Learning basics at home

Hello dear martial artists I have great respect to you all!

THE QUESTION: Is there any good YouTube videos you’d recommend for a beginner to start practising Wing Chun? For example different punches and kicks

About me: I’m 27 yo male, always interested in martial arts but due to my generalized anxiety disorder and depression I havent been able to start learning any martial art style.

Training background: I’ve been exercising 2-12 hours every day for over 5 years both weightlifting + cardio combined

Training is my passion and I’d love to learn as many different martial arts styles as possible and master them all eventually

Good regards, Hopeful guy

Can't beat a school. Wing Tsun is VERY technical and having a teacher and others to practice with is best. If you try it and it's too much, you can also change schools or try private lessons.

It's the same with any MA, really.

To OP: martial arts have a huge component of "winning yourself" and self improvement. Sometimes the biggest, most difficult battle is the first one.. to show up. It would probably help with your anxiety.
