| back, I trained a martial art called Wing Chun. It is | | | | prayers, visualizations, and all that stuff. And that is |
| concept based instead of traditional martial arts, which | | | | great to keep you motivated and everything, but it |
| are usually technique based. For hand to hand combat, | | | | definitely not a direct way of accomplishing your goals. |
| it has only three basic forms. Each movement can be | | | | And if you make that the bulk of your daily activities, |
