A free mini-guide about how to train safely following our home study courses

The first concept that a martial arts practitioner must understand is that self-preservation always comes first, as in combat as in training:

As it is not intelligent to start a fight without considering the ratio between benefits and risks
It is equally insane to start to train without the necessary safety premises and knowledge

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

It is important to accept that avoiding the most common conditions that expose us to the biggest risks means do not slow down and even blocking our martial growth (due to injuries, incorrect body development, etc.).

This mini-guide was born with the idea to help to:

Avoid the most common mistakes (especially the irreversible ones)
Cure our safety and the ones that are near us (training partners, etc.)
Start a serious martial path with 6 Dragons Kung Fu
Always train at the best of our possibilities

A note by Master Kongling – Following the right indications it is rare to suffer injuries during training and even while performing sparring the chances are not more than in any other contact sport.
