I really dont know if i want to start in university, or study wing chun for 4 years and be a "Master" Very Happy in martial arts and have my own students...I thought of doing the martial art thing first and then continue to study at the uni...a friend of mine offered me to study in his school for free+he pays me money because i will not have the time to work. Its like 5hours a day 5times a week.

If this is something you have to think about then you probably shouldn't be going to university. Unless you're majoring in something like Media Studies, even a common chav could pass that.

Why not both?

If you're serious about starting a martial art, don't take up something like wing chung. It's great fun and all if you manage not to start training at a McDojo, but not something that'd be effective against your average street fighter.

Also, you won't become a master in 4 years. In most martial arts, you won't even be a black belt in 4 years. And a black belt is merely a student who has grasped the scope of the art and is capable of independently teaching himself.

You can call yourself a decent instructor after, say, 8-10 years of hard training and some assisting teaching. And only if you're passionate about it. And even then it's hard to actually make a living with it - most instructors just do it as a side-thing.

If you really want to take up a martial art, try Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do, or Kyokushin Karate. Perhaps WTF Taekwondo, but that also isn't a very street-effective style, although it does look absolutely awesome.

- Novice Black belt (or comparable, as in the case of Krav Maga) in two different martial arts, practictioner of more.

While I'd normally agree with AnimalMother, I personally feel that if you truly want to dedicate your life toward becoming a martial arts master, you should do it. You might not end up living the most luxurious of lives. Hell, you might even end up as a hobo, but at least you'll be a kickass hobo.

If you do decide on the Martial arts path, try not to become like all dickheads who teach any form of unarmed combat.. ie: stuck up your own arse and so full of yourself.. i dont know why they are like this, and ofc i'm only going by the guys ive known who do it..

I think its possibly a power thing..

Media Studies is a bit of a cop out.

I say travel if you are unsure of your future path in life. I think traveling is one of the best ways to get to know yourself plus I think it opens up your mind to future possibilities.
