The practice of Kung Fu contains a great number of benefits not solely limited to the development of martial skill. We can discuss these in terms of both external benefits, which are physical in nature, and internal benefits, which are related to mind and spirit. External benefits * Greater physical fitness, stamina and vitality * Increased flexibility and coordination * Improved posture and balance * Circulation improved * Organs stimulated into healthier function * Effects of breathing maximized Internal benefits * Mental focus and clarity increase * Willpower strengthened * Patience, self-discipline, calmness and confidence all improved * Connection between mind, body and spirit heightened * Greater sensitivity and deeper awareness of the body and its surroundings developed Regardless of whether one ever needs to use the self-defense skills learned with Kung Fu, their development leads to a greater sense of physical awareness applicable in daily life. Accidents are often avoided with better coordination, balance and a relaxed response. Greater vitality and mental focus also have significant effects on one's daily routine, easing even the most trying of day-to-day tasks. |
