Treat Him to a Wellness Weekend
Can’t quite convince your dad to strike a yoga pose? Then why not try twisting his arm into a kung fu class or two. Derived from the legendary Ip Man, Wing Chun is a beautiful form of kung fu which is as much designed for inner health as it is for realistic self-defence, so whether your dad’s a martial arts fan or not, it’s a supremely unique option in the Father’s Day gift department. Like many other styles of martial arts,
Mindful Wing Chun works on building a greater sense of awareness to your whole body in order to help you leverage your inner ‘mind force’ and create effortless movements.
