Push-Up Challenge Motivation
The adversity of winter is also an invitation to discover who you are and what you can rise from and, dare I say, thrive in!
Knowledge, Wisdom, and Rank
The colour of your sash does not necessarily corelate to retained knowledge, wisdom, skill, or anything else commonly attributed to a higher rank.
Origins of Shaolin Kung Fu
Every class we start off with our three bows, the first one being to show our respect to our ancestors. But have you ever wondered who these ancestors really were? And how did Kung Fu begin in the first place?
Embracing Change
Change can be exciting, but it can also be a little scary. Progressing in Kung Fu requires stepping out of our comfort zones and facing new challenges.
Average or Exceptional: It’s Relative
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!
Tournament Season
If your child is new to competitions, the Spring Invitational Tournament is a great place to start. Your child would compete against students of similar rank and will know many of them as they are in the same class.
A Lie Discovered
“A single lie discovered is enough to create doubt in every truth expressed.”
~ generally attributed to Bram Stoker
