Sifu
Jean feels that
Kung-Fu means hard work and so hard work is what
you must put into it. If you only give 10 percent, then that is all you
can expect back. If you want more from it, you must give more to it.
It's all up to you. According to Sifu Mieir-King, "Sifu Jean is an excellent assistant and when I leave the class to her I know that the class and students are in good hands and that they will receive a top notch workout and class!" |
