One of the things I found most amazing is when an old master said that it would take TEN YEARS to teach a student. The first five were just to learn the kind of person they were. The obvious reason is because you are teaching arts that can kill and you want to be certain that the person that is learning these things won't use them for negative means. It seemed like every old martial arts film I every watch made true.
And for those that watch I think Wushu being taught to children makes sense. Wushu gives conditioning, coordination, and acrobatics, All the cool things we like in our movie martial arts. When they are older they can learn the more traditional forms and hopefully be in the hands of someone that understand how dangerous they could be.
I wish they taught me Wushu when I was a wee one.
