it would vary depending on your body type and many other things, but ive seen a few excellent arts taught quickly and efficiently and most people can protect themself somewhat after 3-6 months.

1. muay thai
2. wing chun
3. boxing

martial= combat it isnt always about fighting but every good art teaches sparring . if you want point fighting or meditating under a waterfall to gain enlightenment you can always take tae kwon do or play checkers.

semen being a source of qi is strong in most chinese arts, and the idea that you are born with a reservoir of qi , but also can increase the amount thru training (qigong) is standard.

as for no sex while training, unless your going for kundalini or enlightenment, in qigong training most chinese dont even adhere to that theory anymore.

rickson gracie did for 2-3 weeks before a fight, most pro fighters both nhb and boxing dont bother. it doesnt seem to make a difference. depends on you.

bruce lee modified wing chun because he found it ineffective against larger americans, so following the chinese in everything they do will only lead to you getting your ass kicked. most of gung fu is flowery wushu b.s. now.
