This is a riddle i am looking for the answer to this When you begin martial arts you see the colors when you end martial arts you see the light?
I don't think this is necessarily a riddle, more of a philosophy. My interpretation would be as new comers to the martial arts, many people are obsessed with obtaining their next rank, or colored belt. If you stay dedicated and disciplined, you learn martial arts is not about the belts and colors, it's about the knowledge you gain, hence "The light'.

How do you choose a martial arts school?
Have you seen how many martial arts schools are in your local phonebook? How do you know if you're choosing the right school? This article will feature advice on choosing the right martial arts school for your child.Everywhere you turn there's a martial arts school! It is estimated there is 20,000 martial arts school in the U.S. alone. Chances are you have at least one school within a few miles of your home. Today's martial arts schools ranges from garage-based schools, to fancy mega-schools with multiple training floors and observation lounges. Based on national averages, martial arts schools charge about $125 per month, but schools can be found charging anywhere from $35.00 to more than $200/month.Because most parents are not experts in martial arts they will typically choose a martial arts school based on either price or convenience of the location. Unfortunately, choosing a martial arts school is not as simple as comparing prices or the proximity from your home. It may be cliché, but if you compare martial arts schools, you're comparing apples to oranges. If you plan to enroll your child in martial arts school with goal of building his/her self-esteem or empowering him/her with the ability to defend his/herself it may take a minimum of one year of training, but likely more. That being said, choosing the wrong school can lead to your child wanting to quit before the goal is achieved. Choosing the right school can have a life-changing affect on your child.Martial arts consultant, and a veteran school owner, Tom Callos, says, "You evaluate a martial arts school the same way you would evaluate any school you would take your child to. Just because you're thinking of joining a school that teaches the "ancient art of self defense," doesn't mean you don't apply modern day scrutiny to their professionalism, teachers, and facilities."Here are six tips to finding the right martial arts school:The InstructorThis should be your number one focus when choosing the right school. A few qualities to look for in an instructor is someone that possesses confidence, courtesy, a positive attitude, and professionalism. Look for an instructor that treats his/her students with respect, as you would like your child to treat you. Gone are the days of respect from intimidation. The instructor will hopefully be wearing a black belt, which should indicate that he/she has attained a high-level of proficiency within their school. The belt does not necessarily translate that he or she will be a great teacher. Watch a class or better yet have your child participate in a trial lesson to see how the instructor interacts with the students and/or your child. Not getting a good vibe, maybe this is not the school for you.The CurriculumOver 93% of parents polled in a national survey indicated they wanted their child to be more confident, focused, disciplined and respectful. Do you want the same for your child? These life-skills are what most martial arts schools tell you they teach. But how do they teach it? Ask to see how the school teaches character development. In some schools the process happens by osmosis. There is no set curriculum and it either happens or not. The top schools martial arts schools invest in a system for teaching personal development that ensures all students are equipped with the same values, regardless of which instructor is teaching the class. Make sure the character education program caters to your child's learning style. If the lessons are all auditory (i.e. reading stories in class) that may not work best for children who are more visual or kinesthetic (action-based) learners. If the school has no "system" for teaching character education then there are no guarantees your child will gain the values you desire.The StudentsAre there a lot of intermediate and advanced students in classes? Chances are you've found a school that knows how to enroll and keep its students; that's a good sign! If you go to a school that's been in business for a year or longer and it's still empty, something's not right with the school. Most martial arts teachers think their classes are the best classes -- the way that most restaurateurs think that their food is the best food. If the parking lot is empty, it's a sign that the customers have a different opinion. On a side note, big does not always equal best. Make sure that your child will receive the personal attention that he or she would receive in school. The student to teacher ratio should not exceed 25 to 1.The StyleWhen shopping for the right martial arts school, the "style" the school teaches is not nearly as important as who teaches the class. A good instructor will inspire your child to be their best. There is not one style that is best for kids. Each style will offer something different. One may focus on kicks and strikes, one may emphasize throws and rolls, and another may concentrate on ground defense. A qualified instructor will not teach your child self-offense. Each style should and will, if taught by a good instructor, teach self-defense; so there is no need to worry that your child will become the next playground bully.The CommitmentMost schools will give you and/or your child an opportunity to try martial arts before making a commitment. Martial arts schools typically will offer a free class, a free private lesson or an introductory course. This gives you an opportunity to evaluate the instructor and program and determine if what they promise and what they deliver are congruent. If there seems to be a deviation from what you've been promised or the instructor doesn't seem to "live up to the hype"; perhaps it's time to move on. If the school doesn't offer a trial program and wants to sign you up on a long-term commitment that should be a definite red flag.Do Your ResearchMost schools will have information that you can peruse on the Internet that should tell about the instructor, and the features and benefits of the school. The theme and content of the website may give you a good indication of whether this is a school you may want to consider. Remember why you want to enroll your child in martial arts and see if the website content addresses those needs. If instead the website is more focused on boasting the accomplishments of the instructor having won several championships, breaking bricks with the touch of his/her hand, or the instructor has high ranking degrees in several different martial arts, you may want to proceed with caution. Remember this quote, "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care." Be impressed by the instructor, not the credentials.

Who in China made up martial arts?
The Chinese martial arts was not made by one person, but is an accumulation of works by millions of people. Shaolin martial art is the pearl of Chinese wisdom, which was handed down by lots of China's top martial artists. No nation is hermetic(air tight/free of external dynamics). Chinese Martial Arts just as any other classification of cultural arts or phenomenons are a result of indigenous(Native), endogenous(produced from within the culture or by result of a reaction as a need to adapt), and also external influences. Legend says that an Indian warrior/prince caste named Bodhidharma/Da Mo brought knowledge of India's Kaliripiyattu fighting system and used it to create exercises that were both for strength and discipline, as well as having self defense value. He is considered China's first regal patriarch. Bodhidharma/Da Mo supposedly meditated for nine years on the problem of finding the Buddhist monks in such poor condition and they were easy targets for robbers. The result was the "Eighteen Hands of Lohan/Arhat" and the "Muscle Tendon Changes exercises". Yet, there was war prior to Da Mo's entrance to China. These violent encounters birthed battlefield tactics and methods of fighting, although they were not "systemized", they existed nonetheless. Equally so, nobody can discount Chinese locals developing their own 'brand" of defense. What is peculiar/note-worthy is that neither India nor China systemized fighting systems until after they had met the tidal force of the mighty armies of Alexander. Alexander's soldiers were all trained in Pankration (Greek "Game of Powers"); the hardcore Gladiatorial fighting system employing every part of the body. I am suggesting that such influences played a large role of the spread of "War Arts/Martial Arts". Did you know that the earliest "Yin/Yang" symbol was found on a Roman shield? It was older than any ancient Chinese Taoist scripts! It represented fire and water - total opposites/dualities. This later idea was introduced to Chinese philosophers whom either adopted the symbol/amigeri heralded by the Western Roman Empire. Later, trade routes opened and influences mixed from culture to culture/contact to contact/encounter upon encounter. China's Martial Arts whether termed Ancient, Traditional, Contemporary are all a synergistic phenomenon. Hence, I educate others to see Chinese Martial Arts and all others as gifts (not secrets) from many cultural exchanges (some not so kind) and we all stand to gain much by interacting and exchanging methods. I say that all Martial Arts/Combat Systems have commonalities' or universals that are discovered and spread as a result of experience and wisdom. I hope the Martial Arts communities begin to see that we are all one family, with different names, and characteristics. However, the blood that flows in our veins carry 99.9% similarity in DNA. Hence, there really is no "Chinese" or "Roman" or "Japanese" Martial Arts as these ideas are free and belong to those that labor to discover them. Martial Arts including all the methods, training, and philosophy are a culturally universal phenomenon. Now with Science and technology and Critical Thinking we can use it as a means for gaining peace and maintaining our health, minds, and social cohesiveness. I think Martial Arts can be used to change the whole world it is after all a "human experience".
What is Kung Fu used for?
It depends on what time period we are talking about. During most of dynastic China (11th c. BCE - 20th c. CE), the martial arts, in this case skill with military weapons like spears, bows, and swords, were used with the expressed purpose of killing soldiers on the battlefield. Boxing and wrestling had no practical use in warfare for two reasons: 1) soldiers fought in tight formations with weapons; and 2) punching and kicking would have no effect on men wearing armor. Unarmed fighting was primarily used to help prepare soldiers for weapons training and to keep their bodies fit between battles. Men who had been conscripted later returned to their lives and used the skills that they had learned to defend themselves and their families. The number of people living in the civilian population who knew martial arts fluctuated over the centuries. This number was usually at its highest during times of war and lowest during times of peace. It was during the Song Dynasty (10th - 13th c. CE) when circus-like displays of martial skill-e.g., wrestling and mock sword duels-became a popular form of spectator entertainment. This influenced depictions of martial arts in stage plays in later dynasties. Barring Confucian archery, the martial arts were not looked upon as a type of self-cultivation until the 19th century. China had used guns in warfare from at least the 13th century; however, the advanced firepower that European forces introduced in the 19th century made boxing and traditional military weapons obsolete. Just like scholars who could not gain government positions came to look upon their studies as a form of self-cultivation, so too did the practitioners of Chinese martial arts who could no longer use it on the battlefield. During the mid-20th century, martial arts entered the realm of sports with the inception of competitive forms competitions. The Communists encouraged these sporting events because they satiated the people's need for martial expression, while also redirecting any restlessness that might pose a threat to the government towards physical training. In conclusion, martial arts were used for killing, self-dense, entertainment, self-cultivation, and sport over the centuries.For a more detailed explanation, see the book Chinese Martial Arts: From Antiquity to the Twenty-First Century (2012) by Prof. Peter Lorge.
