Q. Is Chinese Shaolin Kung-Fu / Karate an aggressive art?

 

 

 

A. Yes, and very deadly but that doesn't mean it makes people aggressive. Taught in the wrong way, any martial art can cause big egos and attitudes. We teach our students how to be aggressive if needed, but there's no reason to walk around with this attitude all the time. Attitude is a cover up for low self-esteem. Actually when a martial art is taught properly, the student becomes more confident, and even becomes afraid of what he / she could do. Because they are more confident, they become less aggressive. We think of teaching a highly effective and aggressive art like this. We want to give our students the tools they might need for any situation. However, you don't pull out a sledgehammer to drive a push-pin
