Expert: Joe McSorley - 10/27/2009
Question
Hi. I live in New Delhi, India and am very much interested in learning Kung Fu since my childhood. I have been searching hard, but have not been able to find any teacher in New Delhi. Would you be able to help or guide me in the right direction please?
i would be a very sincere student.
thanks,
abhishek
Answer
Dear Abhishek,
I do not personally know of anyone teaching in New Delhi but there are different paths you can take. Decades ago I wanted to study classical sitar in Philadelphia which is as about as culturally removed from Philly as kung fu may be in New Delhi. I advertised in University newspapers and put signs up in the Indian community. Believe it or not I found a classically trained teacher who studied in Calcutta. I would suggest that you check out the schools in your area along with any Chinese community centers that might exist in the city. If there is something like a craigslist.org in your area I would use that too. I also strongly recommend that you read "The Sword Polisher's Record" by Adam Hsu so you understand what a real kung fu sifu is like and what a real style is about.
Also, magazines like Inside Kung Fu do have directories of schools in different areas so investigate that too. Good luck to you.
Joe
