Kung Fu Creed

Level 1 - Creed

I will develop myself in a positive manner, to be gracious, humble and always show respect for others. I will train diligently, to develop self-discipline, in order to bring out the best in myself and others. I will use the skills I learn in this class only to defend myself or others, and never use my skills abusively. This is a Black Belt school. We are dedicated. We are motivated. We are on a quest to be the best.

Level 2 - Hands

Fists like shooting stars. Movements are distinct and well-defined.

Level 3 - Eyes

Although the eyes may be looking at a specific object or direction, the mind must be aware of the four sides, the mind's eye must cover all areas.

Level 4 - Body

Waist like a bending snake, flexibility and agility are required for proficiency in the art of kung fu. The waist plays an important role in the execution of all movements.

Level 5 - Footwork

Learning to use the fist is easy, learning to use the foot is difficult. If the foot is not fast, the fist is slow, if the footwork is not stable, the fist is cluttered.

Level 6 - Spirit

The spirit is full of vitality and energy. A full concentration of the martial spirit is necessary if the movements are to be effective.

Level 7 - Breath

The breath must sink in. Breath is of the utmost importance if progress is to be expected.
