Quote of the month:

"To become different from what we are, we must have some awareness of what we are."

 

- Bruce Lee

 

In order to make a difference in our lives, we must first know and accept what we are at this very moment. If we know what we are capable of, as well as accept our current limitations, we can be able to pursue our goals and improvements with vigor and clear focus.

However, there needs to be a minimum of 6 people before the class can be added to the schedule. Possible class days might be: Mondays from 6 to 7:30, or every other Saturday from12:30 to 2:00 pm. Contact Sifu if you're interested, and let her know which day you might prefer.
