In Kung Fu and T’ai Chi we have found that the training you commit to in martial arts causes some incredible things to happen. You start to realize just how tough you are, inside and out. Your increase in strength, speed, balance, agility and mental focus begin to make you more confident, more daring, more willing to go after the things in life that you really want! The act of taking rank advancement tests, a physical test that most people do not have to experience ever, in front of an instructor or panel of black belts, while frightening, results in someone who says to themselves, “I did that, I can definitely do that other thing I was afraid to try (like applying for a promotion or new job, leaving a bad relationship, or embracing a new one).

Martial Arts do burn a LOT of calories. And you do become a great fighter in kung fu. And few people know this, but T’ai Chi is a martial art too and those who study it are some of the best fighters of all! But you probably won’t need fighting skills too often in your life, so why else then would this Chinese martial art have been around for so very long? Because it goes far deeper than fighting. And if you are looking for something in your life that will motivate you, challenge you and help you reach your highest potential, you might want to consider what the many Austin martial artists have discovered at Shaolin-Do, to quote JFK’s speech regarding our early goals of space travel, We do these things “not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.”
