Kung fu training starts with showing up, ready to learn.

Studying martial arts helps us learn to live peacefully together.

The first form is called siu nim tao, which means “a little idea.” This is the set of movements which forms our foundation.

We learn how to use our hands…

…and how to use our feet.

Our teacher, called a Sifu, shows us how the details work.

Keep practicing!

Taking breaks is important, too.

We get certificates to show how much we’re learning!

Here’s one of those certificates, now.

We’re happy to see our progress.

One semester down! Plenty more to go…
