In China, there are many styles of Kung Fu, each unique to specific regions and cultures. These styles are often shaped by local traditions and physical characteristics. The foundation of each Kung Fu style is based on the creator’s personal traits, including their unique physical capabilities and character. Not every style will be suitable for you. It is crucial to avoid starting your training blindly.
Remember, "Well begun is half done!"
People vary greatly in preferences and physical abilities, so we offer a wide range of customized courses and training options to meet individual needs. Master Li personally conducts an interview to understand your training requirements, creating a program tailored to your needs. He strives to find the best teaching approach for every student. You are always encouraged to discuss your training goals with the instructor, allowing for adjustments based on your interests, such as specific forms, styles, or weapons. This personalized attention will help you achieve your highest potential in the shortest time.
Whatever your goal, and regardless of the time or energy you invest, always remember this phrase: training is a waste of time if it does not improve your real life. The purpose of studying Kung Fu is to apply it in everyday life. If the techniques you learn do not help you defend yourself, improve your health, develop your spiritual well-being, or enhance your social presence, then you need to adjust your training. Kung Fu should have a meaningful impact on your life.
Mastering Kung Fu is a lifelong endeavor, but we do not waste time on countless styles or training methods. The key is to make the right choice and focus your time and energy on what you are truly passionate about. Master Li opposes those who try to take on too much at once.
Gongli, which includes strength, body hardness, and speed, is the foundation of Kung Fu. Without it, all techniques are merely movements, often dismissed as "flower fists." The Kung Fu Family has developed its own Gongli training system using traditional equipment to help you quickly build a solid foundation for further learning. As the saying goes, "Neglect Gongli in your training, and you will gain nothing!"
Training has no shortcuts—correcting wrong ideas is the only shortcut.
