Martial Arts are MARTIAL
WU Kung is about WU

When people say it's "about health" it is usually a code word for significantly altered if not down right made up stuff
Thank you for that. A perfect illustration of my point.



Instead of saying "if you just want health, don't study kung fu" we can say, "yes! Of course, kung fu will make you very healthy! And you can learn to protect yourself too. My gym is a great choice for you."
