A lot of students might think they can only improve during classes. And yes, classes are important for getting corrections and learning new things. But the students who improve the fastest usually do something else: they practice at home.
As you advance in your Kung Fu journey, the time will come to adopt a leadership role within the academy. A great way to do this is through our decades-long tradition of students helping students, called the Leadership Team (LT).
The Instructors at the Academy will have ways to help teach the various techniques we do, often in a variety of ways to support different learning styles. Be curious and absorb the information, ask the questions, listen to the answers, and most importantly TRY.
Waterloo Kung Fu Academy now has a new version of the Student Handbook for sale in the office. If your child has been at the Academy for a few years, you might already have an older, still usable copy. However, if your child is newer to the school, it’s recommended that you get a copy.
“We tend to spend a lot of time worrying about things that might happen and in today’s stressful times it’s difficult to not worry. But it’s best to save your worrying for the things that you can control, which basically is yourself, your actions, and your reactions. Everything else may, or may not, happen whether you worry or not.”~ Sibok Lloyd
