one person is because of how fast i can achieve my goals in life and the actual training i will do with him. I would rather train at his home than in a dojo. I want to train my endurance, strength, skills- everything. Yes, i want that awesome master-disciple bonding. My goal, if all goes well, is to become a martial arts master. With my skills, i want to regularly go to China and help stop human trafficking. yeah, my goals seem pretty weird. im not even sure if i will be able to go that far in life... but i still want to try it out. I'm not even sure if there is such a thing as a 'personal martial arts master that only teaches you'. but, who knows, maybe there is some hermit martial arts master living in the mountains who doesn't take in any ordinary disciple lol. i've only heard of classes and private instructors of martial arts. but those aren't enough for me. classes go slow. private instructions go fast (which is good), but they're expensive and there is no bonding between the master and disciple. I'm willing to pay for my personal master, but not too much. maybe $5000 a year. seems unrealistic... also, the kind of master i want has to be a really great teacher and has to be able to take me on 'field trips'- such as, going to the sketchy parts of town and helping out women who get their purses stolen, etc. i've found this one master in karate, hapkido, boxing and some other martial arts who have been fighting for more than 30 years. the place is (amazingly) just 1 minute away from my home! but his private instructions are $350 and hour. that's insane! my dad only makes $9000 a year! plus, i suspect that there is no bonding between him and his students. so i won't practice under him. Is there any website that helps out people like me? i really want this master-disciple bonding. Well, thanks for helping!
