On Saturday something really special happened…… 

After 4 years, "O" earned his junior black belt in Traditional Shaolin Kung Fu. Twice a week we've gone to practice the age old tradition. 

Unlike "Tournament" marshal arts, Shaolin Kung-Fu is an ancient Tradition which holds a sacred trust of ancient instruction between a student and their teacher. Encompassing the whole person, body, mind, and spirit, Shaolin Kung Fu is a way of life. There are animal forms to learn, sparring technique, Tai-chi, meditation, and wholistic living via organics. When an individual is in balance they serve their community by creating balance.

Sifu Daniel has a wonderful Tradition Shaolin Kung Fu studio in Knoxville Tennessee which welcomes children as young as 4 years old through adult age. 

A Huge Thank-you to Sifu Daniel and the wonderful encouragement and instruction you've given "O" over the last 4 years.
