"Tan Tui" or "Spring Kicks"(Part 2)

http://wongkk.com/video-clips/shaolin/spring-kicks02.html
Though many martial artists may find it hard to believe, it is true that if a Tan Tui exponent is skilful he can apply a sequence from the "Twelve Sequences of Tan Tui" to attack an opponent almost irrespective of how the opponent responses! This principle of sequence attack may also be true in all other kungfu styles, but it is in Tan Tui that this tactic is most applicable. It is not without good reasons that Tai Tui is sometimes regarded as the "essence of Northern Shaolin". Sifu Wong shows Michael Chow of Shaolin Wahnam Canada an example of how to use a sequence from Tan Tui to implement this tactic of pressing attack

hey if i start this form at 16 would i be able to master it in a reasonable amount of time 15 yrs ?

[shaolindrunk]

true mastery is something difficult to comprehend and even harder to grasp, if I were to assume you meant practice the form and only the form on your own, you could not master it even if you practiced everyday without fail for more than 30 years! having a master makes all the difference, but they have to be competent, with a good master it's not unreasonable to achieve formidable fighting skill with the patterns in this form in about 6 months
