Martial arts - self training?

LiquidChaos66

Here is a question... some of you here have got to know something about martial arts... Which ever form it may be. Can you be self taught? Like if you watch youtube videos or read about it in books? Cause... Im still fat and don't like doing physical things in public. lol!

Tao style Tia Chi is great for strength, balance, and mind. Tia Chi is moving meditation. Google it up for a class near you. I have been a student for six years now.

Lots of good advice here. There is a group of older Chinese ladies who meet outside my coffee shop in the main city square, and they hold a tai chi class. It really is a slowed down form martial arts. When you slow something down you engage more muscles and build better form. That's not to say it isn't a great martial art either. Definitely find a good teacher for anything you do. I picked up a number of bad habit trying to self teach myself through book and YouTube videos. The saying goes it takes minutes to develop a habbit and years to get rid of a bad one. Good luck in your journey my friend!
