One of the benefits of training at Wah Lum is the coaching team. You are surrounded by instructors who are constantly checking in, correcting, and encouraging. 

That means you are never left wondering if you are on the right path. You are getting feedback in real time.

Think about school. A single high-stakes test like the SAT gives a snapshot of how you performed on one day under stress. It does not define your intelligence or your potential. 

Research shows that frequent, low-stakes quizzes are much better. They provide more opportunities to learn, reduce pressure, and give a clearer picture of growth over time.

Kung Fu and Tai Chi training work the same way. 

Our tests are important, but what matters most is the ongoing cycle of practice and feedback. 

Every class is like a quiz. Every correction from a Sifu or Si Hing or Si Jye is another chance to improve. The result is steady progress that builds confidence without the weight of one stressful moment.

It is also important to remember that feedback is not criticism. Sometimes you will get detailed, specific instruction. Other times you may not get as much, and that is your opportunity to check in on yourself. 

Both are part of learning.

Action Step: This week, take one piece of feedback from your teacher, big or small, and make it your focus in every class. 

Notice how steady attention to a single detail can accelerate your growth.

Mastery comes from consistent effort, clear guidance, and the support of a strong community. At Wah Lum, that is what you receive every time you step on the floor.

See you in training,

Sifu Oscar
