I stopped training Kung fu here in São Paulo about 3 years ago. I practiced for about 10 months and, without any doubts, that was the healthiest time of my life.
I really enjoyed doing all the katas. And the exercising was just great!
But I fear that it isn’t for me. As soon as the sifu decided that we were ready to start fighting practices something snapped in my head: “hey, wait a second… I never wanted to learn how to beat someone! I just wanted the exercise!”.
A week or so later I left the classes.
But I really miss the Katas and the exercise.
Does anyone know about a strictly-katas style of kung fu? Anyone? I thought so… :)
