Why I teach Kungfu
When I tell people I teach Kungfu they think I mean I teach a kind of martial art. After all, Kungfu is what Bruce Lee did, it’s the stuff in Kungfu Panda, the action in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, right? It is a martial art, isn’t it? What if I told you the truth, that it’s all a big misunderstanding? What if I told you that Kungfu isn’t a martial art at all? Read more here: http://www.martialartsalbany.com/why-i-teach-kungfu/
Watch and Learn, Kungfu Documentaries!
Did you ever wish you could just sit back, relax and learn Kungfu from the comfort of your couch? Well, now you can! “But how much does it cost?” NOTHING! Thats right, you can learn more about Kungfu, for FREE from the comfort of your own home:) Read more here: http://www.martialartsalbany.com/807/
CMAA Monthly Challenge, August
Having addressed many areas from flexibility, exercise, meditation and diet, I’d like to focus this month’s challenge on an entirely separate area of martial arts development. While nothing is better than actually training at the Academy, these monthly challenges can help us develop outside of the school setting.

Best-
Shifu
