Inch by Inch

Updated: Sep 17, 2023

September 15, 2023 When training a martial art, it is important to keep on mind that you are involved with an “inch by inch” endeavor — that it takes time to do something well; and, more particular, it takes time to undo what time has done! You could be 15; you could be 50: but those are not just numbers, they are habits — and they do not change/adjust easily. You are what you are and, therefore, should remain patient with yourself as you train to make some changes as you groom yourself and your life through martial arts. Kung Fu is truly an “inch by inch” process; but, so very worth it!
