Chum Kiu Season

This Holiday Season is, also, Chum Kiu Season.  For some reason every holiday season I feel like working on Chum Kiu.  Maybe it is the colder weather making me want to sweat more, maybe it is the vast amount of food that makes me want to be more active.  Or maybe, there is a season for every form, maybe certain techniques work better during certain time frames...

Regardless, it feels good to do Chum Kiu during the holiday season.  There is a lot to be said for listening to your body or listening to your gut.  To do so you have to become more aware, to become more aware you have to relax more.  Relaxing is one of the 3 Principles of Ving Tsun (Wing Chun).  It is one of the most important aspects of kung fu, also one of the most fun to enjoy and work on.  It's harder than you think, but it's still easy.  Just relax.  

Enjoy your Holiday Season, get lots of rest & relaxation, and if you know Chum Kiu, play it a lot.  If you don't, then come in to Kung Fu of Louisville and learn it.  Happy Holidays!
