OUR
PHILOSOPHY
for training adults...
Our purpose
here at Triangle Kung-Fu Amis Academy is not to put you through
rigorous disciplinarian / military training.. .we are not the military.
If that's what you are looking for, you must look elsewhere.
You
are adults and not children so you should be disciplined and have
grown up with morals and respect. Our goal is to give you the focus
and concentration to strengthen your own self-discipline and give
you the tools to develop the skill and the art behind the Martial
Arts. I tell most of my students, "The fact that you are here
shows me that you have some self-discipline" but sometimes
it helps to have someone motivate us and push us a little bit more,
myself included.
So we train
in a family style training atmosphere, where the teachers teach
the students; the students teach the newer students; the students
teach the teachers. We all teach and learn with and from each other.
Just as parents teach their children and older brothers and sisters
teach younger brothers and sisters, and the children teach their
parents. It is the circle of life and the circle of the family,
that we embrace in our classroom. I am not saying that it isn't
challenging or we don't work hard, or get sore, or push ourselves
to our limit. But we do so in an environment of teaching and learning.
(Sometimes the simplest lesson to us all that we must practice and
work harder to become better.)
Everyone
develops and learns at their individual pace, because we are not
robots, but rather human beings and people with different shapes,
sizes, and abilities. We work together in spite of these differences
to improve our selves. Remember Kung-fu Translates "Energy
and Time / Effort and Time/ Practice and Time"!
