The Biggest Factor For Successs.

THE PROCESS of developing your Kung Fu skill is common and well known. Often called “Patient Investing”, the method will generate huge amounts of skill, but it takes time and grit.

When training, many people just want quick successes, but it has been proven time and again in scientific studies that choosing longer-term wins over short term goals—delaying gratification is one of the biggest keys to success.

To get the most from your Wing Chun training, it’s important to understand the process you will go through. Without this understanding, you will inevitably be disappointed and may even quit training with the belief that it’s impossible or too difficult.

There’s an analogy that’s very good for the process of learning Wing Chun.

Let’s consider, for discussion, how you might pan for gold. You do not expect to go out to the river and in one day strike it rich. Nor two days. Nor 10 or even 20.

You will have talked with the other guys at the river. “How long have you been at this?” you will ask. “Five Years”, they say. “Are you rich yet?”, you ask. “No, but I’m getting there, and each day I practise my technique gets better and my chance that I receive more than the day before.”

This is the process for growing your skill at Wing Chun, and Kung Fu in general.
