Wing Tsun is first and foremost a fighting art. But as with any discipline that is undertaken, it spills over into other areas of your life. WT teaches proper posture, balance, proper body mechanics, functional flexibility and strength. It helps you to achieve mental focus and relaxation in the face of adversity.
Even health is enhanced by learning proper breathing.
WT is a system of kung fu, kung fu meaning spending time and effort to master a skill, or simply stated, hard work. Proper kung fu training of any type, not just WT, is a process of breaking down the old you and building a better you in its place. As you perfect your martial skills, seeking more and more perfection in its technique, this carries over into other areas of your life. You begin to seek this perfection elsewhere. You strive to be a better employee, a better spouse, a better parent.
That rude waiter, or the meathead who cut you off in traffic is no longer such a big deal,
because you develop an inner peace. By inner peace, I'm not referring to some sort of mystical mumbo jumbo, simply the calmness that comes from knowing whatever happens, you've got this.
Perfection of course , is never achieved, but we keep plugging away.
“Its not the Destination, It's the journey.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson,
