I love kungfu and want our students to love it as much as i do. I do not expect students to be gifted or talented in any means as the only thing i expect students to possess is the WANT to become great and skilled in kungfu.
Knowing that every student is different and wants different skills and has different goals, we teach three types of students in our school: the Dragon student (the student who wants to learn all round kungfu from combat to weapons, from meditation to energy healing). The second is the Tiger student (the student who wants to push their body and mind further and who is prepared to see how their body and mind handles pressure, this will include full on sparring with and without gloves, groundwork and the wide range of wushu work from jumping kicks in the air to handstands, rolling and somersaults). The third student is the Crane student (one who is looking for the balance in the dao, the method of taiji that will strengthen the mind and body to become a disciplined balanced person). When the student starts to love kungfu as much as i do then they may become a disciple of kungfu and take vows of abstinence (this is only for the VERY VERY DEDICATED, and this will be the student that wants all dragon, tiger and crane).
If i was incredibly wealthy i would visit China every other month, as the mindset of this great nation and their culture is peaceful, controlled and from this comes magnificent results (like our internal kungfu). One of the most amazing things i saw, is at a huge 12 lane intersection, with busses, cars and bicycles, in Beijing, and all the people you could ever want, the most amazing thing to me standing there at that single heart of movement is: how quiet everything is! You are in awe how calm and controlled everything is, even with the mad drivers and one million bicycles and motorbikes. Everything goes they way it is supposed to, quietly, happily, healthily. The parks are filled with people not concerned with what people think or with which martial art is best, but only with themselves being healthy and the very best martial artist they can be. This is what i want for my students, this Chinese culture has much to teach us.
So, if you are wanting to succeed, wanting balance and willing to experience a piece of old china, then our school is for you. If you are not concerned with how many routines you can learn, because more is NOT better, but with perfecting those that you do learn, then join us now. Perfection of form means better movement, and better movement means better combat and health, that is the bottom line.
