Why passion is nothing
https://youtu.be/EpTs5pUSSCY
The difference:
Passion - It is strictly tied to the idea of interest / curiosity, it is a secondary necessity that can disappear, decrease or increase as a function of factors beyond our control (the quality of the instructors, etc.)
Self-discipline - Seen from outside it is a motion similar to a chronic addiction, it is more similar to a primary necessity of our body and mind (like drinking, eating, etc.)

What is standing stamina?

The greeting in Kung Fu
The first thing to say is that in most of the martial arts the greeting is a form of respect demonstration:

The fundamental concepts of the basic fighting stance
In combat (as we said a lot of times, read Which guard stance choose and The guard stances in 6DKF), it does not exist a perfect guard stance for every type of:
Scenario
Opponent
Weapon involved
Preparation level
Tactic
...
Having clarified this (given that many students have asked us for a basic starting point), in this brief tutorial we want to share a "generic" guard stance that can be easily adapted to the various contexts.

The third fundamental technical exercise
The Poles training is another practice inspired by the ancient Shaolin methods (again the 72 arts of Shaolin temple): we have introduced it in Lesson 2.3 and now we will deepen the topic.
The core idea of this exercise is to hit one or more immovable (or semi- immovable) rigid (or semi-rigid) surfaces (1 or more poles, trees, a wooden dummy, etc.).
As we said in Lesson 3.6, the benefits are endless and all related to the development of real martial ski...

Ip Man: one of the best movies on the spirit of Chinese martial arts
There are many things that in the past and in the present days contradict the pure spirit of Chinese Kung Fu described in "Ip Man" (2008) but the ideal lessons we can draw from this film remain valid and worthy of being shared.
In any case, in this discussion:
We will not deepen the more or less shareable aspects related to Chinese or Japanese patriotismWe will not even go into the merits of the historical precision of the f...
