Relieves Stress
Kung Fu is a great way of getting rid of stress and helping to clear the mind. This comes partly from the release of endorphins your get from exercise, partly from the fact the kung fu requires you to focus on the here and now and partly because when you train at East Midlands Kung Fu you become part of a community of people all looking to support and encourage each other.
Kung Fu helps you find your inner self
Sometimes someone saying that you need to find your inner self can be a bit of a cliché, but when it comes to Kung Fu it is certainly true.
As you start to learn more about Kung Fu it becomes evident that it is much more than just punching and kicking things, as the principles and applications you learn help you to study yourself.
This understanding becomes part of who you are and people that try the discipline soon realise that they are now part of a tradition that has been passed through generations.
