When we hear the term Kung Fu, we think of martial arts. Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li with fists and feet flying. Did you know Kung Fu isn't limited to martial arts? The definition of Kung Fu means great effort of time and energy. That means any learning or practice that requires patience, energy, and time to complete.
We practice Kung Fu when we put our whole heart and soul, body and mind into our art, craft, profession, or our daily lives. Done with pride. Lofty or mundane. Done with discipline until things become second nature aspiring to perfection. Always learning. Always reaching.
Do you practice Kung Fu?
Every day! (using your definition.) :)

ReplyDeleteI think I must live Kung Fu. :) Hope the whole family gets to stay home and out of the weather tomorrow. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Erica. Yup, everyone will be home. Himself is on Spring Break, though the Governor has given the day off to (non-essential) state employees. Himself teaches in the state college system. The Eldest has Tuesdays off from her job. The Young One was told to work from home. The Governor also suggested people stay off the roads, but has not declared a state of emergency.
DeleteI'm assuming you will have a snow day tomorrow. Hope you and your family will be warm and safe.
It is not *my* definition. Kung Fu translates from Chinese as great effort of time and energy.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this! Very interesting! Yes, I do practise Kung Fu!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that cool to know?
