Warfox Bagua 錦園八卦掌

They won't be beginners forever.

When I was young I didn't train to this song, but sometimes it got me pumped up enough to go out and train. This is just basic practice using the Stealth Tiger Sword, Six Harmony Sword, Crescent Moon Swords and a little bit of Qing Ping Sword.

There are many battles that lie in the road for us whether or not we are martial artists. Anger, Fear and Grief are dangerous foes that lurk in the shadows when no one else is around. The negative feelings that continually remind us to doubt our worth and empower the lusts of our flesh. Our pure soul is bound by our flesh containers that desire the things of this world. The real fight takes place in your ability to continually do the right thing. It's easy to hurt someone that you don't know. It's immensely more difficult to not hurt the ones that you do...
