Why Mindful Kung Fu?
At Mindful Kung Fu we focus on the three aspects of training. We strengthen the body, quiet the mind, and lead from the spirit.
1. We train the body
This includes learning techniques and doing drills that strengthen the legs, torso, core and build cardio. Self discipline, diligence and consistency are key to a healthy body. You learn to align the spine, relax the muscles and lead from your center. This allows the maximum power with the least amount of exertion.
2. We quiet the mind
We achieve this by letting go of any tension and excess ego. By learning to focus and find clarity in your training, you start to let go of the tension and doubt that holds us hostage. This allows the mind and body to come together to work as one. The more clear the mind, the more you’ll see. The quieter the mind, the more you’ll hear.
3. Lead from Spirit
When the mind and body start working together power becomes something that you get out of your training, not something you put into it. You build what we call “The dragon body.” Energy starts at your feet, is controlled by the waist and manifested by the hands. When you achieve this, it creates true fa jing (release of power.)
Whether you want to learn self-defense, improve your fitness, or find a new way to relax and focus, Mindful Kung Fu is here to guide you every step of the way.
