Don´t know what to do

[JessyBlue]

In september I´m going to start my studies at the university.
Now I have the choice between: 1. staying near to where I live
or 2. moving somewhere else, far away.

The problem is that if I move away I have to go away from my Dojo.
That does not sound so difficult you would say?
...But it is; The style I practice isn´t popular in Germany, so if I move away I´d have to change my MA style!!!!!
On the other hand, the subject I want to study may be better somewhere else.

See the point?
It is clear that I have to set priorities but it is damn f***ing hard.
MA is probably what keeps me alive.
Hope you have any good advice for me.

Thank you

Education has to come first in todays world I think. You have all the rest of you life to study MA, but you wont be able to practice your MA if you cant afford a roof over your head!!!!

I dont know which part of Deuschland you are looking at University in but I know that Seven Star Praying Mantis Kung Fu is quite big in Deuschland.

Check out www.mantis-kung-fu.de

Dont know what the teachers are like but hope that it helps, you can always go back to your original style in the future.

Normally universities have many martial arts clubs.

That´s a good point Keef.
Question: Will I be able to keep my weapon (chien \ chinese sword)?

i would think the university should definetly take priority even if you have to move away from the dojo trying different styles and different training methods with other people should imporve your MA ability if anything

Jes Jessy, The mantis system has lots of weapons including many types of chinese swords such as the broadswoard and straight sword.
