Future venturing

I had been thinking a lot during the trip in Beijing, especially the last day of training. Why? Because I accidentally trigger the injury on my right leg. It's vey minor, but still induce pain for the next few days. Then I had been thinking, more on when I got back to Singapore. Do I want to sacrifice my leg to be a good performer instead to be a good fighter? I definitely learned some routines in wushu that allows me to find better, but strickly speaking on got shaolin staff and drunken fist. Drunken fist I speak alot of time to get it into a practical fighting system for me, but the rest are not. The broadsword are quite useless in a fight, it's not that you can't find broadsword anymore, but the moves inside is useless.

Wing chun is not wushu, it's kungfu. Wing chun is a very practical and stylish style of fighting system.

Summarizing what I know can be of practical fighting system, it's taekwondo, wing chun, drunken fist and shaolin staff.

So what about the future? What styles will I venture into? I had no idea, but I had a few in mind which I want to venture into. There are  'baguazhang(八卦掌)', judo(could be japanese or brazilian, depends), aikido or karate. The chances that are higher are baguazhang, judo or karate. I'll see what fate will bring me into. Oh yeah, forgot to say that shaolin style, I'm also interested in venturing into. Haha, ain't I a martial arts craze?
