Grading Essays and the Homemade Form: Why They Matter

Grading Essays and the Homemade Form: Why They Matter

Adult Student's Column, Fu-For-You Fall 2025, Grading

Forms and techniques usually end up as front of mind when it comes to grading requirements. There are, however, some additional requirements that I feel should be brought into the light and aired out for everyone to think about: essays and the infamous home-made form.

Adult Student's Column, Fu-For-You Summer 2025

Cross-training is a great way to improve your overall fitness and really allows you to target elements that may be missing from your Kung Fu training.

Average or Exceptional: It’s Relative

Adult Student's Column, Fu-For-You Spring 2025

Be honest with yourself; how do you feel you stack up? If you’re like me, you might place yourself somewhere around average, or even below average, and I will say I don’t find that to be a bad thing!

Managing Life and Kung Fu Commitments

Managing Life and Kung Fu Commitments

Adult Student's Column, Fu-For-You Winter 2025, Guest Column

We often talk about the sacrifices that have to be made when testing for a high rank at the Academy. Testing at an elite level requires a bare minimum of three classes each week, plus extra training hours outside of the Kwoon to build and maintain fitness.
