The Masters at Kung Fu Zen believe that the ultimate goal of all Kung Fu styles are the same but the path to achieve that goal may differ. Every style has its own methods for each individuals Kung Fu development - there is no superior style only superior practitioners. You must choose the path that suits you best and train until you get an in-depth understanding to reach your spiritual awakening.
