No one signs a contract with life guaranteeing you live well into old age.
Especially if you treat your body like a trash can.
No matter how much money or friends you have, in the end you have to be happy with who you are.
Your best friend is Yourself.
Your body is your Temple.
Time should be spent everyday working on improving some area about yourself.
The food you eat.
The physical training you have to implement into your daily routine.
The books you read.
Acting on the goals you've set.
Enjoying time alone.
Cutting addictions.
Everything you do should be about extending your life not shortening it.
Which brings me to the fourth person I trained with while here in LA.
Leo Fong
A 10 year student of Bruce Lee, very low key, funny and sharp considering his age.
Leo epitomizes what a martial artist should look like in his 80s.
Not just from a physical stand point but mentally and internally as well.
There is a very narrow window in the life of a martial artist where many men, and some women, have a desire to fight in a ring or cage to measure themselves to another person. Something Leo recalls quite fondly back in his younger Boxing days.
But at a certain point in your martial art training you grow out of that phase and into an another.
The "Preservation Stage".
Like I was mentioning earlier you want to focus on extending your life not cutting it short.
I won't go through everything Leo does but it has to do with energy work. The kind that we teach in our Neigong Training.
Remember some activites as well as some foods rob us of energy and some, replenish our energy supply.
Daily practice of key Neigong movements will make a great difference in how you feel, your level of power, calmness, and vitality.
It's a science that was once kept for the elite, royalty, taoist priests or the chosen few.
Now you can learn these same techniques and principles out of the comfort of your own home.
You can get started right here.
