Let’s use the idea of Wing Chun’s Siu Nim Tao to make simple small steps to grow, not just in the Art but also how we share time with others and how we look within ourselves. ![]()

As this is just a short extract from a far longer discussion, it is open to misinterpretation. You may well take the topic and comments out of context.
