Sifu and lineage

“Practicing enables to accede to knowledge. This knowledge is obtained only trough the body’s understanding and consciousness. It is forged trough training, repetition and sweat.

When I was a child, I was told that we didn’t have the same training conditions here, that we had to go to China.
