Martial Morality
What does "Kung Fu' really mean.
The Chinese words "kung fu" literally translate to "energy time". In essence anything that takes a lot of time and work could be called kung fu. Playing a sport, learning an instrument and writing well are all examples of kung fu.
Within the context of our studio, kung fu refers to any style of martial art that was developed in China. Kung fu is more than just blocks, kick and punches. It is the time and energy spent learning something and the self improvement that comes of the process.
