people who do this all the time
There are people, and by people I mean 15 to 20-somethings who train and stuff day in and day out. How do you get into this kind of a lifestyle when you are in high school/college as these young people must be?
I recently saw something on the discovery channel called "xtreem martial arts". It was a few young kids who just do this all the time and it documented thier training and competition. They basically just did katas and then did forms/point sparring competition. It seems like a bunch of relatively neive young people practicing in a terrably unpractical fashion. Regardless, they got to train and practice daily for long hours, this is a lifestyle. I would enjoy this, though in a different manner. IS this possable in any way? How do these kids do it?
P.S.
These kids seem to be deticating so much to this stuff, I wonder if they plan to just do katas forever and then teach katas? I guess I can never knock on it, it is valid in its own traditional way, but I just think it is unpractical and lame.
