Before I started training with Fujian White Crane Kung Fu (FWC), I was lazy, unfit and directionless in terms of my personal life. While I had a good job, Head of IT, and had lots of work life goals, I had no personal goals. I mean that I had no plans to develop myself outside of my career. That changed after my first class with FWC. Suddenly a whole universe opened that had been blocked before. Instead of me having a dull career to look forward to as a way of improving myself, I now had an emotional, physical and spiritual journey opening in front of my eyes. As the classes progressed I realised how closed and actually lacking in ambition for myself I had been as I fought to control my body. I couldn't believe that I actually struggled to do some very simple movements despite having played sport all my life.
I quickly became hooked. The sense of achievement, not to mention feeling like your body was singing after class, was addictive. Finally, I knew what it was like to be alive. Alive for me as a person, not an employee or a spectator but real happiness from within through hard training and constant small improvements with every class. The fittest I had ever been, the strongest I had ever been, the most flexible I had even been. The most fulfilled I had ever been. The joy from class has entered all aspects of my life. The life skills and knowledge I've picked up are immeasurable.
Having trained hard and recognised what FWC had to offer the world, I decided that I wanted to bring the style and teaching to Ireland where I now live. I quit my job in London and headed home (I'm Irish!). This was to make sure that Ireland could experience what I had felt and to make sure that I was doing my part in perpetuating an amazing system which allows people to discover true joy and self-fulfillment and to show them that they can achieve anything that they set their minds to. Have you encountered a life program for achieving all of your personal goals, I have?
If you can become good at Fujian White Crane Kung Fu then you can do anything that you set your mind to and have fun while you do it!
So for any of you reading this and thinking of training: be prepared to be stimulated on a physical, mental and emotional level. And be prepared to have fun and enjoy getting fit, and learn something that will help you in very facet of your life.
