Why do we compete in tournament?
The benefits of tournament competition are so great. We compete to learn something about ourselves. We compete to see how well we can perform under pressure. We compete to see how we handle adversity and challenges. Challenging means it pushes you out of your comfort zone and gets you using your physical, mental and emotional muscles in ways you haven’t used before. It teaches us important life skills; how to work hard for goals and how to fight through adversity. It teaches lessons on dealing with the inherent unfairness of life, and how to work together with others for a bigger cause.
My son has been with Shifu Long for 6 years. Shifu Long is an excellent kungfu master and coach in tri-valley. His devotion to kungfu and to teaching kungfu is outstanding! My son has made dramatic progress and won many medals in years bay area kungfu tournaments. He loves to come to Shifu Long’s classes and felt so much learned and so much fun in the classes with his classmates.
