Classical kung fu/wushu:
Kung fu's power and beauty is demonstrated in its kicks and leaps, the legs provide the most extended boundary, as well as our grounding and movement; demanding flexibility. The movement is smooth and swift within our physical capacities as well as our energetic and mental flexibility to adapt to circumstances. Health is simply this capacity to be able to adjust to our experiences.
