A heartfelt thank you to my instructors, both those leaving us and those joining our ranks.
Practice the Old, While Learning the New
The longer you have known a technique, form, or sequence, the higher our expectations are that you can execute it proficiently. So, always remember that learning the new goes hand-in-hand with improving the old.
Our Five WKFA Animals
In our style of Shaolin Kung Fu, we specialize in styles associated with our five animals; let’s explore them!
Looking on the Bright Side
It is easy to get discouraged and negative when things are out of our control, but we can also look at the opportunities that each situation brings.
Winter Warm-up
Colder temperatures impact your flexibility; before shovelling snow, or practicing Kung Fu class, take the time to warm up!
With Gratitude
Thank you, parents, for your dedication and perseverance in 2020!
