    Martial Arts is not only a great way to learn self-defense or improve your physical health; it is also a great way to temper the mind. Throughout the ages, Monks, Warriors and Philosophers discovered that sport combat was a very effective method of developing awareness, focus, and clarity.

    Studies by modern scholars such as Malcolm Gladwell have revealed the importance of hands-on experience for developing elite levels of skill. Researchers such as V.J. Ramachandran have shown the intimate connection between brain and body health.

    The Kung Fu sparring league combines Traditional Martial Arts training with the natural developmental effects of sport combat and the modern insights of sports education in order to provide high quality training and exciting competitive experiences which will improve both well-being and skill.

    Pazman: cool. You're right in seeing the league as a curriculum.

    Not to mention that it's a great way to release naked aggression. We are animals and we need our outlets or it will harm us from the inside out.
