Kung Fu is more than just the art of fighting. It is the art of living. It gives you all the tools with which to lay the foundations for success in your life.

It is hard work, but it is hard work that you do for yourself and nobody else - how many other pursuits can lay claim to that? My Master Dennis Ngo said once that in today's hectic life we loose a bit of ourselves every day, every hour. When you come to training you give yourself the time to gather up all those lost pieces and become you again. That is worth the effort.

I have done Fujian White Crane Kung Fu for the past 17 years and I would not trade those years in for anything. I have known pain and sweat and tears, but how can you know pleasure if you do not know pain, or pride in your success if you do not know tears?

Styles get passed down master to student for generations. They exist because of the pain, sweat and tears of those before you, so the greatest privilege you have is to learn what those generations have preserved and the greatest responsibility is to teach those who come after you.
