The true meaning of martial arts [MINI-GUIDE]

A quick way to learn what is the meaning of martial arts: a mini-guide

For most of us, the reason that made us decide to start a martial arts path are:

  • To learn self-defense
  • To improve our health

Note – This article has been asked by one of our Core Course practitioners on Patreon (see how to attend our home study classes hereĀ Learn Kung Fu online: a beginner-to-expert course).

But there is much more, a real “hidden treasure”:

  • It is not a sport
  • It is not a hobby or a passion
  • It is not something limited to the moment of training
  • It is not only learning to fight
  • “It is not a game, not a religion”
  • It is not a course with a defined end

A note by Master Kongling – Most of the benefits that a life devoted to martial practice can give are absolutely far from the knowledge of a novice and this is exactly the reason why we created this mini-guide: to let those who are interested in this world have a deeper understanding.
