Read the sign!

At the conclusion of each class, students at the Doc-Fai Wong Martial Arts Center call out the words posted on a sign hanging above the class. The sign is nothing special and has no hidden meaning to it, in fact the sign itself is very simple. Yet the sign that has hung above the heads of students, disciples, and even masters for nearly three decades really preaches the essence, the true meaning of the martial arts.

"Practice makes perfect, we need more practice and patience."

Nothing is more simple yet truthful, our journey in the martial arts is self dependent, you get what you give (of course it makes it even easier with a good instructor, curriculum and equipment). The more you practice, the more you will progress, and to give depth to that, the more you practice seriously, the faster and more you will progress.

I am not suggesting to drop everything and practice 5 hours a day... well actually I am hinting at allocating a good 5 hours to your training regimen :) but really, any time spent in serious practice, whether an hour or a minute, will benefit you immensely.

go practice.
