Kung Fu (the above characters, Left) translate to “skill through hard work” and there is no exception here at Club Kung Fu. The secret to great success is practice and repetition. Therefore, presented are things to consider before coming to Club Kung Fu:
If you are looking for a place where everyone is a winner – Club Kung Fu is not for you.
If you are looking for trophies and tournaments – Club Kung Fu is not for you.
If you are looking to be an MMA fighter – Club Kung Fu is not for you.
If you are looking for achievement without hard work – Club Kung Fu is not for you.
If you are looking for a “belt factory” – Club Kung Fu is not for you.
If you are looking to live through your son or daughter – Club Kung Fu is not for you.
If you want to have a white uniform and a black belt – Club Kung Fu is not for you.
If you want any or all of the above, there are plenty of martial art schools in the area that can provide those services. Call us for recommendations.
However.
If you want to understand failure so you can better appreciate success, if you want a practical fighting system, if you want to develop good work and training habits, if you understand that responsibility of success lies within oneself, if you want to reach your true potential, if you want to wear a very cool uniform, then Club Kung Fu is right for you, and we welcome you with open arms.
