So, I was watching Freddie's video today where he was talking with two students about out of shape teachers or Masters. I couldn't agree more that one of the most important things a teacher does is lead by example. What kind of an example is it to quit practicing and working out because you are getting older!!?? To let yourself become fat or flabby. No, this isn't the right way. Kung Fu is a lifetime of practice and it should be part of your everyday life. Now, many people have very busy lives with work and wives and children so must fit in their workouts when they can, but a teacher should have all the time to workout and stay in great shape. Even as you age and cannot do all you could at 20 you still can do many things others never could do. In society we have accepted that we are going to get old and decrepit and out of shape as we age but that should not be. You can stay in gray shape if you have the will and desire. Look at Sigung. I have known a few people like him but I would like to see more. I intend to be one of these people. Anyway, my views on their youtube conversation. Connie

    Thank you for the post, yeah I agree with Kang, I think that as people who appreciate the martial arts, we should use them to improve ourselves, be healthy, and focus on the beauty of life, that we can discover more of it through the martial arts.

    IT'S A CONSTANT BATTLE OF PERSEVERENCE EMPLOYING ACTIVITY AND THE ONLY WAY TO GIVE BEING UNFIT THE UPPER HAND IS TO DO NOTHING OR THE MINIMAL.
    THE MINIMAL HERE MEANS WHAT EVER AMOUNT IT TAKES TO SLOW DOWN THE METABOLISM FURTHER UNTIL YOU LOOK FAT AND FLABBY.

    THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE SUMOS, SUPER HEAVY WEIGHT POWER LIFTERS WHO HAVE CONDITIONED THIER PHYSIOLOGY INTO THE PHYSICAL FORM DISPLAYED. THEY ARE A DIFFERENT KIND OF ANIMAL ARENA.MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS HAVE PROVED THEIR CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM TO BE AT A COVETED LEVEL.

    REMEMBER, A CHEETAH, OSTRICH, ROAD RUNNER WERE DESIGNED BIOLOGICALLY FOR THEIR SURVIVAL ACTIVITIES AS IS THE ELEPHANT, RHINO, THE TORTOISE,...LOOK AT THE ANIMALS EVERYWHERE!.........
    EVEN THOSE SYMBOL ANIMALS OF GUNG-FU.

    HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY ALL YOU TODAIS AND GREETINGS SIFU FREDDIE LEE!
