LEE'S CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS FEDERATION
Weekly Class Preparation
1st Week of the Month
During the soft sparring week, the main focus is to slow down the body motion and making all contact very soft. This will allow the mind to calm itself. Slowing down your movements and calming the mind sets the foundation for instinctive fighting. (Instinctive fighting is when your skills are like a sixth sense--no planned movements nor power and speed are necessary. Attacks are based on the opponent's mistakes). This skill will give you the power to control the opponent's body without having to deliver a crushing blow. Anyone can hurt and be hurt. The real test of skill is when you can keep from being hit in addition to not hurting your opponent. This skill comes from being a morally solid person, spiritually grounded and using Kung-Fu in all parts of your lifestyle, which includes the way you eat, the way you hang your clothes up in your closet to the way you communicate and treat people day to day. Once you have balanced your life with the above, your mind will start becoming very clear (about the direction your life is taking) and peaceful.
Christmas/Holiday Blessings--We are taking contributions for Pam and Jenny to help in their time of need--Please bring any food items/clothes, gifts or financial contributions to Von. We will collect throughout January. It is a blessing to be a blessing!
