Keeping a Training Schedule
As junior students, you have two assigned classes every week for training Kung Fu. These classes are essential to your progression as a martial arts student, so it’s important to prioritize them and keep a consistent training schedule. Let’s go over a few tips on how to do this.

Rainy Days
