or....
you can go without the titles, and just study, study, history, culture, philosophy, art...all these things have influenced the development of Martial arts over the ages, and each area is sooo broad too. I in all my studies, specialize in Japanese ways. Even though philosophically and artistically they "imported" a LOT from china. But that is the route I went, Japanese culture and Language in College. Plus read a lot of Draeger, the Kojiki, D.T. Suziki, Robert Smith, The Skosses, and be prepared to find out a lot of things that might shatter popular views and often mistranslations. Bottom line, it is nearly impossible to learn everything you want to know, so develop an idea of where you want to go with your studies. And follow that angle and see where it takes you.
