Wushu masters are the greatest athletes, without a doubt.They push the mind and body to the limit and beyond. that is what it takes to perform this art. they can do what gymnists do, but without the gym and equiptment. They may not have muscle but they have force,energy and strength combined. Endurance out the ass, if you want to talk about needing endurance watch an asian wushu demonstration
Well, since it's not an actual dojo, there aren't actually any ranks to judge myself on, but I'm getting to the point I can actually manage to land more hits than I used to. Which, to me, is an accomplishment. Mainly due to the fact that in high school, I was one of the kids they'd try to stuff in lockers, only they were too small. XD I kid, I kid. But seriously, though... I really couldn't fight worth a damn before this.

keep it up and you'll get real good
I can only hope so. Occasionally, he'll throw me off and start a match, then he'll switch to something far-out like Muay Thai or Capoeira or something... Which, needless to say, throws off my groove. And despite the fact I know I need to have a knowledge of being able to defend against multiple styles... I think he takes the whole attack pattern changing a bit far.

Sounds like your friend has an ego problem and likes the idea of changing it up too often for you to come to grips with what he's doing exactly.
Power triper.
Best advise i can give you is keep your gaurd up, don't stand still on the flats of your feet and attempt to control your space.
As far as im concerned im ready to start jujitsu so i can brach into MMA.
I already Study traditional GoJu Ryu and have proven myself good at that.
Pretty excited about the prospect of learning something entirely new.
And because it's also an Okinawa art it will tie in well with what iv'e already learned.
Also, speed up my learning curb.
I'll keep you guys updated as to where it goes.
