Kung Fu is about helping people with the biggest fight of all – mastering oneself. It helps restore one’s sense of purpose and identity, in an environment that provides structure and discipline. People dedicated to the practice of Kung Fu often see that the training learnings serve them in other parts of their life. It teaches them important values such as courage or respect, while also helping them to reach a calmer state of mind.
