I’ve attempted to take Kung Fu once before, but didn’t have the greatest of experiences. I found it to be inaccessible and quite intimidating. However, Sifu Smith is a fantastic teacher, and while he doesn’t coddle you, he provides a great environment for learning and cultivating ones own practice. I’ve been a student now since December of ’14 and have had so many wonderful benefits result from Kung Fu, not the least of which have been mental discipline as well as greater physical flexibility and muscle strength.
