I began studying with Sifu Ferreira in 1995 and was a dedicated student for almost 10 years. Due to life getting in the way, I had to stop going. I miss it terribly. I'm writing this review because I want to let everyone know that though self defense and exercise was my goal, I got so much more. Even though I haven't studied for almost five years (wow), I use Kung Fu every day of my life. My body just remembers. I ride horses now and have had 3 horses fall. Each time I have been able to do ground defense (I hated it while I was in class). One time my horse actually went to his knees and face planted. I just dove over the top of his head and did a sommersault. I was 48 years old. All the people in the arena couldn't believe their eyes. I was unscathed. GO KUNG FU. Oh. P.S. if you are looking for a sash being handed to you for just showing up, go somewhere else. No sissies allowed. It took me 9 years to get three stripes on a blue sash. I earned every one of those sashes and stripes. Someday, I will return to get my purple sash.
Pros: It creates discipline
Cons: You need to take the time that it takes.
