DINGYI KUNGFU
WHAT IS KUNGFU?
Kungfu is your body. Kungfu is your mind. Kungfu is philosophy. Kungfu is culture. Kungfu is nature. Kungfu is life.
Kungfu is more than a form of martial arts. Kungfu is a way of living your life. Through kungfu, you learn to understand your body and its needs: you become aware of your body with its muscles, joints, bones and tendons. Your body, heart, brain and mind are interconnected, so you must learn how to use them all. Kungfu teaches you this, and thus teaches you how to keep your balance in life. It starts from paying attention to your body during exercise and transfers to your mind, discipline, willpower and attitude.
As a result, everything that you learn in kungfu serves as a guideline for how to live your life healthily.

Mingjian (Traditional)
Mingjian kungfu has many types, but what unifies them is that they were passed down through generations: each father taught his son (and nobody else), and thus the kungfu was preserved.
