The students will be introduced to the basic training practices that make up the initial part of each class known as the ?drills which not only develops strength but imparts the theory that makes the system work. Through diligent practice and reflection the student will discover a sense of balance and harmony while developing a healthy mind, body, and spirit. Successful completion of the course will result in a solid basis of understanding of what it is like to practice Hung Gar Kung Fu with the ability to carry this experience into an active Kung Fu school.
