Kung Fu literally translated means skill gained through daily practice. Anything that is developed through daily practice can be considered Kung Fu, including jiu jitsu or strength training.
Practice indicates a development of skill in the direction of mastery. If you regularly practice the martial arts, then it can be said that you have a martial art practice.
Martial arts have been practiced for thousands of years. Disciplined masters adhere strictly to a routine of physical training. The result is both a mind and body that remain flexible, strong and resilient.
When I was younger, I practiced martial arts because I had a lot of energy and fight in me. Now I practice the arts because it supports me and strengthens me.
If it’s a training day, I train. It may be jujitsu practice or it may just be strength training, but I train. On the recovery days I recover. I use the mobility exercises and stretching of Tacfit for active recovery. Then I’m ready to train again on training day.
As this new year dawns, I encourage you all to make your Kung Fu strong. Make your martial art practice and your strength training practice a pillar of stability in your life. You will find that this pillar supports and protects you. It will build you up and make you stronger than ever.
I wish everybody an amazing 2025.
I look forward to watching everybody’s progress in the coming year.
