Kung Fu is an amalgamation of Tai Chi, Qi Gong, other Chinese "fighting arts". That is why there are so many "styles" and forms. Each branch just kept what they wanted and pruned the rest. Of all the virtues espoused in Kung Fu, Patience was the one that I thought was the most important. And most of the Sifu's that I have met are mild, quiet men but will push you to a point that you never thought possible. Eventually, you reach a point where you push yourself for your Sifu as well as yourself. I know that the last thing that I want to do is bring shame or embarrasment to my instructors. I train and spar to better myself and to show the talents of my instructors.
