- What
is Kung Fu?..
-
- Kung
Fu can be translated several ways but they all roughly mean “skill
and hard work”, but the words Kung Fu can be applied to any
activity that needs a lot of effort
to attain a high degree of skill. When referring to the Martial
Arts Kung Fu is the broad name given to all Chinese Martial Arts.
- Why do
Kung Fu?..
-
- One
of the
main purposes of Kung fu is obviously self-defence
which, in the days that we live in, is sometimes unfortunately
necessary, but the skill itself and the benefits go far beyond defence.
Kung Fu can attain better strength, fitness
and improved flexibility, but possibly the most important benefit is
confidence in your self. Children can have all the same benefits
that adults have, but also activities that use the whole body help
increase learning skills and will help children to set and achieve
goals ... the most important reason for doing Kung Fu is
simple:
... because you want
to ...
Remember Kung Fu, like
everything worthwhile in life, is not about the final destination it is
not a race, it is about appreciating the journey for what it is and revelling
in the experiencing of learning and improving.
Every journey starts with
but a single step.
