Sweat alittle

Our health is fundamental to everything we do. That is something we are reminded of when we get sick, really sick, and the basics become a challenge.

Same concept could be applied to our kung fu.

Staying fit, in shape, is fundamental to our marital arts. Bruce Lee was a very outspoken advocate of exercise to enhance his martial arts.
Exercise to increase muscle strength, increase cardio vascular ability and maintaining flexibility. This is the building blocks or the foundation to a skilled martial artist.
Bruce Lee preached it and lived it.

I agree, and we sometimes ignore that aspect. Actually, I don't think we mean to ignore "staying in shape" but the challenge becomes making the time. We are busy learning skills and practicing them but forget to pay attention to the foundation that makes us better at it.

I have  reminded myself that I need to make the time. I would like to be in as good of shape as I was in my twenties. And why not? its not impossible it just means I have to work harder and smarter at it in my older years.

San shou and Martial arts fitness class are two classes that offer just what I need. A little creativity with my forms and applications can muster up a sweat as well. Not to mention, just get out, and run.
It doesn't take an expensive gym membership, it just means, look for opportunities to sweat!
