The 1-2 combination of MiOsc is back discussing the deep-rooted philosophy of Wah Lum Kung Fu. We reflect on how its practices often clash with the individualistic mindset prevalent in Western culture.
Oscar shed light on the importance of developing trust in your sifu (instructor), emphasizing that this relationship is built on respect and humility—qualities that are sometimes overshadowed by an American emphasis on self-expression and autonomy.
We also discuss the idea that we are not our snowflakes. Fight Club anyone? Wait, the first rule of … never mind.
Wah Lum teaches us the value of community, discipline, and understanding our place within a larger whole. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of traditional kung fu and its relevance in today’s world.
