Things change and adapt. In the pasted, kung fu was a livelihood, you had to be good or die. Each village had it's training school for the family and village members, this is no more. Now, it doesn't matter how good you are people have guns. Now kung fu is for health and exercise, this is the present, it serves a different purpose.
People learn kung fu to be in movies and exercises, no one has time to train as if it's a living.
I taught kung fu for self-defense and exercise, not for fighting. Fighting is no good. It is changing with the times, being useful for now, fighting isn't helpful or good for society. Though Mr. Yueng continues to work with some of his long term students, he considers himself retired and continues his own practice. . .
