Developing Kung Fu Spirit.

"Back in 2002, I was personally going through many life changes. I had just lost my wife to cancer and wasn't sure of where I was headed. Both of my sons had taken kung fu from the academy and spoke very highly of it. I had studied martial arts (karate) many years ago when I was a young man and had enjoyed it. My younger son greatly encouraged me to try it out. I was out of shape and had a lot of doubts that I could do it, but I gave it a shot.

Sifu Evelina Lengyel and her staff at the Concord Kung Fu Academy were absolutely wonderful. Their approach to teaching kung fu combined just enough challenge with positive reinforcement to keep me going. I soon realized I could do it and it was helping me in my daily life. It gave me a much needed outlet and helped me improve my health

Today, I am happily remarried, feeling good about myself, and with a much improved attitude. I am now at the red sash level and have committed myself to becoming a black sash and then really beginning a new level.

It just goes to show, you're never to old (or young) to begin something new. Practice, commitment, fun, and encouragement all make it so worthwhile. Thank you Sifu."
