The Tradition in Chinese Kung Fu

That way everyone who wants to learn Kung Fu is first of all carefully examined of his personality and responsibility, before being introduced to the secrets of this martial art. The physical development should go along with the mental development in order to make the student a better human being, who can use his knowledge and abilities in a responsible manner.
Another difference to other sports and martial arts is the family structure in the traditional Kung Fu. This is a rudiment from times, when Kung Fu was really only inherited from father to son. If an outsider wanted to learn Kung Fu from a strange master, he was adopted into the family with the obligation to preserve the family art. According to this tradition nowadays novices are included into the Kung Fu family as the youngest brother / sister of the family. For all students who start training after him / her, he / she is the older brother / sister.
