I have travelled in the Orient extensively, and I have not come across another martial arts school that compares to the level of martial arts being taught in Asia. Taken out of context, it may seem odd to many in our country that students of the martial arts in Asia dedicate their entire life to their art. However, if you have spent time in Asia, you may have seen the unwavering focus, dedication, and determination (much more than just physical martial arts that are common in North America) that results from these true martial arts.
If you have not experienced traditional martial arts, you will find the closest thing to it is the School of Oom Yung Doe. It is not a sport as much as it is about spending time developing and defining your own character--something that others will do for you if you do not do it for yourself.
As a student of life and health, I highly recommend this school (if you are looking for a TRADITIONAL martial art).
