[email protected] / www.iron-dragon.ca COMMENTARY As we move into summer, I am always disturbed by the inevitable drop in attendance at the Kwoon. Kung Fu is more than a seasonal sport like Hockey and Skiing. Kung Fu is a holistic lifestyle not a sport! Sure there are sporting aspects to it such as Competitive Kickboxing and Grappling but there are underlying principles that inevitably spill over into other aspects of our life that make this a valuable activity all year round! Training in Kung Fu is a cumulative endeavor. Each skill once learned, becomes the foundation for the next skill to be developed. This is an activity where a continuity of effort will provide superior results! Take the time to evaluate your own training experience and you will see that your best training results are achieved with a steady, workmanlike effort. Don’t stop for the summer only to start all over again in the fall. Train consistently all year round and achieve consistent results all year round!

We strive to give them what we, ourselves never had. We do our best to ensure that our children want for nothing. Unfortunately, one thing that we cannot purchase and give to our kids is a work ethic.
