> I actually have done martial arts for years! Black belt in Taekwondo, green in Ishinru Karate. A touch of aikido. I love it.
You have much more experience than myself, sounds like quite the journey.
> I think I shall look into various ways for unstructured study of martial arts.
If you find one, would you mind letting me know? My email's in my bio. I'll look as well and leave a comment if I find one (or if you email me I'll send one that way).
I've missed it.
> What I _really_ want to learn is a Kung Fu (particularly Shaolin)
Ooh, cool. I don't think I've met anyone who does Kung Fu yet. Capoeira and Judo are both on my bucket list, but I'll take anything over nothing.
> there's a place around here that teaches Chinese martial arts but it's crazy expensive.
I feel the pain of that. I was lucky, and the dojo where I started was willing to work with people. Haven't been since covid started, and am about to be leaving town, so may not be able to go back :(
